Turning One! Lifestyle Family Portraits in Mechanicsburg, PA

Photographing families at their homes is what I love!  Including the first baby (Lucy the dog) is of course a given!  I feel so lucky that clients contact me as their families grow and change to continue to document them.  This first photo is the first time I met their littlest human baby.  How much she has grown!  You can see a few of her 1st birthday photos below.  

West Shore Country Club Wedding - Kate and Don

I just discovered my blog had some technical errors that caused missing and error laden posts.  :/  I'm now trying to play catch-up and update some old posts and add back in missing posts.  It is definitely time consuming.  However, there is nothing like seeing some happy wedding images (again) to fix any gray mood though, right? 

I had an absolutely blast at this intimate wedding at the West Shore Country Club in Camp Hill.  I love photographing weddings there.  The staff always provides amazing service.  Despite the rain and thunderstorm that rolled in, Kate and Don were total troopers and we made it outside during a break from the showers.  I also loved that they did a quick first look and most of their family photographs before the ceremony.

Margi & Chad's Family Farm Wedding - Apple Orchard Wedding

What can I say, I love an outdoor wedding on the family farm that includes the bride and groom's two dogs and a bunch of apples!  It may have been freezing cold, but that definitely didn't cool down the celebration.  Margi and Chad were used to this weather (they flew in from WY); a warm flannel was all that was needed.   

On the Family Farm

Family, dogs, grandparents, chickens. . .oh my!  This family has added two humans since I last photographed them. ;)  What a special treat that the grandparents were visiting!
