Hannah [Hershey Senior Portraits]

October 01, 2014/ Ashley

As we strolled around the Hershey Gardens, Hannah and I discovered things we have in common: we both love finding a good, stylish bargain; she’s enrolled in college courses like I was during high school; we both have experience working on the school yearbook. I enjoyed getting to know Hannah’s sunny personality, and she was a natural in front of the camera! Her friends would describe her as ambitious, funny, intelligent, and a trend-setter. She’s passionate about cheerleading, which she’s been involved with since second grade!

Hannah is striving to become a dietician after high school and also dreams of traveling to her ancestors’ home countries including Italy, Ireland, and Poland. No doubt this girl has a bright future ahead!

Sunshine and roses! Doesn't get much prettier than that for senior photos : )

I love that my clients don't think I'm completely crazy when I suggest, "ummm hey, Hannah. How do you feel about standing barefoot in that creek?"

One of my favorites from the evening. Your smile radiates such joy, Hannah!

I love this set of images!

We ended the session at the Hershey Theatre--I'm loving the colors of her dress! Another favorite!

Linn [Lancaster Senior Portraits]

September 24, 2014/ Ashley

Ohhh do I have a treat for y’all tonight! Some sunset goodness! Linn is just an exquisite soul who is tackling her senior year. A determined dreamer, Linn plans to double major in neuroscience and psychology to become an MD in psychiatry. It’s always an honor to photograph siblings of former clients; I photographed senior photos for Linn’s sister several years ago. On top of her sweet personality, Linn has a plethora of talents and hobbies: piano, guitar, show choir, and pole vaulting on the varsity track team.

I'm convinced Linn models in her free time. She has a contagious smile but also has a killer "model face" as you'll see!

Enjoy this session--from a crisp evening when summer welcomed Fall.

Who doesn't love miniature horses making an appearance!? These guys are quite social.

Absolutely stunning, Linn. This is one of my favorites!

ahhh, I love this set as well. This whole property is gorgeous, as you can see.

Good choice, Linn! Sunshine goodness!

Jenn + Adam [Drumore Estates Wedding]

September 22, 2014/ Ashley

Jenn and Adam tied the knot at the elegant Drumore Estates (My second wedding here since August. I could shoot here every weekend. Wow, it’s stunning! With photo-ops at every turn.) They say it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day. In that case, Jenn and Adam will be extra lucky since they experienced a DOWNPOUR. Just moments before the ceremony, a thunderstorm rolled in—forcing the ceremony to be moved indoors to a beautiful room. In front of supportive family and friends, this adorable couple exchanged vows and partied the night away! Special thanks to the lovely Vanessa Shenk for shooting with me.

Enjoy this romantic, estate wedding!

I’m starting you off with what has become my favorite dress shot I’ve ever taken….Simple elegance.

One of my favorites from the day. Timeless.

Rain drops were falling during these next few, but Jenn and Adam were troopers. Thankful they wanted to stick it out!

A sweet moment as Adam teared up watching his exquisite bride walk towards him. Let the reception begin!

Love this capture by Vanessa. First dance, soaking in the fact that they're husband and wife!!

These are no ordinary cupcakes, y'all. These are Lancaster Cupcakes. My newest obsession, and if you're local to the Lancaster area go visit their food truck or downtown location!
