You often don’t know how your next couple is going to find you. You show up on social media, your website, and in-person, each with the hope that you connect with someone on a personal level that is deeper than just someone who can take their pictures. It has always been one of my favorite […]

Puppy-Loving, Winter Engagement Session at Nolde Forest in Reading, PA

Feb 19, 2020

As they pulled into the parking lot at Nolde Forest, I slowly stepped out of my car and started to get my camera ready to go and pull my bag out and over my shoulder. Right as I was turning back around to give them hugs, two paws landed on the ground behind their car […]

A Sun-Filled, Joyful Winter Session at Overlook Park in Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Jan 21, 2020

A snowy week. A rain forecasted day. But a beautifully lit engagement session. Brielle and Zack are from out-of-state, so scheduling their engagement session was very limited on options. We had to find a date that they would be coming up to see family, before their wedding in April 2020. We easily got the date […]

Blustery Evening Engagement Session at Masonic Village in Elizabethtown, PA

Nov 28, 2019

Emily and Wilder are smiling ear-to-ear at each other. Their heads slowly lean forward. As their foreheads touch, their eyes close. They share […]

Cozy Fall Engagement Session at Overlook Park

Oct 31, 2019

A Cloudy Fall Engagement Session at Overlook Park in Lancaster County

Oct 17, 2019

That was easy! I swear, at the end of engagement sessions, I need the “Now, That Was Easy!” button. It is just so easy and effortless with each of my couples. We instantly connect every time, and it ALWAYS feels like we have been friends for years and are just catching up. Don’t let Michelle […]

A Romantic Engagement Session at Masonic Village in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania

Oct 10, 2019

They walked out to the center of the road. Hand-in-hand. Smiling. Slowly, they faced each other and rested their heads together. Closing their eyes. Breathing in unison. And then….. A car comes up behind them. So we quickly move to the side and resume position. But then. Another car starts coming from the opposite direction. […]
