The Milovancev-Zeug families

This was a spur of the moment session and I think it turned out great. They were headed to a wedding so it was a perfect opportunity for a session where everyone is dressed up, hair done, and suits on. They both were perfect families. The kids were cooperative and they looked gorgeous. Despite the heat, I think everyone had a great time!

WOW...my neice Emma will be 3 soon!

She's a firecracker but we love her anyway. She is so animated in her expressions so it was hard to choose my favorites. I loved so many. I remember the day I held her in the hospital. Gosh....don't blink or it's gone. Happy 3rd Birthday Emma!

Happy 1st Birthday Josiah!

The weather this morning couldn't be more perfect for an outdoor photo shoot with this cutie. I can't believe it's been six months since his last session. Time flies! He had quite the morning exploring all the little stones, wet grass (no likey), and a train even came through. Let's not forget about the cake. He didn't eat it but did a great job smashing it flat as a pancake. The Collins family were headed back home tomorrow to North Carolina. So sad to see them go, but happy I was able to capture this momentous birthday for them.

Michelle and Bob

Michelle is one of those genuinely nice people. I've known her for years, so I am very happy that good things are happening to her. She and the love of her life, Bob, are so adorable together. They are one of those couples you see on the street and say "awww". Well, at least I do anyway. Brandywine Falls was the perfect, romantic spot for their engagement session. No one even noticed that it sprinkled nearly the whole time. We had so much fun. They were the first to try out my new floral bench prop. It worked great in the field. Perfect! Congratulations you lovebirds....I look forward to next September.

*notice the two trees, awesome*

A Mother's Blessing

One of my close friends is having her third baby...very soon...and we celebrated that tonight by celebrating her. Each birth should be celebrated no matter if it's the first, second or third and so on. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and Karrie wears it very well. We all got these awesome Henna tattoo's to commemorate the event. Nikki from "The Artful Cricket" was great, inking us one by one. We had a great time telling birth joys and celebrating life. We wish Karrie a safe and fast delivery and the baby a strong, happy and healthy life.

The Harvey Family

Somehow during this session the weather turned from a pleasant day to an increasingly hot and humid one. We worked through it and managed to get some great portraits. One, is by far, one of my top favorites of all time. Dad was a little reluctant in the beginning but was requesting images by the end....ahhh the sweet smell of defeat. hehe. They are a great family, blessed by this wonderful, sweet addition. It was a joy and honor to capture their memories.

I Love this family portrait!!!!!

The Marks Family

There is something special about a new life, a new beginning. To bring a baby into the world and in those first weeks, get to know them. It's just an amazing time that goes by so quickly. I hope that these first family portraits will be cherished for a lifetime. That's always my goal.
