Colin + Chelsea - Engagement


THESE GUYS! <3 I had SUCH a good time laughing, exploring + getting poison ivy with these guys! We were so worried about the weather leading up to their session but the sun came out + it was the perfect day - they SO deserved it! Chelsea had such cool and interesting photography requests (helllllloooo, gorgeous sunset on top of a peak!) so we took a hike to get those for her! We also played around with some gorgeous blossoming trees + laid in some flowers. SO romantic, these two! Colin + Chelsea have an obviously fun, easy-going and loving bond and it was a great time capturing that for them. If their engagement pictures are this good, can you imagine what their wedding is going to be like?! Enjoy some of my favs (even though I wish I could post them all!)

Nick + Amanda - Engaged!


So once upon a time, I was still shooting outdoor sessions in January…. crazy, right?! Nick + Amanda definitely bit the bullet on a breezy, cold but beautiful day + it was absolutely worth it. These two were terrific to photograph even when clouds were rolling in around us. Nick + Amanda are genuine, fun + relaxed around one another - what more could a photographer ask from them?! And I gotta say, I loveeee Amanda’s sweet laugh, too. Only a few more months until their Big Day! Enjoy some favs!

Quin + Karly - Engaged!

These two managed to have a sunrise session on the iciest day of the year (extra props to Karly for wearing heals for half of it!) and still ended up with an incredibly beautiful gallery. We started their session at the Harrisburg Capitol building.  Boy, was that an adventure. If you look closely at the ground Quin + Karly are walking on, it was a compete sheet of ice. But we caught some beautiful light so it was well worth it. Next, we headed to Fort Hunter where we captured a cute baseball save-the-date + even got down close to the Susquehanna River where it was completely frozen over. All in all, these two were troopers. You would never guess while looking at their gallery how cold they were + they totally rocked their session with smiles on their faces.   Now to patiently wait for September! Enjoy some favorites of mine.

Jim + Hannah - Engaged!

I just ADORE these guys. So much that I traveled to Philly for such an exciting session with these two! The Franklin Bridge, Philly skyline, some incredibly beautiful walls, + the street corner where they had their first kiss all make an appearance in this eclectic session.  I’ve gotta say - I LIVE for sessions like these where my couples trust me to push the limits with creative posing + unique spots.  Jim + Hannah are so in-sync with each other and it shows in their posing. Natural, soft, loving <3They also had me laughing hysterically (I won’t mention any drunk stories, Jim) and feeling like I was hanging with friends during their session. I’m counting down the days until I get to photograph these two become husband and wife. They are already 2017’s power couple in my book! Enjoy some (or many) of my favs.

Ryan + Janelle - Engaged!


We waited for the perfect weather for Ryan + Janelle’s session and with the slightest overcast skies, we got it. Janelle mentioned a beautiful spot where she had hiked in the past and it served lots of unique spots - including a “beach”! Ryan + Janelle are the sweetest together and were a breeze to photograph.  I wish every session were this *easily* perfect :) Can’t wait to photograph their Big Day - so soon!!!

Andrew + Emily - Engaged!

This session was SO fun.  It was one of those times that “work” felt an awful lot like hanging out with friends. Downtown Hershey was the perfect location for Andrew + Emily’s session. It was simple, classy + offered great airy light.  To make things that much greater, a little cutie named Oliver joined in for our session and offered his modeling skills. Andrew + Emily’s wedding can’t come soon enough!

Kevin + Alyssa - Engaged!

Kevin and Alyssa are two of the most beautifully compatible people I’ve ever worked with.  Their chemistry was undeniable to photograph. Kevin was always doting on Alyssa, gently playing with her hair and ready for the kissing poses… but mostly he was completely hilarious and had me dying of laughter their whole session and what made it funnier was how Alyssa would go right along with his jokes. Not pictured below are the shots of him trying to dunk her into a pond and him sucking on her hand (however, I did have to post at least one blooper collage of his hilarious faces).  Alyssa is one of my favorite people and it makes me happy to see her with the perfect partner. I also work with her sister quite a bit so I have a bit of a soft spot for her and her family ;) From the fun details I’ve heard already, I’m impatiently waiting their Big Day (lets just say, I will be eating as much “cake” as I can shove in my mouth).  Thanks, Kevin and Alyssa, for being so stinkin’ fun to be around. Enjoy some favorites!

Tim + Laura - Engaged!

