Is it not every little girls dream to be treated like a princess, surrounded by pink on her birthday? I had the opportunity to photograph M’s 5th birthday party planned and organized by Rasheeda at Gaggles and Giggles. http://gagglesandgiggles.com/index.html  They do posh parties for little girls and boys and do an incredible job taking the stress off parents in party planning. This party included Cinderella and a horse drawn carriage ride around the property. I was wishing I was once again…5. Enjoy the photos in all their “pinkness”.

That is pretty much how I describe the shoot today with Jen and her beautiful family. Her little guy is 20 months old and gave all us a workout till we were done. Needless to say, he set the tone for the shoot and I realized just how hard little ones make you work for a good shot! Jen asked at one point if I miss having little ones and I can honestly say “no, I’m good”. LOL. Seriously, thanks Jen for allowing me to capture your family. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

Happy fall.

Now that I have loaded their gallery I wanted to share some more shots of the awesome family I did a few weeks back. They were so much fun and willing to do just about anything. Shooting 14 people is never easy, and getting them all organized and looking can be tough but this group knew how to work it! Thanks so much for sharing your family with me. Again, I love this job.

Enjoy.

Wow. That was a long time ago for me. A senior in high school. The prom, being the oldest in the school, learning to drive, how fun. I was able to do a modeling session for 4 awesome girls and came away with so many great shots it was hard to chose for the blog. They rocked this session. They came prepared with lots of energy, a few changes of clothes and their personality. Thank you Dana, Amanda, Jenna and Lauren. I {heart} you girls and wish you all the best this year. I think you ladies made me realize that doing Senior Photography is something I LOVE! Enjoy these.

You guys ROCK!!!!!!

I had the pleasure of taking photos of Amy and her extended family including her Mom and brother on Saturday. The weather started out cold, damp and raining! I was worried since organizing 14 people for a photo shoot with everyones schedules can be impossible!! As you can see from this sneak peak the weather turned out amazing and we had such a good time. They were up for anything and I felt like I have known them longer than the 2 hours we spent together. Thanks for tolerating my “assistant” and for treking all around to find fun locations! You guys were great. Thank you and here’s your sneak peak! More to come.

and one I just love…..

I am so lucky to be asked by people to do their photos. I mean, they PAY me to do something that I’d do for free. (ok, don’t tell anyone that) I love it. It makes me happy. I lose myself in it when I’m taking photos. Today I took photos of Grace and her doggie. Grace’s mommy is a friend of my sisters and how excited was I when she asked me to do shots of Grace. (you will see why) She is a beautiful little girl and her personality rocks! We took photos for over an hour and when I asked her if she wanted to be done, she chuckled and said “no”. Gotta love that! I couldn’t help but load this one right away as a sneak peak. Thanks Jenn for letting me take photos of Grace. More photos to come!

Hugs.

One of the many awesome things about being a photographer is moments like these, being asked by a dear friend to capture her most important day with photos. I was honored and blessed to a part of such a great day. The weather was perfect, the bride looked beautiful and the couple was so stinkin’ in love. Danie and Bill and the kind of couple that just being around them makes you feel how much they love each other. I myself believe in soulmates and I truly believe they each have found their soulmate in one another. From the moment they said their “I do’s” it was a celebration. Thank you for letting me be a part of such a great day, thank you for being my biggest cheerleader and thank you for being my friend. I love you both and wish you nothing but happiness and lots of love.

Always,

one of my favorite shots ever….

Thank you again! Love you!

One of the many joys in my life is the creation of Facebook. I know, I’m lame. I’m addicted though and it has brought me in contact with so many of my “lost” friends from my past that I would have never reconnected with otherwise. I LOVE facebook. (ok, I admitted it) One of the people I found was a friend from my nursing school days, Cindy. Cindy contacted me about taking photos of her son Quang. He is from Vietnam and his story his amazing and he is one of the kindest, nicest young men I’ve met in a long time. He was willing to try anything for this shoot and I had so many good shots to chose from. Cindy, great job raising such an amazing kid and Quang best of luck to you. I hope we keep in touch my new friend.

Enjoy.

I was so lucky to stumble upon the website for Flashes of Hope while searching for a way to take something I love and also give back. I highly recommend you check out their website and consider volunteering or donating to such a wonderful charity. They are a non-profit organization dedicated to creating powerful , uplifting portraits of children fighting cancer and other life threatening illnesses. I got inspired…and I donated my time to take photos at Gretna Glen Camp and Retreat Center outside Hershey, PA. I was greeted by Jeannie from Flashes of Hope and 3 other photographers including Jen Baltgalvis  from Camp Hill, PA. We split up the 50 children who wanted their photos taken and we starting shooting! The grounds at Mt. Gretna are absolutely stunning so it wasn’t hard to find great locations to take photos of some very inspiring, motivating and heartwarming children suffering from some serious illnesses including cancer. It made me so proud to be a part of capturing a moment in time for the parents of these children. I am honored to post these photos. I am humbled by the experience and I will be volunteering again next year hoping to photograph some of the same children again. Thanks Flashes of Hope for what you do and for allowing me to be a part of it.
