Ryan & Kendra Get Married!!

After a week full of rain, the skies cleared just in time for Ryan & Kendra’s beautiful outdoor wedding at the Canna Country Inn. It was a day full of sunshine, love, tears and lots and lots of dancing.

Ryan & Kendra chose to see each other before the ceremony, so we found a private spot for them to share a few moments together. There were tears…

Time for the ceremony, which took place outside under a canopy of trees that provided the perfect cover from the harsh sunshine.

Baby Cakes

Mariana & Justin are set to welcome their first baby in just a few short weeks. But before they do that they need to pack up their current home and find a new one, as they are moving out of the area just a week after the little one arrives. Just typing that I feel exhausted, but I have no doubt they will pull it off.

After meeting them at their home, so we could get a few pictures with “the big brother”, their dog Rocco, we headed to Harrisburg to do some photos along Front Street. Mariana was such a trooper, we must have walked two miles up and down Front St. and she was in heels. They are the sweetest couple and I had such a great time with them! When I asked Mariana about the vision she had for her maternity session, she said, “I want to make it kind of like an engagement session with a belly!” I love that and I hope I succeeded!

Check out a few of my favorites from my time with Mariana & Justin:

Mariana loves baking, so of course, she whipped up an extremely adorable cupcake for a much cuter version of a “bun in the oven” picture.

Busy Bees

These two always keep me busy when I photograph them. This time we played with bubbles and balloons, drove some tractors, did some gardening for Grandma, which was probably a surprise to her when she got home, played peek-a-boo, climbed a tree, had more fun playing on a toilet than you could possibly imagine, made some wishies, did some heavy lifting, and even found time to give some hugs & kisses to Mommy.

Check out my fun filled morning with Cash & Ryder:

Kaley & Clay are having a baby!

She said they weren’t photogenic. I disagree! I disagree…a lot! This adorable family is expecting a new addition next month, so we met up in a sweet park with lots of ducks and weeping willows to take some maternity photos. Adorable Daisy, who is 2, became very enamored with the ducks, and she got very upset when they would waddle into the water and swim away from her. It was the cutest thing, I think she would have jumped right in after them had Daddy not stopped her.

Here are just a few of my favorites:

Kaley & Clay are from Texas, so of course, she had to rock her cowboy boots!

Kaley & Clay, it was great to meet you! I’ll be sending you positive thoughts for a safe and healthy delivery next month! I hope you enjoy the photos!
