Our Plus One | Keira

It happened.  It's no longer just Aaron and I.  We are so happy to announce the pitter patter of little feet in our home.....

Meet Keira!

So it started out innocent enough.  We went to the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter just to visit the dogs one Saturday afternoon.  Amongst the craziness was this sweet, sweet girl.  We took her out to play and our heart was officially gone.  We were in LOVE.


I mean.  Come on?!

She enjoys walks, belly rubs (a lot!), giving kisses, cuddling, other dogs, people, and, unfortunately, squirrels and bunnies.  The last two are a bit problematic for us at the moment, which is why this is her view of the aforementioned.

Daddy's girl.


She's actually pretty good a delegating love equally :)


Yes, we have a death grip on her because she probably saw a squirrel.  Or bunny.

We hope she loves water, so far so good!  But we don't quite trust her enough to let her loose in the water.  However, I hear Aaron has exceptional lake-swimming skills just in case :)

We feel so blessed to find such a good dog.  She's the perfect addition to our family and we couldn't be happier.  If you're ready for lots of love in your life, please run (don't walk!) to your nearest shelter and adopt a pup.  There are SO many great dogs just waiting to go home.



There will be many photos of Keira plastered all over the blog and FB page, however, I have a new-found respect for pet photographers.  She makes photographing a 2 year old a walk in the park :)

Sara + John: Engaged | Mt. Nittany Winery - State College, PA

Sara and John are such a great couple!  Not only is their love obvious and their happiness apparent, but they are just the nicest couple and so much fun to be around :)  When I mentioned wanting to shoot an engagement session at a winery, Sara was one of the first ones to contact me and I couldn't wait to get these two in front of my camera.  Unfortunately our first session was cancelled due to tornado warnings (yeah 60 mph winds really kill a good hair day) so we rescheduled for the fabulous Mount Nittany Winery in State College, PA.  Such a gorgeous winery!  And judging by the empty wine bottle at the end of the session, apparently their wine is VERY good as well :)

Their natural love is so beautiful and comfortable, CANNOT wait to document their October wedding at the beautiful Peter Allen House in Harrisburg, PA.  Enjoy!




Love love LOVE Sara's dress and the way it perfectly (yet so easily) drapes.



They enjoy visiting wineries, so this was the perfect location choice.



Did I mention Sara has the most beautiful hair?!  Please share your secrets!!
