Happy New year!! We are back and looking forward to a very busy, exciting and surprise filled year! I can’t wait!!
But first, I am going to play catch up from the end of the year….
Ashley came to me a while ago to do her senior session, but due to weather and other cirumstances, we rescheduled. So a few days after Christmas, I met Ashley and her friend Molly in Lancaster. It was one of the coldest days we have had. The wind was ridiculous! But, we got through it!! Check ’em out!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! We will be closed from Friday December 25 – Monday, January 4th. Enjoy your holiday, be safe and God Bless!!
I was so excited when I got an email a few weeks ago from Audrey and Mike saying that they just had a baby boy!!
What a sweetie pie!! He did such a great job being a new little model. But, like all babies, he had enough.
Hopefully you will see more of him over the next year and watch him grow!
Saturday was a cold one!! I met the Tran’s in Hershey for a little mini session for the family and their sweet little boy! He was so stinkin’ cute! His smile will just melt your heart!! He took to me really fast and grabbed my hand to walk with me wherever I wanted to photograph him. It makes me giggle just to see his little face!!
Words pretty much fail me when I try to tell you about an experience that I had about a week ago. But I will try….
Emma Leigh, was born at 6:14 pm on the most gorgeous day of December. The time was the same as the date of her parents wedding day.
I was truly honored and humbled to be asked to photograph her coming into this world. I had the hardest time editing the images without sobbing and still do whenever I see them as I remember the moments.
Mike and Joanna, she is so beautiful and I can’t even begin to thank you for allowing me to share in all these moments of your life!! I love you both dearly!! (even if you did make me take my favorites out! :P~~)
Friday was our last wedding of the year!! We traveled to Downingtown for Jim and Annette’s big day! We met everyone at the Sheraton Great Valley for getting ready, first glance and to shoot all the formals because the days are so short. Then we all piled in the limo and headed in to West Chester to shot a bit more. Not only did I have Liesa with me shooting, Tony, the ring bearer decided I needed another partner. He was so cute! Every time I moved, he was right by my side doing exactly what I was. He has a bright future!
After the ceremony, we went back to the hotel where the party could finally start! Jim and Annette’s favorite place is Hawaii, so they had the whole reception decked out like we were actually there. Everyone was presented with a real Lei and ate out of real Pineapples. What a sweet twist!
Here are a few from the day!
Annette loves colorful socks, so Jim surprised her with these gems!
Whew!! We have been gone too long! Sorry for the lack of Blog posts! We went on Thanksgiving vacation and have been slammed with portraits to get in before Christmas. I promise more posts soon!
With that said, Saturday, Tiffany, John and Ella came to the studio for their mini session when we had an impromtu shoot in the snow! Here is just a peek!
A few months ago, I was asked to participate in the Best of Weddings Susquehanna Valley Bridal Show at the Lancaster Marriott and Convention Center. This show was unlike any other. There were 3 separate room filled with one vendor from each speciality, (i.e photographer, cake artist, florist, invitations,DJ, event designer) and we were to transform the room however we wanted. Our room had 4 themes: Brights and Polka dots, Nature, Old Hollywood/Glamour and Black and White. We took 3 days to set this room up and it turned out so fabulous! All the vendors in my room pulled together to make this spectaular! Thank you so much to Special Occasions, Studio Jenz, and Grand Events for helping us pull this off!! Stacia, Thank you for helping with this vision and owning it!
A huge Thank you to Jonnaysa Kirkham of Planned Perfection who had the idea and ran with it! This show was a huge success!!
Here are all the creative minds I got to share this room with! You all are so talented!
What started out as a mini Christmas session, turned into a full on portrait session! It was such a beautiful day out that I didn’t want them to have to stay in the studio. The Garrett’s are such a wonderful family and the kids were so great to work with!! That you for making my job so easy!!!
MIke and Joanna came over this weekend so I could do a maternity session for them. We had this planned from the day Mike told me they were expecting! Hopefully in a few weeks, you will see him or her on here from the delivery!! I am just waiting for the call to go to the hospital!!
I had to do it!
