I just received another client order in this week for my custom designed albums. I always get soooo excited when the fed ex guy drops my order off- everything else is immediately put on hold while I tear open the box and admire the amazing craftmanship that goes into each album. I love knowing that the portraits I've taken are being put to good use. This album is something the family will cherish for many years and generations to come, and it's so fulfilling to know that I played a role in that.
You can see the keepsake proof box and the detail of one of the page borders here. I like to keep my designs clean and simple with a splash of color for the right album.

Trish is a lovely senior from Jersey Shore Area High School in PA. We met at Ravensburg State Park for her senior portraits. I had never shot there before, but it was perfect! There's a beautiful creek with a waterfall, bridge, and wooded background as well as open grass. I'll definitely be going back there sometime.
I totally feel like I just had a mini reunion! I also know Amber from middle school, and she contacted me to take portraits of her and her family. I love working with people I knew from school! She has a beautiful baby girl as well.
We were at Brandon Park in Williamsport, PA for most of the session. It's one of my favorite spots to shoot in.
Annie and I knew each other in high school, and recently reconnected on facebook (love it!). I've also known her husband since middle school. I was so excited for her shoot because I didn't have a chance to meet her daughter yet. It was actually kind of weird, because I feel like we could still be in high school, but yet we have children and families now. She wanted to have a fall theme for her portraits, which I loved. I usually don't use props, but fall is one time I do enjoy getting out some hay bales and pumpkins. Her daughter is just as beautiful as she is!
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!

When viewing these pictures, please take into consideration they may not look as sharp as they do in print. Also, keep in mind that the color will not look the same on all computers. This is especially true with black backgrounds, which may even appear blotchy or uneven. When the pictures are printed this is not an issue. Thank you!
