My Class of 2014!!
So I had my 20th Highschool reunion about 8 months ago. TWENTY YEARS since I was a Senior in Highschool!! In some ways, that doesn't seem possible, and in others, it really does feel like a lifetime ago. But one thing I do remember very clearly is the mixed bag of emotions I felt as graduation approached. Excitement. Nervousness. Bittersweetness. Relief. There's a lot going on when you're on the cusp of a big transition in your life. I think that may be one of the reasons I LOVE doing Senior Portraits so very much. These kids are brimming with all the eagerness of that transitional time...they are creative, fun, and excited... and it shows! Below is my "Class of 2014." 13 amazing Seniors that I was honored to be able to photograph at this pivotal moment in their lives. (It was really hard only picking 3 images of each, because they are such unique, awesome kids...but I restrained myself!) Enjoy!

CONGRATULATIONS Class of 2014!! I can't wait to see the places you go!
James & Deborah - MARRIED!!I had never photographed a March Wedding before... and I was nervous! Was the weather going to be "lion-ish" or "lamb-ish??" And with the winter we had, it seemed unlikely to see a "lamb" in the forecast. But the Lord was gracious to James and Deborah (and to me), for on March 15th, the Arrick and Rentschler families and many friends gathered on a BEAUTIFUL, 50+ degree, sun-filled day to witness the uniting of two hearts in matrimony. A fairly large wedding party and LOTS of family gave me many opportunities to capture the love between all the people involved in James and Deborah's big day. Another standout of this day (one that I truly loved) was James and Deborah's "First Look..." the moment they chose to privately see each other for the first time before the ceremony. So many memorable moments... Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Rentschler!!
Camryn Turns ONE!!
Camryn Turns ONE!!
I have three children of my own, and as a mother, I know I have a tendancy to be biased and think that my kids are just the cutest children ever to grace the planet… but this little munchkin is BEYOND ADORABLE!!! Seriously THE cutest!! I began photographing Miss Camryn when she was 2 weeks old and have had the honor of watching her grow over this year. She is a super expressive, rosy cheeked little cherub of a baby and I have LOVED every session with her! She's my 1st official "Baby Planner" to reach her 1st birthday and I am thrilled to share her session with you.
Looking forward to watching you grow over the next year and the years to come Camryn!
A quick look at Camryn's 1st year...

Carissa - Senior PortraitsLast Saturday I had the great joy of hanging out with the lovely Carissa Heine. She is a Senior at Veritas Academy and it was really fun to get to know her a little better and capture some beautiful images of her for her Senior Portraits! I have to say that doing Senior Portraits is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to do! Those of you who are my age (ahem... my TWENTY year highschool reunion in in just a few weeks...) will remember that our Senior pictures were nothing like what the kids do today. Who recalls a nice hand tucked under the chin or the super-suave jacket tossed over the shoulder??? (yuck!) Anyway - these kids are truly wanting images that reflect who they are and what they love...and I LOVE that! Carissa loves nutrition and really good food (she plans on studying nutrition in college!), and she is an extremely accomplished pianist. Therefore we thought a trip downtown to Central Market might just be the ticket. And since Lancaster is still doing the Keys for City program (where they placed several really cool pianos around the city for anyone to play & enjoy)...we got to combine both her loves into one amazing session! Here is a sampling of what we captured during our time together... ENJOY!
Too Gorgeous!!
I loved getting to be "a fly on the wall" and capturing Carissa as she wandered through Central Market!
Keys for the City!! Such a fun idea and we made the most of it with this great old upright piano!
Thank you SO much Carissa!! You are amazing! :)
Gettin' my game on!I think of my self primarily as a "lifestyle" photographer... capturing families, precious babies and kiddos, senior portraits and weddings!! However, over the last couple of years, I've had the chance to photograph several fantastic sporting events, and I have discovered that I LOVE it!! There is something so fun about capturing the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat! This post will feature some selected images from three events I was privileged to photograph this year.
Enjoy sports fans! THE BIRKIE
