fall mini sessions ‘09 | pennsylvania family photographer

Whew! 27 sessions over 4 weeks. I was blessed working with such amazing families during one of the most beautiful times of the year. Granted, the scenery is gorgeous, but put once you add in some well-dressed and adorable kids? Ah, it’s a recipe for beautiful portraits!

Here’s a peek; one from each session. (And believe it or not, I’m shooting one more this week, so I’ll just have to add his in later this upcoming week. ;)

i think i’ll title this one “housekeeping” | pennsylvania photographer

Thank you SO SO SO much to all of my clients and new faces that stopped by the studio on Sunday. Each of your kids enters my heart when I’ve worked with them, and it’s always so exciting to see how much they’ve grown and changed, even if it’s been 2 years since I saw them last, or 2 months. It was exciting meeting some new kids and their parents (who I hope to photograph soon), as well, and particularly hearing about new brothers and sisters who are on their way!

The fall & holiday mini sessions will be beginning this weekend, and are completely booked for October, and possibly fully-b0oked for November. I can probably squeeze in one more client for the second week in November, and if the weather stays nice, I may extend the sessions one more week to the 22nd. If you’re interested, please let me know ASAP as I will definitely be closing my November calendar soon (though if you’re pregnant or just had a baby, I’ll always do my best to fit in a belly or a brand new baby! :)

If you’re thinking about a session for early ‘10, I’m going to be debuting a new documentary style session, and will be looking for a few special families to share a half day with you and your kids. Please keep your eyes on the blog for a special offer coming up soon after the fall sessions.

If you are waiting for your proofs, I promise to be in touch soon–things, as usual, have been busy and I am running a few weeks behind with proofing, which was just complicated by my computer deciding that it didn’t want to work quickly any longer. A new computer has arrived (if I could only find wake up and find all that I need installed on it!) and I am hoping to be zipping through sessions much quicker in the next two weeks. I am very much appreciative of your patience and understanding–thank you for sitting tight. :)

And finally, because I can’t post without pictures, I worked with two seniors (one’s a senior at Daniel Boone high school here in Berks County, the other at Cedar Crest High School in Lebanon County). I was a bad blogger trying to keep my mini session and open house info at the top of the blog for a few weeks, so I was waiting to post their sessions until the open house was over. Congrats on your senior years, Sammy & Steven, and best wishes!

shane | reading and berks county senior photographer

Well, I lie a bit–these aren’t actually senior photos as Shane, who just graduated from Exeter, is headed off to his first year of college at Marshall in West Virginia on Tuesday, so we’ve decided to call them “pre-freshman” pictures. :) I knew it was going to be a fun session when the first shot we took (after his mom and sister left) was this:

LOL–he must have thought I’d lost my mind when I asked him to do it. But he was such a great sport, even though I think that I was not able to grab a single serious shot of him–not that it matters with such an infectious smile like his.

Best wishes to you, Shane! Have a safe trip to West Virginia, and good luck with your freshman year!

kirsten class of 2010 | berks and lebanon county senior photographer

I’m literally running out the door in a few minutes to do another session, but I’m so behind in blogging, and had to get up some sneak peeks from this session last week of this gorgeous senior from Cedar Crest High School in Lebanon. I had a blast working with her, and she was such a great sport. Best wishes with your senior year, Kirsten!

Beauties of 2010 | Berks and Lebanon County senior photographer

Up to recently, my business hasn’t centered around working with a ton of teens, so Meghan and Amanda, BFFs since “in utero,” were a nice change of pace from chasing toddlers around a park (as much as I love chasing toddlers around a park :).  Meghan, the blonde, is my niece (well, technically my husband’s cousin’s daughter–but I consider her my niece), and I’ve known her since, well, I could chase her as a toddler around a park. She served as the cutest flower girl ever during my wedding, and I had to pause yesterday during the session and catch my breath: It’s so amazing to see her on the verge of adulthood and the promise of the rest of her life. She’s an amazing athlete, a straight-A student, and as beautiful as she is on the outside, she is even more so on the inside. It will be so bittersweet to see her graduate this year, knowing it means fewer family times we’ll see her, and all the obligations and travel and hectic schedules that I’m sure college will bring her. Her senior year, I’m sure, will be one to treasure for those reasons.
