hannah w’s senior portraits // North East, PA senior portrait photography

I was so excited to do Hannah’s senior pictures. I got to head out to North East to shoot these pictures, and it is truly such a gorgeous little place. I love it there! We started out on the main strip and a cool, colorful alley way. It was a perfect night ( a little cold ) but stunningly gorgeous light and skies… and I had the honor of going to a beautiful property full of ponds, grape vines, old apple trees, grass, sunlight… it was amazing. Hannah was a total sport and we had a great time!! Here’s some of my favorites.. I had a really hard time narrowing these down because this girl is soooo cute!!! Check out a few more at flickr.com too!

Toddler Photoshoot in Northeast, PA : Breckon is 2 years old!

Rachel — Tue, 24 May 2011 16:44:28 +0000

I was honored to go and take more photographs of Breckon, who I photographed last year when he was 1. We went to North East to his uncle’s house and got to use an awesome orange vintage truck and some beautiful grape vines and yellow flowers as a backdrop. Can’t beat that! This little guy has so much personality and expressions. And we snuck in some pictures of the family too – so great!!! Enjoy.

ashley’s senior pics : Erie, PA Senior Portrait Photography

Ashley and I had a lot of fun on this cold, windy shoot. Our plan to go to Presque Isle was not quite logical on such a freezing night, but we did it anyway (for a little while). Then we discovered a cool place close by and did some more stuff there… it was so fun. You’d probably never guess she was SHIVERING and we were both yelling!

Once we moved to a more sheltered area, it was a lot more pleasant Here… Ashley is thinking of her future!

Hey model-gorgeous!

You’d think we were on a farm.. but, we were not

Doesn’t this look like the cover for her album?

I couldn’t resist paring her beautiful hair & eyes with this awesome blue wall!

Hey everyone! I was sooo happy to get outside and get to photography Lindsey, Sarah & Katharyn today. S&K flew in from Texas to hang out with their friend Lindsey who’s been living in cold Erie for a few years now. They also surprised her with their long-time friend Darla – more pictures to come with her included. Here’s a few favorite moments from this morning. It was so warm out – now we just need all that foliage to fill in

Way back some lovely models, Kat Ritenour + kids, Amanda Kifer, and Heather Neckers posed for me and each other to get some pretty pics. Thank you to everyone who gave up their time!! Here are a few from the day, and you can see lots more here. There was also an awesome couple, Brooke & Freeland. I’m going to post their pictures in a separate blog right after this!

trash that dress … or is it love?

Rachel — Mon, 04 May 2009 17:00:48 +0000

About 40 years ago, (I kid) me, the Heathers, and Teresa got together to do a bridal dress session. Heather and my sister, Amy, were awesome sports, and endured some unbelievably cold temperatures so we could practice and get some unique images! It’s taken me so long to get to these as I was trying to put my clients stuff first, but finally I’ve beena ble to get to blogging these babies. The full album is here on flickr.

First…the lovely Ame… We took most of these by and on the Comet rollercoaster!

And this was just a fun experiment. I love finding the perfect image that might have been a throwaway, and enhancing it to be retro, old feeling, and have some mystery to it that it previously didn’t.

Second, the wonderful Heather. The first ones were taken by the water slides.

And for these ones, we went inside a storage building where they kept the bumper cars and other dismantled rides, props, and coooool stuff.

And for this one, I combined 3 awesome slide images into a cool presentation. something like this could be created, printed and framed up to be really beautiful on a wall. It could also be a gift for a bride’s mother, or the fiance!
