I’ve been a busy bee lately with blogging lots of sessions. But, today I decided to take a break from that and share with you all some photos and stories from my trip to Ireland back in February! So, I LOVE planning things. Especially planning pretend vacations for all the trips that i’m hoping to one […]

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 […]

Last night I met with a wonderful bride, whose wedding I will be photographing in December of this year. As we talked, one of the topics we discussed were some of our more unpopular wedding opinions. We were total kindred spirits! We shared a lot of the same thoughts about wedding planning, and the obligations […]

Oh my gosh, Devon and Michael’s Ceresville Mansion wedding was to die for!! The bride and groom, the guests, the details, everything about this entire day was just perfection. When I arrived, the girls were getting ready and having the best time. I really think that this is one of the underrated parts of a […]

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 […]

Everything about Samantha and Matt’s Cameron Estate Inn wedding is seriously wedding goals! This was absolutely one of my favorite weddings of the season. It’s so hard to even say that because EVERY wedding I did this year was a total blast. But, this wedding had a few special moments that really stole my heart. […]

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 […]
