Jason + Kelsey [The Wedding]

Today I shot Jason and Kelsey’s wedding. I did their E-session back in the fall. It was a gorgeous Lancaster day for a wedding and everyone seemed to be so happy. There were smiles all over the place! I just wanted to share one for now. This was taken by me as Jason and Kelsey were making their exit form the reception. Congratulations guys! I hope you enjoyed your special day!

Monkey on My Back

So I just got to see some of the photos a friend of mine took while we were in Thailand. I have to thank Brenda for this photo. Here I am in LopBuri. A monkey had jumped on my back when I was trying to take a photo of another monkey. Then he started pulling my hair. Gotta love it!

Just Because

Today I was home watching the MD Terps play Cal in the first round of the basketball Tourney. (I am a huge MD Terp fan). One of our cats was hanging out on the couch and I just had to snap his photo. As much as I give my husband earfuls (he likes to go to the bathroom in places he shouldn’t) about Clyde, he can be cute sometimes. Here he is being cute.

Dear Bride and Groom [The E-Session]

This is my first post of many that I plan to post to my blog, in which I will label and call the Dear Client posts. They are meant to inform all booked and potential clients about their upcoming wedding photography experience.

Today I want to discuss the Engagement Session.

Some people may think, why do I need an E-Session? Do I really want one? The E-Session is really such a great tool. The time you spend with your photographer during your engagement session is totally priceless. It offers you an opportunity to get to know your photographer. Understand how they work and get to know their personality. It also allows your photographer to get to know you in the same way. The photographer can then tailor your wedding photography based on your personality. Therefore I totally recommend having an E-session prior to the wedding.

How should I come dressed? The way I shoot Engagement Sessions is in a casual fun way. I like to tailor them based on your personality. If there are places you like to hang out or things you like to do together, these could be great E-session locations. Maybe you love coffee…think about starting at a local coffee shop. Maybe you love specific sports teams…bring some jerseys along to have a few photos taken in them. Think based on what you like and where you like to go. In other words think out of the box. And don’t be afraid to make location suggestions.
