Melissa and Patrick gave me a tour of the college where they met seven years ago for their engagement session with me last month and it made for such a fun, comfortable, personal series of images.  Patrick saw Melissa outside of the Science Hall on the tiny northeast PA campus of brick buildings and quiet […]

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE being a part of several weddings a year! That’s 15 or so First Looks that I adore and more than a dozen first dance and written, personalized vows. Nearly 20 grooms who get big smiles or damp eyes when they see their bride walking toward them and nearly 20 […]

I love a lot of things that came into play while exploring the nearby city of Wilkes-Barre PA last week with Heather and John — obvious affection, lots of laughter and an adorable puppy. I have had a blast with this young, fun couple since we first talked about their Sept. 2015 wedding a couple of […]

Yesterday, I shared some of my favorite images of the details of our boho-themed bridal shower styled shoot — the food, candles, table set-up and all of the fun decorations and favors. Today, it’s all about the models! This part of the shoot is where I am most in my comfort zone and at my […]

There are only six weeks until Valentine’s Day! We just got through Christmas and New Year’s Day and, if you’re like me, the holiday decorations are just coming down and I am just catching up on unpacking and laundry and organization. But, before you know it, it’s going to be time to recognize the significant […]

It’s not very often as a photographer that you’re able to watch a future client/couple in real life before you’re even hired. With Andy and Gina, though, I knew there was going to be a ring before she did! (Well, OK, I’m sure she had a hunch, but still…!) You see, I was the Maid […]

I was on my way to an engagement session with one of my 2015 wedding couples recently and while enjoying some country music in the car and a rainbow to my right, I knew it was going to be a special morning. McKenna and Kyle and their son Wyatt celebrated their love on a beautiful […]
