Katie – Vogue Session

Once again Miss Katie Shope shines! This week she romances us with this vintage-inspired look. Being a big fan of Marie Antoinette, Katie felt very comfortable wearing a birdcage feathered veil and long black tutu….24 yards of tulle might I add! So comfortable that she said, “But I don’t want to take it off..” As much as I wanted to give it to her, eventually she had to turn over the corset and tutu. Well, at least she’ll always have the photographs. As always Katie, beautifully done. - Andrea

Katie – Beauty Portraits

Meet Katie Shope: Sweet girl-next-door animal lover by day…glitter goddess by night! I’ve known this dark-haired beauty for some time now and recently asked her to be a model for some portfolio shots. Being an art lover herself, she quickly agreed and brought lots of high energy and creativity to the shoot. Unfortunately right before her photographic debut, one of our backdrops unexpectedly came crashing down from the ceiling! Yikes…not something we normally do during a session! Needless to say we were “a little” surprised, but that didn’t stop Katie’s vogue moves, the giggles, glitter bursts, and ultimately some great shots. Check back later in the upcoming weeks for some more photos of Katie. : ) - Andrea

Allison and Matt – Engagement Session in Lancaster

Allison and Matt will be married this May in downtown Lancaster, PA at beautiful St. Mary’s Cathedral with the reception to follow at equally beautifulLime Spring Farm. We met with them this past weekend at the farm to preview the reception location and then to do some engagement photos. While Allison and I did both grow up in the Lancaster area we were a bit unsure of where we were going to do the session. Andrea and I agreed right away that the farm was going to look much, much better once spring hit – deciding we should save it for the wedding photos and that somewhere with a more urban look might be a fun change of pace from the farm. So, still without a clear idea of where we were headed we drove downtown and began looking for spots. Our search started at F&M campus and ended up somewhere near center city (I couldn’t even tell you where exactly). We wondered around for a bit finding some cool spots and in between dodging traffic and cat calls from random passers-by were able to get some really unique shots! - Joel

Brandi – Dance Portraits

Mrs. Brandi Robinson, a.k.a. Ballerina Diva, came over to the studio last night. She is a former bride of ours and very devoted friend. She eagerly agreed to be a test model for a new style of photography/fantasy session (available soon). After all the hair pulling, eye lash enhancements, and costume changes, a diva was born! Actually, we laughed every time I applied the eyeliner to her eyes…and I quote, “It looks like you are coming at my eyes with a scalpel!” Maybe she wasn’t at her most comfortable during the make-up session, but she sure made up for it doing the photo shoot. For it being a practice session, I think we managed to pull out some pretty nice photos. Who knew we would unlock this sultry ballerina during our session! – Andrea

This was a light test shot, but we really liked her look and pose.

Heather and Matt engagement session

Heather and Matt had been trying to coordinate a time with us to do their engagement session since before winter came around. After the leaves fell they were a bit hesitant to do any photos thinking things would look too dead – so, they decided to wait for snow. Many snows came and went and things just never worked out. Finally, resigned to the idea of mediocre winter scenes, they went ahead and scheduled for Monday. Well, to our surprise (and just about everyone else’s in central PA) we got hit with about 7″+ of snow on Sunday night, making for a gorgeous setting for some fun shots.

The Hegedus Family

A great portrait session this morning with the Hegedus family. Adam gave us a call and bought a gift certificate for his wife for Valentine’s Day since family portraits had just gotten put on the back burner for too long. They found us through our church where we had taken some photos of them at the Christmas Unwrapped program dressed up as the nativity scene. They showed up today in regular clothes but hopefully the photographs will be just as memorable.

Heather and Greg Wedding – February 26, 2011

Our first wedding of 2011! We’re not quite sure why Heather and Greg chose February to get married but we knew from the start it would be a challenge. An evening ceremony meant very, very little light for outdoor photos afterward and of course it was COLD!!! But they were very easy going about the unusual circumstances and a dream to work with. We may have had to give Heather a bit of “encouragement” to trudge through the snow in her high heels to get a few shots outside but we think she’ll be glad she did. Overall, it was a great wedding with a great couple. The weather outside didn’t stop them or their guests from having a fantastic time and a great party at the reception!

Gionni and Mateo – Newborn Twin Session

Meet Becky and David’s “miracle babies” Gionni and Mateo. They had us come to their home all the way in Allentown to photograph these two precious boys. We were told from the start how difficult they could be and that they just don’t like to sleep. We were obviously a bit concerned as being asleep is really important for newborn shots. So, we pulled out all our parent/photographer tricks and amazingly they slept soundly through the entire shoot and were still asleep when we left. Becky swears up and down that we must have drugged them because they NEVER sleep like that Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come for one worn out new mommy!
