It seems like forever ago that I met Brittany and Jose in Foxburg for their engagement session. With the temperature currently pushing 90, it seems like their snowy engagement session took place on another planet. We had so much fun playing in the snow! I couldn't have asked for a more fun couple. I am sure their wedding will be super fun!

Robert turned one nearly a year ago. In fact, I'll be taking his two year photos this week. We had so much fun at his cake smash. He loved the cake his mom made for him. He's sweet and adorable. I loved this session so much!

Emmet's mom, Anna, did hair and makeup for two weddings that I've photographed. I was so excited when she contacted me to do newborn images for her. Who wouldn't be excited to photograph this adorable bundle of boy? He is so sweet and was perfect during the session. It did make me want a baby!

Braylee came to see me just a few weeks after being born. She had the most beautiful eyes and was so aware of everything that was going on. She stole my heart. I was excited to get to use my new props too! I think it turned out perfectly. I love that she showed us plenty of attitude.

I'm a little behind on blogging. This beautiful girl has already come back for her 1 year session. It's better late than never isn't that what they always say? Penelope is the sweetest and her mom has a great sense of style. I love the vintage vibe and the flowers! It makes me wish I had a little girl to dress up. Hayden refuses to wear anything pink. I wonder why!

Last fall I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely family. It was a beautiful fall day with just the right amount of color all around us. This family is super special to me and it meant a lot to me to be able to capture some memories for them. We got some outside shots and then I surprised mom with some shots of her boy inside with his toys. She had no idea I'd taken them until I sent her the gallery.


I'm in love with all of these photos!

It seems impossible to be writing this post. This handsome young man is my nephew and I can't imagine how the little boy who liked Thomas The Train has grown up so quickly. I'm pretty sure it was just yesterday that I was changing his diaper! I absolutely love this session. Not only because he's my nephew, but because he is an great young man. He's smart, kind, and funny. He's also very tall! I keep telling him to stop growing, but he doesn't listen. Here's to you Blake!  I can't wait to see what comes next!

This family was so much fun! I first met them at a local craft show when I tried out their amazing hand crafted soaps! Seriously, the peach is perfection! I took an Easter photo of the group and we briefly discussed a family session. Schedules got busy and life happened. I connected with them again at the Foxburg Festival and we made plans for their family session. It was a beautiful fall evening in Foxburg! They even brought along the family dog. How cute! If you'd like to check out their amazing soap visit their Etsy shop McCoy's Hand Crafted Soaps or say hi on Facebook McCoy Hand Crafted Soaps on Facebook.

I met with Demi on a lovely fall night in the beautiful town of Foxburg, PA. Anyone who follows me know this is one of my favorite locations. Foxburg is the perfect mix of rustic village and nature. I simply love it! Demi was perfection. I loved each of her outfits and she was so comfortable in front of the camera. Kim and I had a fantastic time photographing her. Good luck Demi. I wish you a lifetime of success!

It's so hard to believe that when we took these photos it was one of the warmest days of summer. There were no thoughts of snow or negative temperatures. I distinctly remember wishing I had a bucket of ice to pour over my head!
Taylor is a senior at Moniteau High School.   I met her and her mom at the Bruin Park. It's one of my favorite places to take photos in our small town area. There is a small creek that I used to play in as a child, a lovely bridge, and plenty of trees and beautiful Western PA scenery. Taylor came prepared with several amazing outfits and an awesome smile and the personality to match! We had so much fun! She'll be graduating in a few months. She has an awesome plan and a great outlook on life. I know she'll go far. Best of luck Taylor! I hope your senior year has been amazing so far!

They'd gone to church together, but didn't know one another. He saw her one day and his heart fluttered. He told his heart to be still. He didn't have time for love. He was busy building his home and working on the family farm. No, he didn't have time for love. But love had time for him. When John told me his side of their epic love story it was impossible not to notice the way he smiled and the joy that danced through his eyes. It was obvious he was truly, madly, deeply in love with Danielle. Just months earlier Danielle had shared her side of the story with me and she'd worn a smile so big I was sure her cheeks were hurting as she told me about the boy who stolen her heart. He'd told her he was working on a project at the church when he surprised her with a ring and a question.
 I was so thankful to be a part of their day. Witnessing the solemn vows and the beginning of their forever was truly an honor. I couldn't imagine a sweeter beginning for such a beautiful couple.
The details were done in shades of blue with plenty of beautiful lights and mason jars.  We loved the cupcakes from Pink Champagne Cupcakery.  The hot cocoa cupcake was nothing short of amazing!
Kim and I had an amazing time photographing this wedding and loved the memories created int he photo booth.  It was truly a fun time!
Congratulations John & Danielle!  I wish you a lifetime filled with love and wonder.
