On Friday, August 6th, 2021 I had the honor of capturing Lauryn & Deniz’s Wedding at the American Swedish Historical Museum in Philadelphia. It was a gorgeous summer evening spent enjoying the warm breeze, ambiance of the live band, and of course witnessing the marriage of two beautiful people uniting their lives. Lauryn and Deniz […]
On June 26th, I had the opportunity to capture Ashley & Phil’s wedding day at Shepherd Hills Golf Club in Wescosville, PA! This was a unique situation for me because I have worked with Ashley at the hospital. So I knew her before she met Phil. Also, it has been so cool to see glimpses […]
I met up with Dani & Brett at the Parque at Ridley Creek for their engagement session. Dani & Brett found me on the knot, and reached to me through my website, we had a little zoom call, and they booked with me for their wedding next July at Paxon Hollow Country Club. We chatted and […]
Not going to lie, Trexler Nature Preserve is one of my FAVORITE places to shoot at. You may already know this from previous shoots I’ve done there. I think it is gorgeous with the views of the valley and the vast differences in greenery. Something that can be tricky about being a photographer in Pennsylvania […]
An engagement is a short special time to work and grow towards marriage. This is by far one of my favorite quotes on marriage by Timothy Keller in his book, the Meaning of Marriage.

I have a confession… I am obsessed with plants. It’s okay though it is an issue that I’ve decided to live with. It’s a trend but more than that it is a way of life. I can attest to the saying that, “plants make people happy.” It’s a simple truth and I am not mad […]
Heidee and Cody got married on October 31st, 2020 at Harmony Gardens in North-East Pennsylvania. This post is a bit of a special one for me. I work in an Emergency Department in Allentown and Heidee and Cody also work there as well. They started dating before or soon after I started working there while […]
So apparently I haven’t posted a blog post since October… Oops. What can I say, I am very busy! Between working full-time as a nurse in an ER, getting my undergrad, running a business and a home, I’m a little stretched. All good things and I love each outlet don’t get me wrong. It’s just […]
I promise to one day not post about the magic of golden hour with golden sunflower however, today is not that day! Can we talk about this gorgeous field for a minute, let me introduce you to Second Mountain Sunflowers. I stumbled upon this magical place by a facebook friend posting a picture and tagging […]
Well, I have been absolutely dying to take pictures of things other than myself (self-portraits) and my plants. Y’all it’s been a hot minute since I was able to take pictures of actual people so when I say it made my heart happy, that’s an understatement! I’m sure if you’ve been around for awhile you’ve […]
