Kirk's Debut Photo Shoot

IMG_9902.jpg

Meet Kirk. He's tiny, loud, funny and only two months new to the world.

He's also pretty cute. His mom gave me a heads up that he was a little fussy the morning of the shoot, but like a summer storm, there are always beautiful moments and photo opportunities before and after the rain hits.

Kirk did not disappoint. He laughed, he cried, he smiled, he fell asleep, he made unreasonable demands and then he did it all again. While that may sound a little stressful, we structured the shoot with plenty of time for Kirk to cycle through his different moods while getting some great candid shots of his parents cuddling and soothing him.

The next part of the shoot was at Brandon Park. We were lucky to have a beautiful, warm, summer-like day to be outside. Kirk, already an outdoors man, was properly equipped with his pacifier and blanket, but a little put-off that he forgot his shoes.

Despite that, we all had a fun day with some great pics to show for it! But as always, you don't have to take my word for it, see some for yourself below!

Missy and Paul Winter Maternity Shoot

Missy and Paul scheduled their maternity photo shoot with me on New Year's weekend. Honestly, I was hoping for some snow on the ground to make a winter photo shoot a little less dreary and a lot more dreamy. Boy, did I get my wish and then some.

On New Year's weekend, we received a couple inches of snow and a blast of Arctic air that made even the thought of going outside painful. But we couldn't let the snow go to waste, after all, winter wonderland photo shoots are too rare and beautiful to pass up.

Thus was my argument to Missy and Paul when the forecast included a near-zero degree windchill. I orchestrated the shoot to make them as comfortable as possible by having them wear their coats and winter gear, keeping the car running and heated nearby, and working quickly and efficiently with my shot list to make sure we kept the shoot to under an hour.

All in all, we had a great time and made it something of an adventure complete with treats and libations afterwards! Check out some of their photos below and keep warm out there :)

Photo Shoot with Stephanie in Downtown Lancaster

Last fall, I photographed Stephanie in the downtown Lancaster area. Stephanie is an accomplished violin player in the local arts community in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She is also a member of the musical duo, Steel and Bow. You can read more about Steel and Bow here.

Stephanie wanted to take some head shots and some more creative shots around the city. We discussed locations and wardrobe before meeting up to near Fulton Theatre to begin the shoot and just had a blast!
