Outdoor Brewery Engagement Session

Nov 22, 2023

Engagement sessions are the best, in my opinion, when they highlight a couple’s relationship. To the point that if you removed the couple, you could still guess the session was for them. Kristin and Colin’s outdoor brewery engagement session did just that. When she reached out asking if a brewery was a good idea for […]

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. […]

LLC vs Sole Proprietorship

Oct 25, 2023

Did you start offering to take photos of friends and family for free because you just enjoyed doing it? Maybe it has even taken off a bit, and people are reaching out to book a session. It may be time for you to officially start a business. Technically, as soon as you make over $400 […]

Romantic Hibernia Park Engagement Session

Aug 30, 2023

When a couple starts a session with “we are up for anything,” we know we are in for a treat! Jillian and Josh’s romantic Hibernia Park Engagement Session was exactly that! Two scoops of ice cream with chocolate syrup and a cherry on top! Hibernia Park is on of the HMP Team’s favorite locations to […]

Philadelphia Summer Engagement Session

Aug 3, 2023

“Welcome to Philadelphia!” Did you know how much history lives in this one city? Andi and Tye’s Philadelphia summer engagement session was like having my very own tour guide. Tye is a guide for a tour bus company during the holidays. So throughout the entire session, he was telling me facts about all different buildings […]

Joyful Pinnacle Overlook Engagement Session

Jul 21, 2023

Have you ever heard the fun saying that often times a dog looks like its owner? Somehow the owner just gravitates toward a dog breed that, when you look closely, resembles them. I always was just so skeptical about this, but the more I look for it, the more times than not it is true. […]

Elegant Valley Forge Engagement Session

Jul 20, 2023

From my very reliable knowledge of being a doctor after binge-watching Grey’s Anatomy, I can at least say that doctor life is not for the faint of heart. Long shifts. Constantly changing hours. Never-ending knowledge to remember. Just thinking about it makes me tired! Now put two doctor’s together in a relationship and tell me […]

Pennsylvania Wheat Field Engagement Session

Jun 1, 2023

A lot of fun can be had on 200 acres of farmland. Also, 90 minutes is nowhere close to enough time to capture all of its beauty! This was the predicament I found myself in during Amanda and Steven’s Pennsylvania wheat field engagement session. Rolling hills. Endless fields. Contagious love. What more could you ask […]

Romantic Masonic Village Engagement Session

May 18, 2023

Katie and Andrew’s love is one straight out of a movie. They met during COVID through a dating app…since that was all you could really do during that time, as they put it. The best way to pass the time. Once they finally met in-person, it was at a Buffalo Wild Wings for apps and […]

Floral Historic Ashland Engagement Session

Apr 27, 2023

From chicken tenders at F&M to only months away from their wedding, Erin and Kyle continually find ways to have fun in everything they do. Their floral Historic Ashland engagement session was no different. Megan, with the HMP Team, had a blast with these two and caught herself cracking up with them several times throughout […]
