Chain photography studios, otherwise known as "cookie cutter" or mall studios, have a standard set of "poses" for each client. In other words, every client receives similar images, removing the uniqueness from your portrait session. One of the best things about choosing a professional...
For many portrait photographers, the holidays are "the" busy time. Back to back mini sessions for several weekends between October and November, leading up to Christmas. Fifteen minutes to get relaxed, look happy, and pack up. Of course some families prefer a quick family photo together for a...
The sweetest little boy came to play at the West Lawn studio recently and we had such a fun time together! Those little suspenders, the cheeks, that little smile...this tiny guy just melts your heart! Just seven months old, he is loving making new discoveries in this big world, such finding his...
This past holiday season was a little different this year because it was the first time in 12 years that I had a studio large enough to offer family holiday sessions! I didn't have to worry about weather issues, rushed setups...this new home in Berks County, right off Penn Ave in West Lawn, is...
Victor and Samantha had invited me to stand along side them through their engagement and wedding day, so when asked if I would photograph their new little family of three, there's no way I could say no! The new mom and dad instantly fell in love with the idea of a lifestyle newborn session,...
Although Chelsea and Sean's wedding took place nearly two years ago, I've kept in touch with both of them. One morning, I received a message from Chelsea. She explained she had huge news and couldn't wait to share it with me...they were going to become a family of three! The news was pretty...
I first photographed Christine and Ryan when they were guests at her aunt's wedding. Since that day nine years ago, we've met for couples sessions, engagement, multiple weddings (including their own), and extended family sessions. Although they've been in front of my camera countless times, I...
It's been a while since I've shared a Behind the Scenes post! It's a little tricky getting photos together when working solo, but now that Chris has begun assisting at weddings and sessions, I'm able to share a peek of what goes on when others aren't looking 🙂 So here goes, a few technical and...
I met Nancy and Stephen about a year and a half ago, when they reached out to me for Las Vegas wedding photos. I instantly fell in love with them, both as awesome individuals and as an adorable couple. I was thrilled when Nancy reached out to me again, this past summer, so ask about my...
As cliche as it sounds, time really does go by in a blink of an eye. Families have every intention of updating their photos, but then time somehow escapes them, and before they know it, their most recent photos were taken decade (or more) ago! Eager to decorate their homes with more updated...
About 6.5 years ago, Angela reached out to me to schedule an engagement/family photo session. I love that I've been able to watch the kids grow as we meet up every year or two for their updated family photos. It's almost impossible to believe how young the children were when I first met them!...
Even before they said I Do, these two had been dreaming of one day having a little peanut of their own. Fast forward to today, Scott and Tiffany are counting down the days until they meet their little girl, Haidyn, as they get used to their new names: Mom and Dad. Having had waited so long for...
