Emily: Senior Session

Emily picked her grandfather’s farm as the location for her photos and I think it was the perfect spot. I love the Ralph Lauren feel in these photos. I love how pairing jeans and white tee with aviator sunglasses and cowboy boots can transform a basic look.

Amy and Marco: Overbrook Golf Club

Amy and Marco’s wedding was truly spectacular. Their ceremony took place that the Basilica of Peter and Paul in Philadelphia which I feel is an honor to photograph a wedding in. When you stand inside the Basilica, there is just this overwhelming and magical feeling you get. During the ceremony Amy and Marco’s did a little surprise fist bump before taking their first kiss as husband and wife. Following the ceremony we stopped by a few Philly landmarks before heading over to the Overbrook Golf Club which was so gorgeous. A special thank you to Bekka of Innove Events for helping the day run so smoothly!

Enjoy!

Tech notes: The two black and white ceremony photographs we taken with a 400mm 2.8 lens! If you have ever been inside the Basilica you know how large and grand it is. I am blown away with how incredible the ceremony images are thanks to this lens and my amazing second shooter! It is my new go to lens for the ceremony!

This shoot was very special to me. My little cousin, who is not so little anymore is finally a senior. I can’t believe it!

I also know that there are two people who are with us in spirit that are so proud of you!

Lauren: Senior Session

I loved photographing Lauren! She has such a great sense of style and wouldn’t stop smiling during the entire session! Even when asked to go with more of a serious look, she couldn’t hold it and the her natural smile came through! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the blue ruffle shirt wore she wore in a number of the photos mixed with the chipping paint and rusty background!

Kayla: Senior Session

Kayla totally rocked out her session. The yellow and white camper was a random found prop! I DIED when I saw it! It was the perfect prop for her fun skirt and we added a vintage train case to carryout the look.

Hannah: Senior Session

I really loved Hannah’s personal style so relaxed and casual. Let’s just talk about how awesome her hair is!

Meghan: Senior Session

Meghan is so sweet, happy, and has the cutest giggly personality! We share a common fondness of Pretty Little Liars.

Meghan’s mom also shared with me a new guilty pleasure of mine, the tv show Double Exposure.

Taylor: Senior Session

When Taylor arrived at the first location in the top left photo (Silver shirt with skinny jeans) I had my very own Rachel Zoe, “I DIE” moment. She rocked it out with choice of clothing, accessories and personality!

Emily: Senior Session

I loved working with Emily during her senior portrait session, she might be one of the funniest people I have ever met. I absolutely LOVE her personality.

Virginia and Derek- Lancaster Country Club

My former office assistant Virginia got married a few weeks ago to her amazing fiance, Derek. I could not be happier to be there to share in their wedding day and document it for them.
