I met Tyana on a beautiful Sunday morning at Two Mile Run.  I have been SO lucky with my sessions this season.  Almost all have had absolutely perfect weather.

Tyana is such a sweet girl and I had a great time meandering all through the park with her and her mom.  I tell all my seniors  that the beginning of the session is almost always a bit awkward for everyone as we all get warmed up, but TRUST ME, we are going to have FUN!!!!  And we did!!!!

I love Two Mile, there really is such a nice variety of backdrops.  And since I have done quite a few shoots there, I have a pretty good idea of what locations work best at certain times of day.   We were able to get beautiful photos by the lake, in the fields, and in the many grassy areas.

Thanks all – now onto the pictures!!!!

It was such a pleasure meeting you!!!!   Thank you so much!!!!

Until next time!!  XOXO!

Hello there blog!!!  Wow, this is has been a crazy busy few months – but in a very good way.  LOTS of amazing senior sessions!!!!  This is my first year with all 3 girls in school all day.  I thought it would be so easy to get quickly caught up with all my sessions and have time to really start blogging regularly again.  But I am finding my days go SO fast, one minute I am getting them all on the bus, the next minute, they are home again!!!

This session was one that was actually planned MANY months ago when Meagan’s mom contacted me in January!  We chatted off and on during the winter/spring months and finally scheduled Meagan’s session for mid July.  Meagan and her mom decided to do the session at a family’s farm.  It was an absolutely PERFECT location  and a perfect day.   The light was gorgeous, the backdrops were stunning and the session was wonderful!!!  I guess the only slight problem was that the day of the session actually was one of the hottest days this summer.  Luckily, we started the session early in the morning, but we were all quite ready for lots of cold water and some A/C once we were done.

I had a great time.  It was such a pleasure meeting Meagan and her mom.  They were all definitely so much fun to work with!!!  I am so lucky to have such wonderful clients!!!

Onto some pictures!

Thank you all so much!!!  And best of luck Meagan in all your future endeavors!!!

Until next time!  XOXOXO!!!!

Marissa was one of my sweet seniors from early this summer.  We planned her session in and around the Franklin, PA area.  I love shooting in Franklin – so many different options – from the parks and the alleys, to the tree lined streets and French Creek!  We took advantage of it all that afternoon.  Our only snag was we had about 15 minutes of rain right in the middle of the session.  We tried to shoot between raindrops but ended up just taking a break under cover until it slowed down.

But Marissa was a great sport and, in spite of the weather we still got some beautiful photos!!!

It was such a pleasure meeting Marissa and her family!!  Thank you all so much!!  And best of luck in all you do!!!

Until next time!!!  XOXO!

Ryan was a senior from this past winter/spring!   I have worked with Ryan’s family a few times before as I did his older sister’s engagement and wedding photos!  They were such a great group of people and I was so excited for an opportunity to work with them again!

Ryan has a lot of varied interests that he wanted to incorporate into his session – one being snowboarding and other golfing!  Well, since obviously it is hard to incorporate both (well) in one day, we did a two part session – the first in the winter and the second in the spring.

And we were amazingly lucky!

For our winter session, the schools were closed for a snow day.  However, the snow ended earlier that morning and the temps were in the 30′s.  We had fairly warm (for winter) weather AND a fresh blanket of beautiful white show!!!

For our spring session, we met at a local golf course, Wanango.   I did another senior shoot there a couple years ago in the fall and it is a beautiful location.  However, this past spring was extremely WET and we had very few sunny days.  But when I met Ryan on a Saturday morning for our shoot, it was one of the rare and absolutely beautiful spring morning.  Another perfect day!!!!

Ryan has graduated and is now enlisted in the Army National Guard.  Pretty impressive!  Although I am sure his family is missing him quite a bit.

Now – onto the photos!

Thank you all so much!!!  Good luck in all your future endeavors!!!

It was such a pleasure working with you again!!!

I am so excited we are starting another season of senior portraits!  Seniors are one my absolutely favorite type of sessions.   They are so fun and unique.  And it is such an exciting time in their lives – on the verge of adulthood and eager to start chasing their dreams.

I love capturing a senior’s unique personality and interests.   I shoot on-location, and have done shoots all throughout the area (and beyond!).  However, I am also eager to try new locations and ideas.  I am always thrilled when I senior wants to shoot somewhere I never shot before:

Or wants to incorporate one of their favorite hobbies!

Because all seniors are so different, I offer a few different types of senior sessions.

Standard Senior Sessions

This is my most popular session.  The standard session is a 1 – 3 hour on location session.  You can choose a few different locations and multiple outfit changes.   I choose and edit the best images of the session and upload them to a password protected gallery where you can view and share the photos and order your prints and other products.

Standard sessions are just so much fun.  It always takes a little while for the senior to get comfortable being the center of attention and to start feeling less awkward and more like America’s Next Top Model.   By being very generous in the amount of time I spend during the portrait session, I find that once the awkwardness passes, and the senior relaxes, that is when the truly amazing images happen!   And I have often been told, at the end of the session  – “That was SO much fun!!!”.

BFF Senior Session

BFF sessions are, like my standard session, a 1 – 3 hour on-location session that can include a few different locations and multiple outfit changes.  However, A BFF session is a session that you share with, obviously, your BFF!  I have done these sessions with best friends and even a few twins!  And we always have a blast!

Each senior takes turns getting their individual portraits.  I will also take some photos together.  But the main purpose of the BFF session is to allow the seniors to enjoy their senior session with their best friend.  And I find that BFF sessions are just a bit more relaxed!

Each senior gets their own individual, password protected gallery of images.  Since it is a shared session, each senior’s gallery has a few less images to choose from, but I find that, for most, it is still more than enough!

Simple Senior Session

Lastly, I offer a “simple” senior session.   This is a great and economical session for a senior who may just not be interested in a full session.  A simple session is a 30 minute session that must be conducted within the zip code 16301.   But if you are a senior who lives outside the area, you are welcome to travel in!  There are a whole host of location options within this area that I am sure will meet any senior’s needs!

The senior gets an online, password protected gallery, of about 10 – 15 images to choose from.   Just enough to choose your yearbook image and give mom a few portraits to display!

I am so looking forward to meeting all the 2012 seniors!!!!  And please CONTACT ME with any questions or to schedule your senior session!!!!

Until next time!!!!

xoxo!
