Stephanie and Dan – Esession

June 28, 2009 – 12:23 am

This past week, I met up with Stephanie and Dan at City Island for their engagement session. We walked around getting to know each other and shooting while we went. It was a nice night for a stroll around the island!

Shaun – Senior Session

June 25, 2009 – 1:24 pm

After having to reschedule several times due to rainy weather, we finally go the the awesome skies that we wanted for Shaun’s senior session. We started at Messiah College, playing around on the soccer field. Then we walked around a bit before heading into the studio for some more.

I love incorporating sports into Senior Sessions. It’s so much fun!

Shaun changed from his sports gear into this awesome orange tshirt.

Doesn’t this look like it could be an ad for Hollister?

Christine and Rob – 06.20.09

June 24, 2009 – 12:47 pm

This past Saturday, I woke up to the sound of rain. Pouring rain. That’s NEVER a good thing on a Saturday in June. June is wedding season. And rain, especially pouring rain, makes a wedding photographer cringe on wedding day. So I vented to my Facebook friends, said some prayers to God, and packed my bright orange poncho. I met up with the girls at Christine’s home while Lindsey headed on over to Rob’s house to hang out with the guys. The rain was off an on all throughout the mid afternoon, through getting ready and even through arrival at the church. But everyone was in good spirits and didn’t let the weather get them down. The ceremony was held at Second City Church which is a beautiful old church in the mid-town district of Harrisburg. The stained glass was just stunning next to all of the original woodwork. Christine and Rob had planned to have all of their guests release white balloons when they left the church. I was bummed because I thought white balloons on a cloudy sky aren’t going to show up very well. Lindsey went outside to wait for our lovely couple to come out of the church while I finished up some things with them inside. I followed them out. I was absolutely shocked to see BRILLIANT blue sky and tons of white balloons. It was beautiful and quite the surprise. And I’m happy to report that we only had one little shower while we were doing pictures with the bridal party at the Capitol and the Pride of the Susquehanna. :) Then it was off to the Sheraton for the reception. This was our first time at the Sheraton and the ballroom was really elegant. Lindsey and I enjoyed watching all of the great dancing by the guests!

Thanks Christina, Rob and families for having us. Below are our favorites of the day. CLICK HERE for your slideshow.

I love this shot of Christine’s dress in her childhood bedroom.

She got a little weepy this first time her dad saw her in her dress.

Christina and Jeff – Esession

June 19, 2009 – 9:15 am

We always seem to get these stretches where everyone chooses to go to the same location for their sessions (whether that be weddings, engagements or portraits). Apparently, we are in one of those stretches with the Capitol. We were there last Saturday for Nicole and James’ wedding portraits and the very next day, I met Christina and Jeff there for their engagement session. I had met Christina before at her consultation but this was my first time meeting Jeff. They are such a cool couple!! They made my job very easy because they were so relaxed with each other. Jeff mentioned that he had this “blinking” problem :) but honestly, I wouldn’t have known it if he didn’t say something. They were both so natural in front of the camera. We are looking forward to their Fall wedding.

It was a VERY bright day so we worked a lot with flair and shadows.

We did leave the Capitol and do some shots on State Street before walking around City Island. Jeff is a HUGE baseball fan. :)
