Oh man was it good to get back out there shooting again after some quarantine restrictions have been lifted! Spending the evening with Emma and Matt at Historic Shady Lane was such an amazing way to get back into the groove of photographing again. (Let’s be honest, I was a little worried I forgot what […]

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 […]

I’ve been DYING for some of that gorgeous golden hour spring lighting, and finally we got some for Jennifer and Jeremy’s Lancaster PA engagement session! One of the things that couples tell me all the time is that “we’re awkward in front of the camera.” These two made that claim, but I think we can safely […]

Samantha and Matt’s Brogue PA Engagement Session was the best way to end a wonderful Easter weekend! We figured they were going to be dressed up anyway, so why not?! Also, we got SO lucky that this was the first really warm spring weekend. We could not have asked for better weather with upper 70’s temperatures and a […]

Seriously, so thankful every day for how lucky I am that I get to work with such amazing couples. I loved getting to know Emily and Dan more during their Harrisburg PA engagement session! We started our session off at Fort Hunter, where we walked around and just enjoyed the fall weather and the scenery […]
