I got this season started out right with some of my favorite settings and some beautiful families. I apologize for the pictures being sort of jumbled, I was having trouble with wordpress… new website is coming soon so I hope to get my blogging more streamlined.

Enjoy and contact me for family sessions!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I will not be taking any more clients for fall sessions due to my high workload right now and need of a personal rest period over the holidays. If you need family pictures and want to wait for the snow, I'll hopefully begin booking sessions again in January! Thanks so much for all my amazing amazing clients this year!!!

Here's a few favorites from the last couple weeks!

When Kendra called me to set up some pictures for their 2 year anniversary, I was so excited! It’s always an honor to get to photograph your past wedding clients, especially those who are still so happy and in love! We had a great time, even through a little rain, and ventured down to trails around Behrend, in Erie PA for some fall anniversary pics. I couldn’t resist some gorgeous fallf oliage and nature shots as well Enjoy!

This wedding was completely special to me, as Aaron is my second cousin and he and my sister and I all grew up together. In fact Amy even graduated with him! So getting to see a family member tie the knot with such an incredible young lady, Hollie, was a joyful event for everyone. Aaron & Hollie met while working together at the Sarah Reed Children’s Center, and originally wouldn’t date because Hollie had a rule about dating co-workers! After various circumstances, they met again outside of work, talked and talked, and the rest was history!

Even though the rain was cold and wet and not the ideal weather setting we had envisioned, we made the best of it in a short time and I think got some of my favorite documentary shots ever. It was easy with such a beautiful and in love, happy couple! Enjoy – here’s a bunch more on flickr.

I had to post some more from this session as I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into them and love them so much Here’s a few more for you all!

I love… this one…..

Also check out this new mural on a medical building on 8th street… perfect much? Even though it was pitch black when we were done we had to stop!

I’ve had so many requests for family pictures for the fall, that I’m running out of days! So I’ve decided to hold some awesome family sessions at a special discount!
