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.

Rocking Out

My oldest daughter took me to a 3 Doors Down concert at the York Fair last weekend. We had great seats so I brought an 85mm lens on my old Canon Rebel (looked a little less professional as I was afraid of the security screening cameras). Going to rock concerts isn't something I do much of but Susannah has taken me to this this band twice now. We had tons of fun!  Here are a few shots from the show:

Rocky Springs

I  knew this place existed but totally forgot about it until Susannah and her boyfriend wandered around Rocky Springs Park last week. So I had to head over there and check it out. This amusement park was closed in the 1960s. Some of the land was sold to build condos (my mother, and later my aunt lived in them), and the carousel was sold to Dollywood. What's left is a photographer's dream...

Cecelia and Jaime's Wedding

 In January, I shot Jaime and Cecelia's engagement pictures...their long engagement turned into a short one when they decided to get married in May at the Hershey Hotel! It was a lovely intimate ceremony and an honor for me to shoot the pictures.
Although it rained all week, today the rain held off for the ceremony in the formal gardens behind the hotel. Enjoy this little sneak peek of their day.

graduation!

My son graduated college last week--yee haw!

Prom!

 Will and Tina, heading off to Prom. Don't they look fabulous?

Top Chef

Yesterday the girls were at their friend Lila's 6th birthday party held at the Young Chef's Academy. Here are a few shots from the day.
