When your second photographer earns her Master’s Degree you have a session, tell her story and sing her praises: Elyse was born and raised in Millersburg, PA. Her love for photography began in high school sneaking her dad’s DSLR camera when digital photography was just starting to be a thing. After high school, she entered […]

SPRING! Spring has sprung and it feels oh so good. Katie asked me months and months ago after she and Jon booked me for their September wedding at Lodge at Liberty Forge in Mechanicsburg, PA if they should wait until spring for their engagement session. While it can be a tough call since my schedule […]

Longwood Gardens? Yes, please! You can NEVER go wrong with Longwood. It’s why I keep a membership year-round. Yes, there are crowds to contend with but if you can be flexible and don’t have your heart absolutely set on the fountains (and you wear THE PERFECT DRESS), magic is bound to happen. I met Johnny […]

“Whisper something in her ear.” This may have been the first time I have ever asked a client to do this. While I will never know what he said, Devon took it to heart and the photos from that moment choke me up a little bit. See if you can figure out which set it […]

But, there’s this one characteristic that all of the guys I work with seem to have: he would do anything for his fiancé. Just to give you an idea of what […]

He’s a paramedic and she’s a nurse. Together think of how many people they will help in their lives. I love that. They are incredibly kind and beautiful souls I am so happy to have met and am humbled to have photographed. Emily and Dan will be married in May at the Cork Factory Hotel […]

Mother. The word holds incredible emotion and meaning within it. It’s easy to take our own mother or our roll as a mother or parent for granted. Easy, that is, until we no longer have our mother to guide us on our paths, hear stories (or struggle ourselves) to conceive before we feel our family […]

Ahhhhh The Melhorns! Some of the sweetest people on the planet. Between each of our busy schedules, we were finally able to squeeze in an anniversary session. It was about time!
