When deciding between a studio newborn session or an at-home lifestyle session, there are so many different factors to consider. I have had the joy of photographing sweet newborns and their families at their homes for a couple of years now, and have just recently started using my studio space, Studio Illume, for newborn sessions […]

So many beautiful fall engagement sessions to blog! Kalyn and Phil’s beautiful engagement session was split between time in downtown Lancaster and Lancaster County Park, on the most beautiful autumn night. Phil proposed to Kalyn in the center square of Lancaster City, so it was just fitting to return back to the city and capturing […]

In the midst of the busiest season of the year (hello, fall!) I still love taking time to photograph sessions just for fun, just for me. When I discovered the beautiful Glen Foerd on the Delaware Estate, I knew I wanted to photograph a styled shoot there. While I don’t have time to planned elaborate […]

I love when couple’s dream up an engagement session location that’s special to them (and choose somewhere I haven’t photographed before!). Lauren and Devin have such sweet memories of Havre de Grace, and knew this was where they wanted to take their engagement photos.  We had absolutely PERFECT weather on this beautiful late-summer evening, and […]

Oh my goodness, how do I even started to describe how incredible Lindsey and Mitch’s incredible wedding day was? Right from the very moment I got the inquiry from Lindsey about photographing their wedding, I knew I wanted to be a part of this celebration. When we met up to photograph their engagement session back […]

I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about my first wedding back after having baby Jude. After not having photographed a wedding day for three months, I was scared I would be rusty and that I would spend the day worrying about my baby and how he was managing at home without me. As excited […]

I always love shooting at new (to me!) wedding venues, and the Inn at Leola Village did not disappoint! Erica and Joseph said “I do” and celebrated with their nearest and dearest on a beautifully sunny day in late April, and it was such an honor to photograph these sweet moments for them! Keep scrolling […]

It was so fun and refreshing to do a styled bridal session to flex my creative muscle before heading on maternity leave. The inspiration for this shoot was (of course) romantic goodness, inspired by peach/pink tones and the gardens/landscape of White Chimneys. This event venue in Gap, PA is so stunning, and made the perfect […]

I am using what’s left of these “slower” months to finally show some of my favorite images from my 2016 wedding season! This past year was one of so much growth, and I could not feel more honored to be capturing these moments.  First up… Bekah and Eric’s beautiful wedding at Ironstone Ranch, in Elizabethtown […]

I am *still* on a high from this incredible styled shoot that happened this past spring at Historic Shady Lane. Every time I look through these images, I’m reminded of how far I have come as not only as a photographer, but as an artist and creative. When I started my business a little over […]
