Should I have my photos taken at sunrise or sunset?

The number one question though I’m always asked as a photographer is “Should I have my photos taken at sunrise or sunset?” You can get your photos taken at any time of day BUT certain times of day are definitely better for photos. If you have the right photographer though, one that can handle the […]

Should I have my photos taken at Sunrise or Sunset?

Ethan & Carly. Carly & Ethan. These two are making my dreams come true. Their June wedding at Excelsior in Lancaster, PA can’t come soon enough. But I was just a s much looking forward to their engagement session as I am their wedding. I met Carly and her mom last winter. We had plans […]

A warm spring engagement session in Downtown Lancaster, PA

Miles + Lea embody what I love so much about my couples. There is nothing they need more than one another. I love that they brought this simple, laid back style to their session because whether or not they realized it then, it allowed their interaction, their reactions, to really be the center highlight. As […]

A laid back engagement session trek around Greenwich Village & West Village in New York City, New York

I’ve always loved the beach. It’s been this place of calm and beauty for me but now that I’ve stepped onto the beach from a photographer’s perspective I have a whole new love and appreciation. And I couldn’t be more thankful for Zach + Miranda to help me realize that. Miranda and I went to […]

It’s easy to skip over the bits that make us feel vulnerable and tell ourselves that the only important photos are the ones on your actual wedding day. Well I’m here to tell you that […]

Why do I need Engagement Photos and what the heck do I wear?

I’ve been looking to photographing on top of a parking garage for quite some time now. I don’t know what it is that makes it so attractive to me. Maybe it’s the open space, the simple lines? Thankfully Nate & Shelby were down for the adventure and helped make my dreams come true. I knew that […]

Foggy Summer Sunrise Couples Session on Downtown Lancaster Parking Garage Rooftop in Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I have been dreaming of blustery and windy shoot and it finally came to life thanks to Katie and Jeremy! We didn’t plan for it to happen this way but the week dealt us 20 to 40 miles per hour winds so we rolled with it. Katie and Jeremy first met at Millersville University where […]

Windy and Wintery Couples Session at Chickies Rock County Park in Columbia, Pennsylvania

This engagement session had me squealing like a little piglet the entire time because these two are just SO.DARN.CUTE! I first met Amber over four years ago (wow, how time flies!) as a regular Zumba student during the classes I taught while a student myself Millersville University. It was an extremely rare case that Amber […]
