They’re back!

Time for these adorable cousins to get together for the annual Grandparents Day picture!  I love these little gals and even more, I love seeing how they change and grow each year.  They get so big so fast!  Their little voices become more confident, their smiles a bit more relaxed, and their cousinly love for each other continues to shine through.  Their family is so blessed for this flourishing five!

Lia – Class of 2017 ~ [Harrisburg, PA – High School Senior Photographer]

Another lovely lady gracing my blog today!

Three years ago around this same time, I photographed this adorable teen along with her big brother who was at that time, also entering his senior year in high school.  Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled when Lia came back to me (this time as a senior herself) and asked me to take her senior photos.  And as we did the last time around, we made it a family affair and this time had big and little bro join in for some of the fun.  I love this family to pieces.  I know how proud mom and dad must be to have two teenage kiddos with warm and kind hearts, a strong faith in God, bright futures ahead, and lovely personalities to boot.  And their little guy has two amazing role-models in his older sibs so I’m sure he’ll soon be following in their footsteps.  The best of luck this year, Lia!

Two Ellas ~ [Harrisburg, PA – First Holy Communion Photographer]

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again and again and again…. I love this time of the year when First Holy Communion season arrives!  There’s just something about photographing children when they’re all dressed up in their beautiful gowns and suits and carrying rosaries and little bibles.  You can tell they are all wrapped up in their holiness and so serious about their upcoming First Holy Communion.  Here is a sneak peek from last weekend’s session with the two Ellas.  There’s only one thing better than seeing a beautiful little angel all dressed in white and that is seeing TWO of them together!   (I’ll post some individual photos of the girls in a separate post).  Enjoy!

    Thank you Butch! All I can say is that it’s not so much me as it is the gorgeous children I am so blessed to photograph! But thank you! 🙂

Happy Birthday, My Sweet Little Girlie!

“From the moment they placed you in my arms, you snuggled right into my heart!”

Happy 7th Birthday to my spunky monkey – the one who fills my world with more sweetness than I could ever imagine.
Happy Birthday my Sophie Bridget!  I love you to the moon and back… and then some!  XOXO

    Christine, the photos are very sweet – and her personality comes through. Kudos to you and your little subject!
