A Classic Beauty

When I think of women from the 40's and 50's I can't help but picture that classic bombshell with amazing blonde hair, big eyes and lips that any gal would die for. Ashley seriously has all of this and so much more, I had so much fun during her session, she has this contagious, adorable smile that I seriously just could not get enough of!

Her fabulous hair was done by the UH-MAZING Melody (Tangles Salon). Melody has this unbelievable sense of style and ability to look at any girl and instantly transform them.






It is not often that when I retouch photos I do most of them in a sepia tone, but with Ashley's pictures it just felt natural. I hope you enjoy them as much as I loved taking them!

Oh La La . . .

I really do have the best job in the world! I mean seriously, I get to photograph beautiful people and capture amazing moments all day long .... score!

Andrea is a natural beauty, so I naturally thought of her when I came up with the idea for a charity calendar to support breast cancer. The UH-MAZING stylist, Melody made sure her hair was flawless and simply breathtaking!





We started off at my house, stopped a beautiful field then ended on a killer motorcycle!! LOVE it! {Enjoy}

A Little Love Bug . . .

Yesterday I had the most wonderful time with my dear friend Sarah and her precious niece. 18 month old Elle stole my heart, I absolutely adored watching her walk around, dance to Dora, chase her "papi" (is that the spanish word for uncle?), and pop bubbles.

I feel like a broken record sometimes but life truly does go so fast . . . I am so blessed to be able to capture these precious moments for families.

I hope you enjoy her little chubba cheeks and beautiful curls as much as I did!

Every girl is a princess . . .

I had the most wonderful time this afternoon with the most beautiful little girl. Children are so innocent and when we have those moments that we capture that ... its pure magic. Something about a princess dancing in a field makes my heart melt ... if only more people would stop and relish these moments the world would be a more peaceful place.








Enjoy ...

Confidence shines in everything we do . . .

Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to take photos of my Step-Mom, Vetta. The pictures are supposed to be a surprise birthday present for my Dad { lets hope his non-tech savyness keeps him away }. I absolutely adore her and love her for so many reasons ... but yesterday her confidence and exuberance topped the list! 

We started off our morning at my Poppy's house and used his fantastic collection of antique cars as the PERFECT back drop for her vintage themed session. She looked beautiful in everything but I was a big fan of her take on Rosey the Rivetor ... {and might I add we had some good belly laughs}. By the way car parts are much heavier then they appear!

This weekend was also the Reading Air Show that highlights everything wonderful and historic from the WWII era ... could we have been any luckier?!? So we packed up the families, (my boys, husband, nephew and sister) for what seemed to be the longest 45 minute drive  and arrived at the coolest venue EVER!  Aside from the occasional wounded solider just passing by (complete with gory fake blood) it was truly phenomenal and we captured some great moments!







I hope you enjoyed these shots as much as I loved taking them! xoxo

Birds are chirpping & it's bound to be a beautiful day . . .

Good Morning, the house is completely quiet (with two four year olds that is quite amazing), the birds are chirpping, and I have an UH-MAZING day lined up ... SO EXCITED!

I love when I have the opportunity to shoot classic pin up style photos & I get to spend all day with one of my favorite women at some kick'n venues! We're gonna start our day up at my Poppy's where he collects vintage cars and then off to the Reading Air Show to take advantage of all the great props (planes, car, jeeps you name it) that the WWII renacters take there. Can't wait to post them later ...

Also a quick congrats to the winners of our first ever auction, Sara U, Lois B, Jen M, Chris H, Tricia F I can't wait to capture all of your beautiful memories :)

Finally, today is the last day of the spring season for my sons soccer :( Where does the time go?? He is so excited about his big game today, I'm so proud of him and can't wait to watch him play! 

My twin sons, Connor & Ayden
