Nicole and Jason were absolutely beaming when I met up with them at Peace Valley Park early last week.  I love asking couples about their “origin story”.  Nicole and Jason told me of their meeting at West Chester University and the courtship that followed.  Now, you could think that I ask this just to be […]

Amy and Ted were married at the quaint country chapel at St. Thomas the Apostle where Amy is a teacher.  They celebrated the night away at their family farm up the street.  Ted had amy smiling ear to ear all day.  Enjoy this quick preview of their wedding day at Roostertail Farm!

Lauderdale we were ready for relaxation.  We grabbed our bags from the carousel, picked up our rent-a-car and cruised down the narrow strip of highway that leads to Mile 0.  Patrick and I were visiting Key West, Florida for the first time and we already had […]

Senior year of high school is a great year of growth and discovery.  Many students are applying to college and thinking about what will come next.  I love capturing more than just a “Cap & Gown” picture and showing who each student truly is.  Check out Emily.

In the last year my focus was completely on work.  My heart and soul were poured into working my butt off, learning a ton and really making my dream of becoming a wedding photographer a reality.  I could not have foreseen all of the amazing opportunities that came my way last year, but now as […]
