Umar/Cumberland Valley High-Full Senior Session

On Monday, we did Umar’s full senior session. You may remember his earlier rep session from a month ago. We walked around City Island and downtown Harrisburg and found great doors, alleys and parking garages to shoot in! Then after our outdoor shoot, we headed to the studio for more pictures and the necessary yearbook shot. Of course, I gave Umar the standard headshot but had to have fun too, hence the black & white shot I deem the Wheatie’s box/Nike shot. Here’s only a handful of many images. Oh and to get that stairway shot, a lens was sacrificed:(

Back From the Beach/Part 1

Just returned from a mini vacation to one of my Favorite beaches with my Husband. We stayed at a wonderful B&B that was said to be haunted (actually the exact floor that we stayed on). Being a Ghost fanatic, I tried in vain to witness and capture a spirit on “film” but not one was in residence at the time of our stay:(  The weather was hot and perfect for the beach and I am a nice shade of mocha because of it! I love the serenity that the beach brings me or maybe it was because our kids were with their grandparents for a week? Anyway, here are some postcard images that I brought back sans ghostly orbs!

Misty & Harold/Boiling Springs-Harrisburg Maternity Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful baby belly this past Saturday. This is going to be the first child for Misty and Harold and they are beyond excited. They all ready know they are having a boy and bought some cool blue sneakers for him! Since the rain held out, we traipsed through Boiling Springs and then up to the studio for a variety of images. Here are a few sneak peeks. Can’t wait to photograph Baby W in a few weeks:)

Kate & Matt/Newville Wedding Photographer

Last Saturday I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Kate and Matt at a lovely residence in Newville. With barely any shade, the heat showed no mercy but couldn’t wilt the happiness of the day. Kate and Matt are outdoors people and this wedding reflected them perfectly from barefeet to the venue to the canoe that was a gift from friends and relatives. By the way, I have to share what was written on the guest sign in picture:

Marriage is Like Canoeing

You Have to:

-Communicate

-Work Together

-Listen to each other

-Know when to Stop

-Glide past the rocks(obstacles)

-Embrace the rapids and work through them together

-Stop to enjoy your surroundings

And always GO WITH THE FLOW!

Great Analogy isn’t it? Here’s a few images from their Weddingfest!

Each of the bridesmaids, including the flowergirl, wore silk sarongs from The Dancing Skirt that Kate expertly tied herself. She could do it with her eyes closed!

Isn’t this the coolest Bible cover.

So sweet!

Had to make good use of one of the oars…

Umar/Cumberland Valley High/2011 senior model rep

I had the pleasure of photographing Umar’s rep session yesterday. We really didn’t think the weather was going to cooperate but it turned out to be beautiful, although windy, for his shoot. Thankfully, we didn’t have to worry about his hair blowing in his face, mine was a different story! Here are a few sneak peek’s from the session…