If I am to get up at 4 in the morning for anyone, I’m glad it was Tim and Laura. These two are a super fun (and hilarious!) couple that have the most amazing chemistry to photograph.  Between playing with cats (our little friend makes an appearance in a shot below!), chasing the sunrise, dodging dead fish on the riverfront, and splashing around in curiously warm water, I forgot that I was actually working and not hanging out with friends.  Their wedding in October is going to be a favorite of mine - I can tell already. Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Anthony + Robyn - Engagement Session

It is currently hailing/raining/snowing outside but I’m in Spring mode over here.  Anthony and Robyn’s session was windy and a bit chilly but that didn’t stop them from being the sweetest couple to photograph.  I’ve said it a million times - you can’t pose chemistry like this.  I was so giddy over their images as I was taking them - a beautiful couple in some unique new locations is my Heaven. Enjoy my favorites from Anthony and Robyn’s session!

Steven + Brittany - Engaged!

Let me tell ya, I love watching these two (Sounds creepy... but I'm a photographer so I'm allowed to say that).  We met at a beautiful park for their engagement session and the way that Steve dotes on Brittany melts my heart. He also buys her crazy awesome boots (seen pictured)!! This was one of the most beautifully "autumn-colored" sessions and I'd say their outfits were pretty on-point for the occassion. Thanks so much for going along with my crazy ideas and breaking some rules with me, guys! Can't wait for your wedding next year!!!  Enjoy some favorites of mine.

Ira + Chelsea - Engaged!

Ira & Chelsea are just the coolest couple! They enjoy simple and beautiful things like music and painting and bird watching - I didn't know people like this existed anymore! Even better, they are so in sync with each other. They were laughing so hard at me during their session because I couldn't get over just how beautifully they communicated with each other.  I was "awwwwwwwing" constantly. They were always stealing looks of each other and nuzzling - without me even asking!!  It was a session-come-true.  The autumn trees were perfect for this special couple. We were surrounded by bright yellow everywhere we turned.  Take a close look at the shots with the vinyl and books surrounding them. Ira painted one of those vinyl covers for Chelsea!!! I know, I know. I'm dying of secondhand cute, too.  To say I'm excited about Ira & Chelsea's upcoming nuptials is an understatement. After a session this perfect, I'm practically counting down the days.  Careful not to let your heart melt while looking at these - enjoy some favorites!

Evan + Danielle - Engaged!

Something amazing happens when a photographer gets to work with an old friend. Evan and I used to be the best of friends and I was so happy to hear about his engagement to beautiful Danielle.  I knew that they trusted my artistic vision and I went running with it. This is one of the most eclectic sessions to date (something I always strive for). From dreamy lit foliage to clean architecture to a split SECOND of golden hour to rustic textures, I am in love with this group of images. Evan & Danielle have immaculate style and it didn't matter where I stuck them; they stood out like diamonds.  These two have the thing that I find to be important in couples' relationships - a friendship - and my favorite pictures are of them laughing and joking together. I can't even imagine the beauty that we are going to capture on their Wedding Day next year. Congratulations again, Evan & Danielle -- words don't express how happy I am for the both of you.

Matt + Heather - Engaged!

The Hershey Gardens was the perfect location for this classy, romantic couple. It was a beautiful day filled with glowing light and two adorable lovebirds. Matt and Heather are always up for anything - rolling around in the grass, posing by themselves, trampling all over creation in the beating heat - and not a single complaint! And can we talk about Heather's amazing eyes?!!??  I can't wait to be there on their Big Day in November! Enjoy some favorites xoxo

Sam & Shelby - Engaged!

Some sessions I just feel badly about being paid for because they are so easy going & fun. This was one of those sessions. Sam & Shelby were sweet enough to follow me through the woods, in the water and all over the place in the terrible heat. Soooo worth it! We snagged some beautiful light for their session so the humidity wasn't even on my mind. Make sure to take notice to the close ups of Shelby --- this girl's eyes, I tell ya!!!  I'm sooooo ready for their big day... until next year, guys!  Make sure to practice your "nuzzling!"  ;)  Enjoy some favorites.

Eliut + Alisha - Engaged!

High school sweethearts & Disney lovers Eliut & Alisha were so fun to photograph together. They are the perfect mix of classy and goofy which created a beautiful eclectic gallery. I always get a little excited when someone wants their session at the Capitol. Aside from being visually appealing itself, the old buildings and alleyways surrounding are so much fun to capture couples "canoodling" in.  I'm already excited to work with them again on their big day! Enjoy some of my favys.
