For those of us going through a winter storm in the middle of January in northwest Pennsylvania, let’s warm up with a few beach photos from the Pacific Coast. These were taken in August when we were visiting family.

We’re in Sebring, Florida visiting my parents for Christmas - no snow pictures here!

Snow Covered pine cones. I took these photos from the front deck; it overlooks Venango Valley and gave some great color and blurriness - to help focus on the pine cones.

Beautiful Edinboro Lake in the fall!

For an hour this morning, the light changed and moved… My five year old son Truett wanted to capture a few photos as well; he looked outside and said, “Mom! Get a picture of that!” And I told him to capture it himself (ha - parenting at it’s best!).

November is such a beautiful month in northwest Pennsylvania. You’re not sure whether or not it’s going to be snow-covered or the last of the peak colorful leaves season… I love the softness of these images; the lighting is gorgeous.

View from standing in our driveway overlooking the Venango Valley. The sun was hitting the leaves just perfectly, making them glow.

One of my favorite times to shoot is just after the rain…

Engagement Photo overload: Congrats to my cousin Clay and his fiancee Brenda - could the be any cuter? No. The answer is no.

The Campbell family!! Marcie and I grew up together - my favorite memories are of her laughing - a LOT. At everything. She makes me smile and I'm so happy she met Tim and created a beautiful family!!

Some of my favorite people. When you shoot a family session with kids - it should be FUN and unpredictable. It should rain and the kids should not cooperate the whole time. THAT, my friends, is perfection.

My cousin Melisa asked me to take a few portraits of her, as she prepares to release a branding and marketing course. As I was waiting, I captured this:

Wednesday October 17, 2018 - YES - these photos were taken on the same day! Beautiful sunrise photos, and then the skies turned cloudy and it rained most of the morning. By mid-afternoon, these beautiful rainbows swept across the Venango Valley! I was actually annoyed that my husband Dave knocked on my studio door and interrupted me from doing voice overs… but once I saw how huge and amazing the rainbows were, I quickly ran and grabbed my camera to capture it’s beauty. Enjoy!

If I could shoot black & white weddings - and that’s all I delivered to my clients - I would be in heaven. I love the moments and emotion you can feel in the black & whites. Beth & Danny’s wedding - Ocean City, Maryland - Saturday September 15, 2018. Huge thank you to my husband Dave for capturing their day with me.

I spent a lot of time this spring walking these dusty dirt roads. It’s a wonderful time to quiet my spirit and take in the natural beauty and fresh air.

A beautiful warm October morning in Venango and Saegertown, Pennsylvania. The weather is changing over the next few days; it will be interesting to see how the clouds change during the transition into cooler weather!

On September 15, my husband and I traveled to Ocean City, New Jersey to capture Beth & Danny's wedding. We love capturing beautiful moments and always appreciate fun wedding parties.

After the beach wedding and backyard reception at the groom's grandmother's beach home, we wanted to capture a few more photos of the wedding party.

Pexels sends notifications (in beta, only currently available to their Pexels Heros) when a stock image is used by a major blog, news outlet or company. How fun! So here's the latest feature in the IBTimes:

Each frost formation is completely unique; it takes my breath away! I love to look at these up-close and take in the design. A bit of sunlight will melt it away in seconds. Enjoy each moment you have; it will vanish before you know it.

I'm challenging myself to show you more behind the scenes images and video of what we do. Creating images takes time and a lot of effort! But I love it. Thank you for supporting our work by sharing it with your friends! Scroll down to see the behind the scene's video...
