Tyler and Quinn had the most perfect wedding day on September 9th, 2023, at the Heritage Barn in Punxsutawney! The forecast the week leading up to the wedding was calling for storms all day. The morning of the wedding as I was drinking my coffee, I heard thunder roll in and we had a huge…

Last Saturday, Nikki and Dawn got married at the beautiful Chateau d’Argy in Brookville, PA! I love white venues because they photograph so bright and airy. While outdoor or barn weddings are the current trend and beautiful for their own reasons, it worked out perfectly to have an indoor venue this day because we got…

Back in August (I know, I’m behind on my blogging!), these two gathered in front of family and friends to promise forever to each other. They found the perfect spot hidden close to home to host both their ceremony and reception. After years of dating and months of planning, Mike and Rita are now husband…

Lexie and Bobby’s reception at Succop Nature Park on July 16, 2022, was extra special – because it was their first anniversary! This venue in Butler, PA, is absolutely gorgeous. The property features a historic mansion and courtyard, which were perfect for cocktail hour. The pavilion was beautifully decorated and set for dinner and dancing.…

I first met Liz and Brian back in August when we shot their engagement session on our property in Punxsutawney. Immediately we realized how much we had in common and knew we were going to be a great fit together! They rocked their engagement session (see it here!) and the rest is history! I love…

Colby and Sylvanna promised their forevers to each other surrounded by nature and loved ones. Their outdoor ceremony at Bilger’s Rocks was simple, sweet, and perfectly them! I knew from the minute I walked into the house where the girls were getting ready that I was going to get along well with this group! Sometimes…

Ben and Amy have the kind of love story everyone wishes they had. Both of their families have a strong Christian faith, which is where their story begins. As just preteens, they met at a church camp and have been growing in love and life together ever since. Their dedication to each other and God…

This couple’s maternity session was so much fun! RaeAnne and I have known each other since elementary school, and I am so excited to have been able to capture this season of their lives for them! I love seeing a mom-to-be embrace her pregnancy body by dressing up and going for the maternity shoot! I…

Every woman in this photo is a Mother. Many of them have given birth. Some of them have adopted. One of them used IVF. Some of them are foster mothers. Some of them are stepmothers. Two of them are pregnant. Many of them have suffered infertility or miscarriages. One of them has suffered infant loss.…

This maternity session was a dream! Cheyenne and Jimmy came back towards their hometown to have their maternity photos taken on our farm in Punxsutawney. I’m so happy that Cheyenne went all out and got these amazing maternity gowns to showcase her beautiful baby bump. Between the light and her natural glow, she just looks…

Mr. Miles has arrived! I had the honor of capturing this sweet couple’s maternity session, and am thrilled that they drove back to Punxsutawney for Miles’s newborn photos in the studio! Miles was so chill for his entire session. He slept like a champ and was so easygoing and content, even when I kept shifting…

Dustin and Karissa are getting married! These two Punxsutawney natives have been engaged for a little while now, but COVID threw a wrench into their plans. The delayed wedding actually works out perfectly for them, though, because both their venue and photographer 😉 are new to the business this year! They say good things come…

Eli and Emily tied the knot at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney on October 16, 2021! Though the day began with rain, the skies cleared up in time for their outdoor ceremony in the woods. They celebrated with dinner and dancing on the covered patio and ended the night with a sparkler send off. Now, I…

Roger and Mandy have access to some awesome wooded trails in Glen Campbell, were they pre-scouted for me and picked out the perfect locations for their family photo session. And Levi just happens to be graduating this year, so we doubled up for some senior photos, as well! I’ll be honest, my background is in…

Ben and Amy were perfect models for their fall engagement shoot!  We flowed through my normal poses so quickly, it gave us time to explore and try out lots of fun poses, as well! These two have been together since high school, which pulls at my heartstrings because my husband and I have, too.  But…

Sara and Derrick have the perfect property in St. Mary’s for a fall photoshoot! I have always taken photos of these two during autumn because they love the colors, so it’s perfect that their maternity photos worked out to be this time of year, too!  I always encourage maternity photos, even when Mama doesn’t feel…

Tom and Shana said “I do” in the sweetest backyard ceremony! Their closest family members came to watch them promise their lives to each other and everyone celebrated afterwards with a toast of champagne (or sparkling juice for the kids 😉 ) I love intimate ceremonies like this! I have this theory that low key…

Mike and Julena tied the knot on September 25, 2021 at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in Dubois, Pennsylvania! I had the privilege of working with these two for their engagement session earlier this year. Julena did a great job of coordinating their outfits way back at the engagement session to match their wedding colors…

I was so excited for Rita and Mike’s engagement session because I knew we’d get to try out some new locations! For family sessions, I have my go-to spots with plenty of room for the kids to run. But for senior photos or engagement photos, we can venture off of the farm for more variety…

Ahhhh this family session was so adorable! Maybe I just love it when family photos bring their fur babies. Or maybe it’s because I I know this family and how sweet they are in real life. But these are definitely some of my favorite family photos to date! Tiffany and Alex are both so easygoing,…

I have so many favorites from Emily and Eli’s engagement session! Their property is just stunning – I’m so glad that Emily suggested we use it for their engagement photos. I wish I had those gorgeous shade trees and open fields to work with everyday! But what really makes these images spectacular is Emily and…

Tish and Ben are some of my favorite people so I absolutely could not wait to shoot these maternity photos! Their baby girl has been long awaited and is already so loved! Kong was super protective of his Mama and baby sister when I arrived, even though he’s met me before. He is going to…

Liz and I have been talking about their engagement shoot for weeks, so we were both bummed when we got rained out for our original date. But the extra week of wait was so worth it for the beautiful weather and sunset glow we were gifted with for their session! We were even able to…

This family photo session went by so quickly! And yet we got so many perfect family photos! I think because the kids warmed up so quickly and felt free to run (the perks of having land just outside of Punxsutawney but with no traffic and tons of space!) we were just able to roll through…

I enjoyed this family photo session so much! Shooting on our property in Punxsutawney is so perfect for family photos because there’s plenty of space for kids to run wild. The two year old twins were so full of energy – just like two year olds should be! I absolutely love the way this family…

I love these family photos! Not only are the Hicks good friends of ours, but their children are absolutely adorable! Their little girl has such a pretty little model face – her daddy is going to be scaring boys away for the sure! And little man is everything a little boy should be – dirt,…

These little sweethearts were so adorable in their red, white, and blue for their 4th of July weekend family photos! I love the hazy shots of these sisters talking to each other. How precious are they?! We even broke out the bubbles and got some great reactions. I literally had to stop myself because I…

Maybe I’m just partial to cowboy hats and boots – but I think these family photos are absolutely perfect! I love to shoot rich, vibrant colors. Ashley coordinated her family’s outfits just perfectly to fit both her style and mine! And of course, the boots and hats just finished off the look! These kiddos were…

When Janie told me her wedding was going to be a small affair at deer camp, I couldn’t wait to see her dream outdoor wedding in real life! Let’s be honest – what pops into your head when you envision a hunting camp in the woods with no running water? But this small cabin wedding…
