The Carriage House at Rockwood

A Wedding Story I’m excited to share a sneak peek of Courtne and Jon’s Carriage House at Rockwood wedding day! Did you happen to catch their engagement session at Longwood Gardens? What a day! In early March, it was like Summer inside Longwood’s conservatory, and a Winter Wonderland outside. First check out that post and […]

Engagement Session – Brandywine Park

This time of year is so much fun for an engagement session in Delaware. Little green leaves are starting to come out on the trees. The cherry blossoms are everywhere. My favorite blossoming tree is the Kwanzan Cherry. They were actually the inspiration for my logo! A couple of weeks ago we had some really […]

Why an Engagement Session is Important

I hear it often – “mmm we don’t really think we need an engagement session.” It’s an area where I often make a case for why something is more important than couples realize. Part of my job as a professional photographer is to share information and allow clients to make the best decision for their […]

A Snowy Engagement Session

As I type this, it’s sunny and about 60 degrees outside (with a high of 74 today)! Six days ago when I met Courtne and Jon at Longwood Gardens, it was clear that they were going to have a gorgeous snowy engagement session! That’s March in Delaware, right? You just don’t know what you’ll get […]

A Summer Engagement Session

Middletown, Delaware You know that song, ‘Summertime’ (and the Livin’ is Easy)? These hot August days bring that song to mind. I can just hear Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong’s voices belting out the lyrics. When I look at the images from Katie and Mike’s session, I’m also reminded of this song. There are greens […]

A Brandywine Park Engagement Session

Whew! If you know me or any other professional photographer well, you know that the Fall is BUSY season! So many sessions and so little time for blogging them all. I had the pleasure of capturing a Brandywine Park engagement session during the last weekend of October. I really want to get at least a […]

Longwood Gardens Engagement Session

Last weekend on a slightly rainy Sunday, I got to meet Sophia and David for the first time. I typically always meet my clients BEFORE their engagement session, however, these two live out of state which made meeting earlier impossible. Prior to this session, I previously had only enjoyed a phone conversation with Sophia. It […]

An Fall Engagement Session at Scott Arboretum (Swarthmore College)

On Saturday I met up with Ray and Stephanie to shoot their engagement session at the Scott Arboretum. Stephanie found a few options for locations that were said to have great foliage in the Fall, we decided on the arboretum of Swarthmore, and it did not disappoint! What a beautiful campus filled with great spots […]

A Brandywine Creek Engagement Session

Oh man. What a great Brandywine Creek engagement session with Bridgett and Nick. If I haven’t said it before, I love engagement sessions. For one thing, it’s such a good time to get to know your couples. The more comfortable they are with you from the time spent together, the more comfortable they will be […]
