Fall Foliage Engagement Session

Nov 15, 2023

“I’m hesitant.” This is not a normal text I send out, but for Courtney and Trevor’s fall foliage engagement session, it is one that I did. As we were past noon on their session date, the skies slowly turned to dark. It seemed as though a rainy afternoon was rolling in. The skies showed it. […]

Highland Cow Senior Session

Nov 3, 2023

I have lived in Lancaster County all of my life. I have seen my fair share of cows driving the back roads, but they have pretty much always been the black and white ones. It took me until a senior reached out to photograph her highland cow senior session that I finally got introduced to […]

Senior Session at Nolde Forest

Oct 26, 2023

My grandparents live in a small-ish town, and we often go there to have dinner with the whole family. It’s one of those towns where everyone knows everyone. I just love the feel of it! It’s so fun knowing that when you walk in, someone will immediately say hi to you. Just so welcoming. I […]

The Manor House at Prophecy Creek Fall Wedding

Oct 18, 2023

Family! Megan and Kyle’s wedding felt like one big family. Even from the moment it began. Typically, it is said that two families are joining as one, but the whole day you couldn’t tell who was on the bride’s side and who was on the groom’s. Plus even we, the vendors, felt like family. Their […]
