kids and families, part 2

Can you tell I love to shoot at Longwood Gardens? I met the B family there last weekend--mom, dad and two beautiful girls who loved exploring the gardens. They found us a cool tree to sit in and these became my favorite shots of the session.

Please contact me to book your session at Longwood--dates are limited!

kids and families!

We raced a bit against the impeding weather for the H family shoot at Poole's Forge--the beautiful day got darker and darker, but we made it before the rain started.

Lots of giggling and laughing from a pair of silly boys!

Laurel is six months!

I've enjoyed photographing Laurel since before she was born and I took her mom's maternity photos at Longwood Gardens. We headed back to Longwood last weekend for Laurel's six month session and what a cutie she is!

She loved sitting in the basket!

and super happy during our almost two hour session!

Laurel is just too cute in the sailor hat...

Seniors, take 2: Madi

Madi gets an entire page of her yearbook for senior photos and of course 

she has to feature her cute horse Bailey!

this stable is such a beautiful setting too

Good luck in your senior year, Madi and in your college search!

Seniors, there is still time to book a session this fall and take advantage of the fantastic weather we are having. Equestrians--I am available to travel to your farm, and not just here in central PA Email me for available dates and details.

Seniors, take 1: Nick

Nick was the first of my seniors last weekend..we shot these at his home over the river near York. He's a guitar and volleyball player...I am partial to these guitar shots though! My husband and son play guitar and I *think* we have six guitars and three amps currently in the house...(I could be wrong...there could be more!..)

I wish good luck to Nick in his college career, wherever that takes him!

Grandparents day sessions!

I have a few photos in the newspaper's special Grandparents Day section, in the Sunday News this weekend.

Here's Jayden and his grandma...I met Jayden with his mom on a bitter old 20 degree day for Mother's Day photos, but he didn't shiver or complain one bit that day, and was all smiles. We had an opposite hot morning at a park for his session with his grandma...

Next up was Blanche and her three grandchildren. She has a beautiful property with lots of trees and a little creek.

And then the big extended Martin family!

Covered bridges are fun places to shoot!

day at Bridge Acres Stable

I had a blast at Bridge Acres Stable this weekend..with ten sessions over three days.

My oldest daughter started riding there when she was eight, and we had two horses during our years at BA--Little Bit and Red.

Two weekends ago I got to reconnect with some old friends and meet some of the new riders.

Paige and Max

Kara and Megabux....Susannah learned to ride on Mega...wonder how old he is now? Bet he can still escape from his stall and jump a fence!

Beth and I had lessons together quite a few years ago...now she owns this thoroughbred,

 Perfect Gentleman

Here's Brooke and Macho

And Ashley and Jackson...who at four was totally not phased by us climbing around this old fireplace

in the back field!

Katie and Frosty...love a litte grey pony!

Horses=Love. That's what it's all about. Maddy and Abner

Charlotte an Catie

Morgan and Rudy..aww! so cute!

Gorgeous!

Marilyn and Ripley..best of friends

baby Ian

This little guy and future farmer came to my house for his one month old photo session

We got in a few outdoor shots before the rain...

 then we had to head indoors...

He was awake and happy the entire session!

isn't he just precious? 

contest winner

Last month I ran a little contest on Facebook to see who could refer the most friends to like my page. Unfortunately, shortly into the contest I realized Facebook had some rules that prohibit contests to gain fans. Although many many many pages still practice this, I decided to be safe I would end the contest, but still honor the person who brought the most "likes" to my page!

Caryl chose to have her four children photographed in Lititz, PA. They were troopers in the heat and we had a great time playing on the train, the railroad tracks, and in the creek.

Caryl's prize package included the one-hour session plus prints--a value of $100! Stay tuned here on the blog for the next contest.
