A Cropped Top. Snow. Fan flowing and dancing to Stevie Nicks. While it was never what I imagined my winter photo shoot with Anne to look like, I honestly should’ve. One of the things that I have always admired most about them is their ability to seemingly be 100% themselves, regardless of what other people […]

When it comes to keeping social media organized, I tend to have one of two natural modes. Either I have so many ideas that I am overwhelmed and end up not wanting to post or I have no ideas and also don’t feel like posting. Both options have the worst outcome possible – me not […]

While I always get a little nervous before any shoot, this one was something special. And even more nerve-wracking than normal. It is one thing to shoot strangers. Another to shoot friends. And another entirely to shoot a friend who is a fellow photographer. Rachel (from Rachel Word Photography) has been a friend for many […]

As Z dropped two bulging bags on the ground, I was instantly reminded of the first time we had shot together. After meeting at a happy hour for bloggers, we made plans for a collaboration shoot so Z (known to the world as Zaina of The Chic Chemist) could get her winter collection taken care […]

“I had a marvelous time ruining everything…” – Taylor Swift, The Last Great American Dynasty 2020 has been a year of transitions and unexpected changes for all of us, so when Madison asked if we could do a shoot for this new era in her life, I was more than thrilled. While she’s closing an […]

“Well, you know I was originally thinking hazmat suits,” Cailin said to me as she adjusted her Christmas themed face mask. “But with everything going on, they’re actually pretty hard to come by. So we decided to go ultra-Christmas,” she shrugged with a glint in her eye. ‘Ultra-Christmas’ is an underestimation for the amount of […]

“We met at a club down the street. Now it’s a CVS.” Dean points down the block and adjusts his gold framed glasses with a mischievous glint in his eye. “But, I did buy Listerine there the other day. So I guess that’s how it goes.” Matt looks from Dean to me and just sighs […]

“If I’d known that getting our picture taken just meant I’d get to do this all day,” Eric grinned as he slipped his arm around Gina’s waist. “I definitely would’ve done this sooner.” Every partnership that I photograph has a unique dynamic and expresses their love in different ways. Some are full of jokes and […]

“Oh man, I actually have to touch her?” Michael laughed at his own joke as he wrapped his arms around Zaina’s waist and pulled her in tight. He had been up to similar antics throughout their couples photo shoot session at Longwood Gardens. “Michael!” She smacked his arm playfully and rolled her eyes at me […]

“Don’t worry, they’re married!” I called jokingly as another set of visitors walked by as Deb and Ethan kissed during their couples photo shoot session at Lancaster County Central Park. Deb generously giggled, as she always does, no matter how bad the joke. Ethan only smiled, but the warmth reached all the way up to […]

“So, I brought this vest to change into.” Tia held up this gorgeous multi-patterned and multi-colored vest and it was like she was holding up the physical embodiment of my own words. On my website, Instagram, and anywhere else that I talk about my business, I always say part of what I do is take […]

“Want to spend forever with me, Winnie?” If you know anything about Tuck Everlasting, it is probably this line. If you know more than that awkwardly delivered line from the ill-advised movie adaption, then we should probably be best friends. (Serious on both counts. The movie was pretty bad and I’d be happy to be […]
