Over the past couple weeks I had two handsome little guys come in for their first year birthday portraits and I wanted to share them with you. Both families were big sports fans, so that made it fun when there were lots of props to choose from! They were both so sweet and fun to work with, I’m so glad you brought them in!

Happy Birthday Will!!

Here is a shot of the 10×20 storyboard print they ordered:

Happy Birthday Cole!!

Did you make your child an awesome costume this year? Maybe you bought a really cool one for yourself. Why not document it? This year I’m offering special Halloween costume sittings. For just $25 you will receive a brief photo session and either an 8×10 or (2)5×7s!

You can make an appointment during special hours next week or you have the option to walk-in on Halloween before trick or treating starts. Hours next week include Wednesday from 1-5, Thursday 11-1:30 and Friday from 11-2. Halloween walk-in hours are between 1-5 on the 31st.

Everyone of all ages is welcome. And don’t forget your pet — we love to photograph costumed pets!

The best costume when all is said and done will receive a free gift! Depending on the number of participants there may be several categories. I look forward to seeing lots of fun costumes!

On Saturday we had the pleasure of photographing a fantastic couple in a beautiful church ( First Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, in Erie ), and at an amazing reception ( the Ambassador at the Courtyard by Marriott ) with over a hundred loved ones celebrating Allison and Danny on their special day. It was awesome! We knew it was going to be a good time after photographing their engagement session and seeing what a fun and loving couple they are. Enjoy the sneak peek of images and look for the full set online in the next few weeks.

Allison & Danny ~ Best wishes on your new life together! I’m sure you are totally living it up on your honeymoon right now! Thanks again for allowing us to be part of such a wonderful day. <3 Heather & Murl

I’m so excited about yesterday’s boudoir sessions! The ladies all looked gorgeous and the room we photographed in was awesome! A couple of them are allowing me to post images of them here on my blog to show you what its all about. If you are interested in a boudoir session, contact me for more information. They can be done anytime, anywhere, even at your house or here in the studio and they make the perfect Christmas, birthday or Valentine present for the man in your life! Want to do it with some friends? Have a boudoir portrait party!

A super huge thanks to Peggy & Dave at Grape Arbor Bed & Breakfast for allowing us to shoot in their fabulous Chancellor suite! I would definitely go stay there if I didn’t live two blocks away! Also a big thank you to Darcie for assisting me on this fun shoot!

Last week Andrea came in for a maternity session with me. It was my first time photographing this type of portrait and I really appreciate Andrea’s willingness to try different things to see what works and what doesn’t. I think we came up with some really cute images! Here are a few for you to look at:
