I promised more photos, so here we are! Kirsten put so much thought into her wedding and it truly turned into the most wonderful day. Set in the front yard of her family's home in Fredericksburg VA, the day was filled with emotion, love and some really good times.

For Kirsten and Dillon's wedding in Fredericksburg VA, this could not have been truer. Set in Kirsten's family backyard, she had all the help she could get to make their day perfect. From her uncle prepping all the pulled pork to her brother mowing the lawn the day of, it was definitely a family affair. 

My parents. Two people who met at the age of 16 and have been together ever since. I always admired their story but never really felt like it could be my own since, well, I still thought I was too young to be married at the age of 20 as when they were. If you need an example of two people who stick by each other no matter what, these are they. I know that I have a personality that leans toward loyalty and dedication, but I think I got some of that from my parents.

Moving here to Philadelphia wasn't the easiest thing. Yes, it was an adventure to move away from family and step into the unknown as a couple. The reality of it all just sunk in when we realized that we hardly knew anyone and that we didn't have a close church family to see each week. But God is awesome. He found us a church where we could make many new friends. One friendship that because really dear to me and will always work hard to maintain, is with Emily.

I could not wait to do this session, you guys. After seeing my nephew for the first time in CO this past February, I wanted to go back to be with family again. Not only did I want to capture my brother and sis-in-law again with this little squishy boy that I love to the moon and back, I wanted them to have good pictures that they could keep. We headed into the mountains of Boulder and were able to capture some really beautiful images during golden hour.

It is so fun to be able to photograph families more than once. The Rutt family I had the opportunity to photograph before their littlest was born. Now she is here! Such a beautiful family. We roamed around this wonderful park in Wyomissing, PA with a creek and a few fields.

A few Fridays ago I traveled down to Cape May in New Jersey to photograph an intimate wedding of a friend. Both Christa Deana and Zichari are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet and it wasn't hard to capture so many smiles from them on their day. 

I have known this family for quite some time and I am so grateful to call them friends. Nick and Guadalupe are those people that you want to keep around because they are so warm, giving, and energetic about ministry. To have the opportunity to photograph them as well as hang out at George Hill Orchards in Lancaster, MA, was such a treat! And their girls are so sweet.

Every once in a while I get to photograph showers for brides and mothers to be. On this particularly overcast day at the Chocksett Inn in Sterling, MA, I had the pleasure of photographing a shower for mother and her baby girl.

You guys, going through these photos and figuring out what I wanted to share, made me realize how important it is to have photos taken of the ones we love and to be able to treasure them. This family right here came to Philadelphia just a little bit before we moved here ourselves and now are moving on, 2 years later, to the paradise island of Honolulu.

Now Jay and Suellen have been married for 5 years and their is love stronger than ever. We met at Moore State Park in Paxton, MA and had a lovely time capturing memories.

Liam is one of my favorite little guys. His mom and dad met with me over a year ago to get pictures together while awaiting his arrival. Now we have a little guy that is running around and being a charmer with his little teethy grin. When I photograph littles I like to ensure that they just act the way they are and follow them around. My little friend made me run! Without a doubt these portray his little personality and childlike spirit.
