THE JOURNAL

  Last Sunday I returned once again to Longwood Gardens for an engagement session. This time I was able to spend the afternoon with Erin and Quinn and get to know them better before their wedding day this summer. These two are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met. Throughout the entire session […]

Last year, on a very cold snowy day, I met Kacie and Josh at the Wedding Show Behind the Bash which was held at Linwood Estate in Carlisle. I loved meeting them on that day and was very happy and surprised when Kacie contacted me to schedule a consultation! Josh had just stared a new […]

“How can I repay the Lord for all the great good done for me?” Psalm 116:12  I sit here while I watch my baby boy sleep and with my heart filled with gratitude I try to write some words to best describe 2018, the best year of my life so far. Usually words come easy […]

I met Ashley and Brandon a few weeks ago during a bridal show. We almost missed each other, but when it’s meant to be it’s meant to be. We had an instant connection, and since that day, every email we exchange, feels like I’m talking to a friend. We met again this week for their […]

Megan and Anthony’s wedding at Historical Acres of Hershey this past weekend was a memorable one. It was my last wedding of the year after taking my business full time.   It was raining and dark outside all-day-long but it was a beautiful celebration of love, family and faith. Megan and Anthony met while in college […]

How do I even start? A few months ago I received an email from Mary Elizabeth’s mom, Lori, about scheduling a high school senior portrait session for her daughter. Every year I like to give back by donating a session to Lancaster Catholic High School to support the school most of my husband’s family graduated […]
