When to Schedule Your Engagement Session

Mar 18, 2021

I often receive this question from my couples right after they book me: When is the right time to schedule my engagement session? So I thought it would be helpful to note 3 important things to think about when answering that question because honestly, you could do it any time between when you book and […]

Best of 2020 Engagement Sessions

The engagement session. You may ask at first, what is the point of an engagement session. Do I need to have it in my wedding package? Is it worth it? My easy answer to this is YES!! They are so important! I can’t express enough how important they are! Honestly, they are my favorite photography […]

Pinnacle Overlook Fall Puppy Engagement Session

Oct 30, 2020

Puppy +fall colors + Pinnacle Overlook = the perfect combination for an engagement session. Even if rain tries to cancel our fun, we don’t let it bring us down. Sadly, this seems to be a theme for me in 2020. Quite often when I have a session scheduled for the evening, the radar shows that […]

Lancaster County Park Summer Engagement Session

Aug 12, 2020

They sat along the soft grass. The sun setting behind them, shining light through the tree branches at Lancaster County Park. Only the faint sound of baseball players hollering in the background. And then Gino began to play his guitar. A beautiful tune came from the instrument. Kelsey instantly smiled. As if this song had […]

Cloudy Summer Field Engagement Session at Overlook Park, PA

Jul 17, 2020

Right as we got into the car to head to the session, we could start to see the clouds rolling in. Then came the small droplets of rain. And just as we reached the parking lot, the skies opened up and started dumping. Puddles began forming all around. Although the forecast said it would stop […]

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 […]
