Kade - 7 months

Last week, Kade came to visit for his 7 month session.

Kade LOVES his thumb!


And sister Emily tagged along too. Who could resist getting some shots of her as well?

Boudoir

We’ve been doing a lot of boudoir lately. Here are just two “detail” shots from two lovely ladies.

Kelli and Mike - 07.19.08

Last Saturday, just back from vacation, Lindsey and I headed to Carlisle for the wedding of Kelli and Mike. I had the pleasure of doing their engagement session in Annapolis awhile back and quickly learned that Mike HATES having his picture taken. So with that in mind, we headed to the church to meet up with both the guys and the girls. Mike was nervous but smiling which was a really good sign for us! After the ceremony and a fun bridal party shot, we headed to the Holiday Inn West for their reception. I was so blown away by their cake that I had to track down Cindy from About Weddings to tell her how amazing it was!

On to the images…

The kids at this wedding were SO CUTE!!

Kelli was beautiful in her gown.

A cool capture of Mike before the wedding.

I love this shot that Lindsey grabbed during the ceremony.

See…told you.

This is Jayden, Kelli’s nephew, during cocktail hour. He was OUT!!

A couple of cool ring shots.

The AMAZING cake.

Kelli’s sister, Jayme, got a little emotional during the toasts.

One of my favorites of the day.

Thanks Kelli and Mike for putting up with us!!

Casey and John - 07.12.08

Alright everyone. I know you have been waiting for blog posts (trust me, I’ve read all of your emails begging for them). So this is just a little note to let you know that there will be blog posts for the next 5 days so stay tuned.

We’re starting with the lovely wedding of Casey and John two Saturdays ago. Now that we are into the dog days of summer, every wedding is going to be hot. So I think we can just assume that it was a little warm on their day. ;) Allison and I started at Casey’s mom’s house with the girls and Andy hung out at the church with the guys. We all met up for a beautiful ceremony and then it was off the the West Shore Country Club for pictures before going inside. (A very special thanks to Steve for leading us around in the golf carts and holding the bouquet!) Then inside we all went to cool off and enjoy the music of Cruise Control (for our second week in a row!).

Now for the good stuff…

One of my favorites of the day.

John and the boys.

LOVE this shot. John is reading a card from Casey.

The lovely Casey right before the ceremony.

I love Casey’s mom and sister in the front of this shot leaning in to catch a glimpse of the bride coming down the aisle.

Off in the golf carts for some portrait time at the country club.

I couldn’t decide between these next two so you get both.

The cake.

John and his mom.

Bouquet.

Garter.

The lovely couple.

Casey and John, we had the best time getting to know your families. Thank you all for being so gracious to us.

What a great way to end a vacation at the lake.

We’re back in the office tomorrow, wading through all of the emails and voicemails we’ve received. And we have lots of new stuff for the blog so stay tuned for that.

Shoot for Yourself Day #1 - Lindsey

Lindsey and I recently took the day off to shoot for ourselves. Since the office is closed this week, I thought that I would share some of our images with you.

Here are 3 of Lindsey’s favorites from her travels around Philly.

Ashley and Tom - 07.05.08

Saturday was an early day for Lindsey and I. The ceremony of Ashley and Tom was at 11am so we were up and at ‘em earlier than usual. We met up with everyone at St. Catherine’s for any pre-ceremony shots we could get out of the way before it was time for the big event. Ashley was stunning in her dress and even though she got ready in a not so stunning room, we were able to get some nice shots. After formals at the church, we headed north to the Country Club of Harrisburg where the reception was to be held. Tom was gracious enough to drive us around in a golf cart as we scouted out places for pictures. Cruise Control had the dance floor packed and it stayed that way all afternoon.

Ashley’s bouquet was the centerpiece of the day.

We found a little spot of natural light.

The flower girl was THE CALMEST flower girl I had ever seen.

We do love kids at weddings.

The stained glass at St. Catherine’s in AMAZING.

A moment during the ceremony.

The happy couple.

The girls’ bouquets.

The boys.

Some time alone with Ashley and Tom.

This capture just makes me laugh.

Guests moving upstairs into the ballroom.

The cake. The design of the stacked presents paid tribute to the fact that Ashley and Tom got engaged at Christmas.

First dance.

Choreographed father daughter dance (with the addition of Ashley’s brothers).

The rings.

This little girl was so cute.

Ashley’s parents.

Erin Cruise and Cruise Control.

Some dance floor fun.

Thanks Ashley and Tom for allowing us to capture your special day.

Kade - 6 months

For our monthly visit with Kade, we went with the Patriotic theme mixed with a little kittie loving. Kade’s parents rescued THE MOST ADORABLE little kittens, names Blanco and Shadow. Shadow LOVES Kade, even crawling up on his lap during our session. Oh and Kade has 2 teeth! He’s getting so big.

This is Shadow. I so wanted to take him home!

And Blanco, who has a little bit more of an attitude than Shadow.

DISCLAIMER: No kittens were harmed in the making of this photograph. Apparently, Shadow lets Kade do ANYTHING to him and he just doesn’t care.

Our little man…

TEETH!!

Like I said, we got a little Patriotic.

Then back inside for a couple more shots.

Happy 4th of July!!!!

And what better way to celebrate Independence Day than with this little firecracker. ;)

More to come from Kade’s 6 month session next week. For now, ENJOY the weekend!
