Old York Road Country Club's In House Photographer...ME!!!

Over a month ago I went to my families country club OYRCC on Tennis Ave. In Maple Glen to discuss helping them update the images on their website!  Joe the General Manager of the clubhouse was more than happy I had stopped by to offer helping out.  Since that meeting I have gone over to shoot two weddings for them!  It's so much fun to get on the golf carts and have the bridal party zipping around on them to the different locations where the photos are taken!

I have since been referred to a couple by Joe who is getting married there in November.  I will be covering their  wedding hoping some fall colors will still be around!  I am so excited to be apart of my parents country club somehow, since I am the black sheep of the family who doesn't golf!

It's a beautiful course as well as venue to hold any special occasions.  So consider going to take a visit when you are looking for a spot to hold your event! 

Finding Love Again! Chris & Linda's Wedding

I was so happy to have been referred to Chris and Linda by another future bride of mine.  I met with them at their home a few months prior to their wedding to discuss their special day. Before I had left they told me they would love to have me document their day!  

These two were lucky enough to have met very quickly after joining e-harmony and the rest was history! They each have a son and a daughter making a beautiful family of 6 after uniting as one!  They were married at St. Matthews Episcopal church in Maple Glen Pa on May 22nd 2010.  The weather was a little iffy that day, and we did experience a few showers during the ceremony! 

All was well once we arrived to Stone Ridge Bed & Breakfast the sun came out and we were able to capture some wonderful photographs on the historic grounds the B&B occupied.  All 70 people who attended the beautiful wedding were in awe with how happy Chris & Linda were on that day!   Their children who were in their bridal party gave some beautiful speeches about how happy they were that their parents had found each other.  Their cake topper was from Chris's parents wedding in the 50's which had sentimental value to Chris and his mother!

Over all this unique venue along with love shared by the Bride and Groom made this day very memorable to me!  I cannot wait to capture this families first new family photo together sometime in the near future!

Barbara's Bridal Shower

         Barbara and her finance Josh had wanted me to shoot their wedding in August, however I was already booked for their date by the time they asked me.  Luckily, we have been lucky to have been able to still work togerher, and I can see a being their photographer into the future!  My friend Jenna is Josh's sister and how this couple heard about me and my work.  It was a great opportunity to be asked to attend her bridal shower on May 22nd in the afternoon before I had a wedding at 3 later that day.

      Barbara has some wonderful family and friends who threw her a wonderful shower at Borghis Restaurant in Chalfont Pa where the theme was desserts!  Each guest made a homemade family dessert to bring to the shower which was going to be rated and prizes awarded to the most tasty.  There was also a cute game which was prepared in which questions Josh answered were asked to Barbara and she had to guess his answers.  The photo here was the answer to the question "What animal would you describe Barbara as?" 

Josh & Barb also have me coming to cover their rehearsal dinner, as well as maternity photos when the time come in the future!    I cannot wait to get to know these two better into the future, as well as document their lives unfolding together as they start a family!

Trish is Fabulous @ 40!

          Trish was approaching that big birthday which can let some women feel over the hill.  Trish decided to take a different route.  She embraced looking as beautiful as she does and wanted to document her beauty!  I introduced this idea to Trish many times as I see her often. I watch her 2 wonderful kids 2-3 times a week.  She was skeptical at first and then realized, she really wanted to do these for herself!
         I came over after the kids were in bed and while her husband was away for the day on a golf trip and set up my studio in her living room.  Trish had many outfits and visions which she wanted captured.  None the less we got stunning images to capture her true beauty no matter what birthday just passed!  Trish travels for work and she was also planning on surprising her husband with some of the photos!  Needless to say her husband was speechless and could only say "WOW"

     We truly had a fun time during our photo shoot, and when we were all said and done, Trish says " Wow that was a lot of fun!"  

Love and Happiness to a T: Courtney & Beth's Engagement Session

Today I had an engagement session like no other!   Beth and Courtney were so candid throughout all their portraits today.  Talk about making my job easy these two had it all going on.   I know most times when photographing a couple if they have it all together or not.   And as you will see throughout out the images they really have it all going on.  Pure Happiness!

They met while playing in a Manayunk softball league and choose the city of Manayunk to start off our session.  I never realized how colorful of a town it was until I was there in the daylight!  All photos taken within two blocks of where we parked.  Our session moved on to the city where we climbed the art museum stairs and got some great shots of the city skyline.   

Every shot was filled with so much laughter and love.  If our getting to know you session was this wonderful I know for a fact their wedding in September in Gettysburg at  is going to be incredible!  Definitely a session I will never forget!  

 Beth was searching online for her wedding photographer and came across my website.  She fell in love with my work and decided to take a chance and email me to check out my rates.  She and Courtney were on a tight budget and almost was not able to afford a photographer. needless to say I was so happy that I was able to document their day for an affordable rate!   Contact me if you are in search of an artistic photographer which anyone can fit into their budget!   Thanks Beth and Courtney it was awesome to have met you and can't wait for September to get here ASAP!

Maturnity Mothers Day

It's  Mothers Day and I was blessed to share a few hours of it with the Brown Family.   With only two months till they welcome Anja thier first little girl into the world, they asked me to come by to document their pregnancy.  At first only Mommy was getting any photos. But after I had insisted that the boys and Dad gets in the photos too, it was clear it was a blessing we did add them in.  All the images show pure happiness on the boys faces about being big brothers to their little sister in a few short weeks.  Mom told me that this was defiantly her hardest pregnancy. We sure did have a great time capturing many candid and mostly timeless images of a mother who can't wait to hold her baby girl in her arms.  Thank you for including me in your Mothers Day and I hope I helped make it one to remember! 

Calista Family Portraits

Dan contacted me a few months after I had come into his office and did 30 employee's head shots.  This time he wanted me to come and document his wife's pregnancy with their 3 year old daughter Caitlin as a mothers day present!   I was more than happy to say I was available.  I met them in their high rise condo in The Phoenix building in the Philadelphia where our photo shoot was taking place.  Their beautiful home was perfect for photographing.   We got started and had more fun for over an hour taking photos in Caitlin's room with her stunning view of the William Penn statue, or upon the roof top with beautiful clouds painted a beautiful backdrop!   Ended the session with some incredibly classic images in Love park.  I am so happy with what we got together today, I wish Dan and Bridget the best of luck welcoming their second child into the world, as well as with their move in a few months.   I hope to be back photographing your family once you welcome you newest edition home!
