I recently met up with some of the folks over at Deciduous Life to update their product shots. This session took place at the Penn State Berks baseball fields. There were many laughs had by all, and we soaked up the golden hour dreaminess like a sponge. Here are a few of my favorites from the session! Thanks for trusting me with your vision!
I recently met up with the Murillo Family to document this fun time in their lives. They have an adorable little guy, and he’s mobile and so full of personality! We lucked out and were gifted some amazing weather that afternoon - it was a tad on the chilly side, but there was surprisingly no rain to be found! We did a quick lap around some of my favorite spots in the Wyomissing Park, letting Louie lead the way. I’m so glad that they asked me to be their photographer, and I hope this session was the first of many more to come. They are so full of joy and love, and I am sure that I had a big, silly smile on my face during the entire session. Scroll down to view a few of my favorite images from our time together and you’ll see why!
P.S. I am a sucker for baby feet - you’ll see what I mean when you view the images from their session! Seriously - how could anyone resist taking photos of those cute toes??
I've been so busy lately that I haven't made much time to take pictures just for me, just for fun. When winter storm Toby arrived today and gifted us with over 12 inches of snow, my work plans had to be rearranged. (I'm not complaining at all - I'm actually very thankful for the unexpected day off!) My Shiba Inu, Momo, absolutely loves the snow - so when she refused to come inside and warm up, I decided to join her outside and take a few photos of her snow day shenanigans. Winter is my favorite season, and I'm really sad to have to say goodbye to it. So, I'm extra thankful for this early spring gift from Mother Nature! Finally, a storm that didn't miss us...
Back in April, Jenna and Jeremy reached out to me to ask if I would photograph their son when he made his appearance. I am always honored when I am asked to create portraits for people, but there's something extra special about photographing newborns. It's such a joy and privilege to create photographs that you know will be cherished for a lifetime - if not longer!
After much anticipation, Aiden made his appearance on September 1st! Last week, I drove to Jenna and Jeremy's home in Maryland to meet baby Aiden and to take his newborn portraits. This was a hybrid lifestyle/posed session - I started off by capturing some photographs with Jenna, Jeremy, and Aiden together in their beautiful home, then finished with a few poses that Jenna had requested.
I met Jenna a few years ago, when my brother-in-law played football in the NFL for the Baltimore Ravens. Jenna babysat my niece and nephew, and was always so patient, kind, positive, and fun! I knew that she would make a wonderful mother one day. As soon as I arrived at their home for this photoshoot, I witnessed her and Jeremy's strong connection with Aiden. Baby Aiden was blessed with an incredible set of parents and role models.
Here are a few sneak previews from our time together.
Congratulations again, Jenna and Jeremy! Welcome to the world, Aiden! Big thanks to my mom for keeping me company on the ride, and for helping out during the photoshoot!
A week from today I'll be celebrating my 19th wedding anniversary! I can't believe how quickly those years have flown by. With my anniversary on my mind, and being trapped inside because of the rainy weather, Akina and I decided to unpack my wedding dress and have some fun. I hope you enjoy the results of our impromptu 5 minute photoshoot. I love love love how these turned out! <3
