Hailey | Senior Photography

Hailey | Class of 2017

Western Beaver Jr/Sr High School

I have known Hailey since she was about 9 months old, her mom and I have been best friends since high school. I was so excited that she chose me as her senior portrait photographer. When she said I was the only one she trusted, I knew I had to ask her to be my senior representative for the Class of 2017. We had our session scheduled for weeks, and then we starting getting cold weather with lots of rain, but we were determined to take the pictures.  The rain held off, the images are beautiful, we couldn't be happier, and cannot wait for her summer session.

Holiday Mini's helped to put me in more of a Christmas spirit this year.  My returning clients and new clients came to visit, maintaining and building relationships.  You are all such a very important part of my success.  It was an honor and privilege to photograph you, and I am so glad you all loved this day as much as I did!  Here are some highlights of our Holiday Mini Session Day!

I met this little one my second year in business while I was photographing at a preschool. When mom  returned for another session, adding that the images where some of the best pictures they had, I just had to capture more.  The opportunity to photograph them as they grow is priceless!  I think fall is my favorite time of year! This was my favorite photo!

Lovin' the Farm Life

I recently photographed Ryan, so many milestone markers coming!  Not only did he just have a birthday, but he would be starting Pre-K.  Sometimes it is hard as a photographer to find just the right location to match a client's personality...but what boy doesn't like tractors and hay fields?

We explored the barn, then went to investigate equipment in the back field ...

Ran through the fruit orchard and found this little tree, then back to the path at the field for some hide and go seek as we wrapped up!  We had so much fun!

It was a fantastic session, and I wish this little man all the best with his year packed full of new experiences.  I can't wait to photograph him again next year!

Hope you had a wonderful 4th birthday, Ryan!!

A Wedding Story

Rachel and Brandon Tied the Knot ...

A beautifully intimate wedding ceremony at the gazebo of Irvine Park in Beaver, Pennsylvania on Friday, July, 3rd, 2015. The modern expressions, "tying the knot," "bonds of matrimony" and "hand in marriage" all hail from the ancient traditions of twisting the bride's and groom's clothing together or wrapping their wrists with braided cords, grasses or vines.  A Celtic tradition representing the intertwining of the two individual lives into one.

Let's rewind a moment ...  I was so very nervous to photograph their special day, I never got to meet the Bride or Groom face to face.  After I meet a Bride and Groom I begin to envision different poses, and the ideal settings to capture their unique style.  Rachel and I had only had a few phone consultations in the month leading up up to their "I Do's", but we shared each others expectations, and some pictures that gave me an idea of her style. 

As a photographer, some of the most loved photos are of the groom when he first sees his bride.  She was beautiful,  I wish I had my second shooter just to capture the groom's expression as she walked down the aisle.  I imagine it was a lot like mine, she was simply stunning!

After the ceremony we gathered with friends and family to capture portraits, and specious moments for the couple to enjoy for a life time to come. 

Their best friends at their side, to witness this special time of

Husband and Wife

Mother and Son, Father and Son

The day they made it official, the day they became one!

Congratulations Rachel and Brandon!

May your days be filled with much love and blessings from above.

“Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.”
