Hess Family

Kelly and I met through some mutual friends and soon discovered we both were photographers. We had so much to talk about! Our friendship continued to grow as our sons are only 4 months apart and love playing together. They couldn't be more opposite and that is what I love about friendships. Opposites attract. Kelly has wanted me to do family portraits for over a year and finally the time was right for it to happen. The kids did great, well...there may have been a few times where Ella tipped over and did some face plants or ate some unnamed weeds but hey, that's just how life is, right?! Photographing your friends is always extra fun and makes everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. 'Cause, Kelly...it really IS harder being the subject and not the photographer, isn't it? How can you not love this adorable family...

Lehman Family

I've always felt an easy connection to them. Eric's aunt and uncle and cousins drove down from Dillsburg/Mechanicsburg for a family session with me. They think it might have been 10 years since the last time they did anything like this. Always joking, laughing, or singing, they seem to share a special closeness that not all families enjoy. Meet the Lehman's...

Scott & Annie: Engaged

They met two years ago when Scott was in the middle of an internship with Disney's Hollywood Studios Guest Relations and Annie was working in a temporary position at the same park during the busy holiday season. They met on her third day of training and their first date was just a few months later. He took her to an indoor ice sculpting show in Florida and then out for dinner. They fell in love but had to spend 9 months apart, sustaining a long distance relationship. They currently live in NY and are planning a destination wedding in Lancaster at the Cork Factory Hotel next August! It has been an honor and privilege to be a part of their lives. Annie's family is from Missouri and Scott's is from New York so they are all flying/driving in to witness the day these two become one. They wanted to do their engagement portraits in Lancaster so we had fun finding different locations together. Scott & Annie, I am so excited for your wedding next year and I know that God will continue to write your love story page by page in the months to come.
