Can we talk for a second about how adorable Cherie Anne’s Courtyard Cafe in York PA is?! I saw this little gem on an Instagram post and IMMEDIATELY had to go visit there! The owner is absolutely lovely, and was very accommodating when I asked her if she would be OK with a photographer using her space. […]

How great is McPherson’s Tree Farm for a December engagement?! I knew when Emily suggested a tree farm for their engagement session that it would be the perfect spot! They had both just finished finals for their fall semester, so their engagement session was a great way to celebrate a break and the upcoming holidays. […]

Seriously, how dang cute are Lilly and Brett?! We headed down right after Christmas to Jerusalem Mills for their engagement session. I’m just over here swooning over how adorable these two are together. We managed to get snow on the ground for our photos, but we actually got lucky and caught a pretty warm day […]

I had the pleasure of meeting Danielys and Jesse on a very brisk fall morning for their engagement session at Chickie’s Rock. As I pulled up, I was totally stressin’ because I had intentions of meeting them at the park/day use area, not the hiking trail! Well, i’m terrible at directions and couldn’t find it!! […]

So many amazing fall sessions this year, and Janna and Jeremy’s Fort Hunter engagement session was no exception. Plus, they brought along their dog Brutus which made it extra fantastic. Couples, please bring your animals to your engagement sessions so I can snuggle and love on them! I had never been to Fort Hunter before […]

I love getting to explore new locations for photos. So, when Victoria suggested a Cylburn Arboretum engagement session, I immediately said yes! I had heard of this location before but had never been there myself. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We started off our session slowly exploring the property and taking in […]

I am not a morning person. But, you bet your butt i’m willing to drag myself out of my nice comfy bed when I get to photograph a beautiful Gettysburg sunrise engagement session! Fall is my absolute busiest time of year, because those colors just can’t be rivaled. Nicole knew for sure she wanted to […]

Sometimes, the most amazing clients just fall into your lap unexpectedly. That’s how I ended up meeting Devon and Michael for their Frederick MD engagement session! These guys actually had hired and were working with another photographer for their October wedding, but unfortunately that didn’t work out. Their loss was my gain, because these two […]

Ya’ll, lemme tell you.. it’s been a HOT summer. But, getting to spend time with awesome couples like these two makes being out in the heat not so bad! Joy and Kevin were the sweetest couple, and I loved getting to know them as we explored downtown for their Ellicott City engagement session! The area […]

When we were scheduling Bill and Tina’s Naval Academy engagement session, we hit a few bumps in the road. Weather was not cooperative with us at ALL, and poor Tina got pink eye just days before our session! But when the time finally came, the fates aligned, and we had a gorgeous sunny evening. Plus, Tina […]
