The woman wandered over as we straightened out the stack of books on the table. “Which of you is the author?” She asked, glancing at one of the covers from the other side of the table. I immediately pointed at Katie, who smiled. “I am.” For as long as I’ve known Katie, she’s been talking […]

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.

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 […]
