Rohrer Family

What a great bunch! I was greeted at the front door by little Isaiah and he never stopped chattering with me the whole night. Amanda really wanted to capture her family in their own environment where they spend a lot of their time together. Out in the back yard, they have a HUGE vegetable and flower garden. Potatoes, tomatoes, corn, peas, beans, peppers, watermelon...you get the picture. It was amazing! The kids were eating tomatoes and peppers like apples and I just couldn't get over it. It's very obvious that these guys love each other deeply and it was a true joy to spend some time getting to know them. Here they are...

Heinly Family

I met these four last year when I did Carl's senior portraits and I have greatly enjoyed our interactions. We began the session in their back yard. Everything seemed normal until I saw out of the corner of my eye, something moving on the porch. I went over for a closer look.

Regina: "What are those things?!"
Carl: "Voles."
Regina: "Ok, tell me why you have them on your porch in an old fish aquarium?"
Carl: "We are catching them in the back yard and making pets out of them. Mom said we can't bring them in the house, so this was the next best option."
Regina: "Well, how many are in there?"
Carl: "Six."

YIKES! I was speechless. Barb is one brave woman to let those critters on her back porch. But she shared with me that these little guys are mild compared to some other ones that her boys "raised" growing up. We finished up the session at a nearby one lane stone bridge and managed not to get hit although Gary was directing traffic pretty steadily at one point. Thanks for a great night of laughter. You are all so much fun and I appreciate your willingness to be stretched. I'm guessing that you probably won't ever forget your experience with me.

Referral Bonuses!

Everyone loves a reward for their hard work. I know the feeling. Last year I offered several different rewards to my clients who were helping me to book more weddings. It was a huge hit and so I've decided to do it again this year. It's because of my satisfied and amazing clients that I get to travel outside of Lancaster County, even out of state sometimes, to photograph weddings. When we work together, the opportunities are endless! So if you know of anyone that you could introduce me to, send them my way and tell them about your experience working with me on your wedding day and the images you received. I promise, you'll be excited when you hear about your gift options!

Jade: Senior Portraits

The first senior of the season...oh how I love these sessions! Jade met me when I did her family's portraits in the past and wanted to have me take her senior pictures. She just got back from a 7-week missions outreach in Ohio and was eager to share with me all that she experienced. Her heart is drawn to urban kids and she hopes to go to college for social work next fall. I know she'll make a great camp counselor too. This year she is a senior at Manheim Central High School and is a member of the girls volleyball team. Jade, your smile is such a great picture of the overflow of love and joy in your heart. You will change many children's lives because God has filled your heart with a passion to love those in need of love. Blessings on you as you begin your senior year of high school.
