Nate {Williamsport, PA Senior Portrait Photographer}

I've known Nate for many years. Heck, I was his Sunday School teacher a few years ago (the cool one...haha). I was very excited and honored when his mother asked me to take his senior portraits. After the session, when I uploaded his images I was shocked to realize how grown up he looked! Here are a few teasers from the session:








I love this one- The sun was in the perfect spot for a tiny bit of sun flair and dramatic lighting.


I wanted to try something a little different here- I was going for a bit of harsh lighting so I could convert it to black and white and add a texture when I was processing it. I was really lovin' the back lighting there!














I love the "Bokeh" in this picture. Your fun fact for the day- Bokeh is a photographic term that describes an out of focus background. It is achieved by using a large aperture.








I was amazed at how he could do that!


I will be taking Nate out again in the winter for some shots with his snowboard- I can't wait!

Finally!

After months of being deprived, I couldn't take it another day. And of course, what made it more difficult is the fact that when you can't have something, you want it all the more. On so many occasion, I could almost taste the crust of perfection, the sumptuous blend of cheese and sauce, and of course the spicy pepperoni's to top it off. Most of you from Williamsport should know by now what I am referring to- none other than Park Pizza. This weekend I ordered 2 pizzas- one with pepperoni and one with green peppers, onion, and half bacon/half pepperoni. They were amazing- to put it in the words of my 7 year old son "Mommy, Park Pizza makes the best pizza!"
And we're not alone in our opinion- there's a reason people are willing to wait hours for a pizza; it's just that good.
(For those of you not from the area, Park Pizza is a local pizza restaurant that burned down months ago and recently re-opened)

Baby Mason {Williamsport, PA Baby Photographer}

Little Mason was just 8 weeks old for this session. He was such a sweetie pie!! He only fussed a few times throughout the session, and then he fell asleep and was a perfect angel! These are four of my favorites from the session.

Sick, sick, sick!!!

It started a week ago- I felt tired, run down, just looking at the computer gave me a headache....yep- I got the flu (or something very similar). The past several days have been spent on the couch. Then my poor little B spent the last 2 days with a high fever (102-105). It finally seems to be subsiding, so my life can hopefully get back on track. My point in telling you this?? I have several blog posts and sessions to catch up on, so I do apologize to those of you patiently waiting to see your images. I will be catching up asap, and praying that the little one won't get sick! In the meantime I'm looking forward to the upcoming sessions this week! 

Isaac {Williamsport, PA Family Photographer}

Meet Isaac and his family. His mommy was my son's kindergarten teacher at Williamsport Christian School (Got bless her soul!!) Isaac just turned 1 so his mom wanted some family portraits. We met at Indian Park in Montoursville, PA for a great photo session.







He absolutely would not keep his hands out of his mouth, but I liked the shot anyways.



Looove the tongue and drool!

Jessica + Jay: I Do {Central PA Wedding Photographer}

It all began at a funeral home....not exactly your typical love story! Jessica and Jay met while they were funeral directors and embalmers living in North Carolina and the rest is history. According to Jessica, she and Jay are:
"Seriously cut from the same cloth. I don't know how two people could be so much alike and we are each other's best friend! We spend a ton of time together and love every minute of it. We enjoy playing tennis and riding bikes together, watching college football, traveling and we LOVE our TV time at night!"
The connection and love these two share was quite evident on their wedding day. It was truly one of the most heartfelt ceremonies I'd ever witnessed. Here are a few images from the day, with a second blog post to follow this week.








Is she not stunning?!






The bridal party.

The handsome groom









Loved the ballet flats. These seem to be the current trend, and for good reason!





I LOVED how Jessica wiped away the tear from Jay's face. What a beautiful moment for them to look back on.









The reception was held at the Bastress Mountain Winery which is a great venue for a smaller wedding.
