Announcing…Lindsey

April 22, 2008 – 12:02 am

I am so pleased to officially announce Lindsey as our newest Associate Photographer with Klose Photography. Lindsey has been with us for awhile now but she’s ready to take an even bigger role at KP. She’ll be working with me at the Milestone on a lot of the back-end/processing tasks. But the most exciting part is that she’ll also be shooting weddings for KP. She will be the primary photographer of our second team.

I asked Lindsey to write a little something for this introduction

“I’m thrilled to become a member of the Klose Photography team. I knew from the first moment I saw Cyndi’s images that we had the same vision. I was born and raised in Colorado where I attended the Art Institute of Colorado and focused my photography portfolio on editorial portraiture. I absolutely believe that every picture has a story to tell and bringing those stories to life is definitely an art form. After graduating from the Art Institute I moved to Pennsylvania and within these past four years I married my best friend and now have a beautiful little boy. Starting my own family has inspired me to learn and tell the stories of other families. What better place to start then by telling the story of a new family at it’s beginning, the wedding.”

Lindsey is currently booking weddings for the remainder of 2008 as well as 2009. Contact the studio if you are interested in more information. And feel free to leave a comment to welcome Lindsey.

Eliza and Madeleine

April 21, 2008 – 9:57 am

Last week, I visited Eliza and Madeleine for a portrait session at their home in Lebanon. I love taking pictures of sisters!! Madeleine is the big sister at 2 and Eliza is 4 months old and so cute. We did a couple of outfit changes as well as a break for a snack. I think we had a great session.

We started with these cute red and white outfits.

Love this one.

Then we switched to these pretty matching pink and white dresses.

Then Eliza changed into her Christening gown and Mom put her down in the family cradle.

I had a great time visiting with the girls. I hope to see them again soon.

Jenna and Matt – 04.12.08

April 16, 2008 – 2:09 pm

Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous spring day. Jenna and Matt totally lucked out. The skies were so blue! It was a little windy and I’ll share a story about that in a bit. We started off our day with hanging out with the girls and guys individually. The girls were on the ball and we had some fantastic time for creative portraits. The guys were a little slow to start but rebounded nicely.

Here are some of the pre-ceremony images:

Jenna.

We stopped at this covered bridge on the way to the ceremony. It was windy.

The glowing bride. Right after this one, a gust of wind blew Jenna’s veil off. Luckily it got caught on the wood of the bridge or it would have ended up in the creek.

The boys.

This is another one of my favorites. Tripp was one of the groomsmen and he was having some pants issues. This is Matt’s mom using our sewing kit to let the hem out of his pants and rehem them.

More with the girls.

Then it was time for the ceremony which went off without a hitch. The ceremony was held at Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg. Jenna was so animated during the ceremony! After formal portraits, Ashley, the junior bridesmaid, requested a jumping shot. How could anyone say no.

I told you the day was beautiful.

One of my favorites of the day. These are the mothers right before they walked down the aisle.

The stunning couple.

A nice detail.

And the jumping shot.

Then it was off to the Gettysburg Hotel for the reception. The cake, by Karen Rodkey, was stunning and there was even a groom’s cake. The guests had a great time, especially when the groom grabbed the microphone and serenaded them with the Humpty Dance.

The hotel is beautiful at night.

The yellow and white cake by Karen Rodkey.

Jenna and Matthew’s first dance.

The rings.

We’re going to start sharing some of the unusual images that we capture during a wedding. Here is one:

And another:

The kids were so cute.

This was after the cake cutting. Jenna and Matt had agreed to not smash. Jenna changed her mind at the last minute and got him. I think she’s in trouble.

She doesn’t look scared.

Jenna’s grandparents have been married an AMAZING 59 years!!!

Thanks to both families for being so welcoming to us. We enjoyed spending the day with you. And Jenna and Matt, have fun on your honeymoon!

Jessica and Kellan – E-session

April 14, 2008 – 1:42 pm

On Friday, I met up with Jessica, Kellan and their dog Duncan for their e-session in Harrisburg. We were praying that the rain would hold off and it did. We started on City Island and walked all over downtown. Jessica had a request to have their picture taken by the Neato Burrito sign, which of course we did. I thought it was such a cool idea.

BTW, if you think THESE pictures are fantastic, just wait until their wedding in May. It sounds AMAZING.

This was one of the first shots. Duncan wasn’t quite sure about me or the camera.
