Destination Wedding: Jay&Fina

There is so much for me to write about these two lovely people- I actually first met Fina a few years back at a catalog shoot and didn't meet Jay until February of this year. But we jumped right in when I flew down to Florida for their engagement shoot. Jay and Fina's photos are some of my favorites, we used diverse locations, they are so stylish and bring such life to the photos-makes my job wicked fun! For their wedding, a small group of us flew down to Punta Cana (a slice of paradise) and celebrate their love! Here are a handful for you to see how lovely this day was.

Senior: Emily

Here are a few from this senior session today. This pretty lady has the most magnificent hair and adorable style.

Wedding: Kayla&Andy

Here is a sneak peek of my gorgeous sister-in-law's carnival themed wedding! My new brother-in-law, Andy, just adores Kayla and you can see it when he looks at her. Here are a few favorites and many more soon! Love you both and so happy to be apart of your day!

Wedding: John&Gracie

Yesterday, at Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania, this lovely couple became one. The weather wasn't quite on our side, but through wind, rain and 43° temperatures, we managed to get a few photos of this gorgeous couple! Here are a few to hold you over!

Family: Shoultz

We had a wonderful afternoon in Vermont picking apples. This family is not only adorable but so lively and rambunctious! The youngest, Zach, stole the show-such a cute boy. Enjoy the love and fun!

Portrait: Quinn&Hank

For this session, we decided to do a sunrise shoot on Mount Jo in Lake Placid, New York. I  photographed this lovely couple 3 years ago for their wedding and so we figured it was time for an anniversary shoot! I love photographing these two, they are so sweet, genuine and natural.

Engagement: Allan&Rebecca

These two were a delight to photograph. We hiked deep into the woods, scaled rocks, accidentally ended up waist deep in water, and enjoyed the magnificence of this waterfall- oh and did I mention they did all of this with two dogs in hand? These two are by far my most adventurous couple! I am so so excited for their wedding next month on top of a mountain! A handful more will be up this week.

Kids are a challenge to photograph, so you must always be ready for the unexpected expressions. I so enjoyed my short time with these sweet, little kiddos:)

There is so much to say about this lovely lady... she is beautiful, an amazing dancer, a brilliant and creative mind and above all else, she is a kind and genuine person. Thank you my dear for the privilege of photographing you.
