Portraits

Earlier this winter I got to spend a quick morning photoshoot with Timothy and Elizabeth braving the February weather in downtown Lancaster. We managed to find a few spots away from the wind, and our furry friend Leo cooperated with the camera quite well. Talk about an easy couple to work with; I felt like I just showed up and they did all the work.

I love senior portraits, especially in the city. I had a great afternoon wandering around Lancaster with Marie; we took a break at Prince Street Cafe to get out of the windy weather for a bit. I was able to capture some fun shots of her and her sister in the cafe. Congrats Marie! Soon you will be a graduate!

I had a chance to grab a few portraits with the Baldauf girls during an extended family shoot. These girls have great style and great smiles! The vintage chairs were fun props to include in the shots.

I had a great time at this summer photoshoot: Hannah brought out her horse Belle for a portrait session. For the most part, Belle was cooperative with the camera; she was mostly interested in grazing the grass. We were also able to get some fun portraits by the barn. I love Hannah’s happy, carefree personality – it shows in her smile!

Dan’s senior session was the first ‘urban’ shoot we did this fall. We had a great time wandering Lancaster city and the surrounding area looking for textures and spaces for photo opportunities. Dan was fantastic to work with; congrats to yet another senior, Dan!

This shoot was so much fun! Grace has a great smile to work with, and the remaining snow from the day before made for some fantastic fill light. During the shoot, Grace’s friend (who also happens to be my sister) tagged along, and we all chatted and laughed between shots. Congrats to Grace, another senior!

Austin and I did a senior session with Nic on a beautiful, cool morning in Manheim, Pa. The temperature outside when we began was hovering somewhere not too far above freezing. Despite the chill, Nic jumped right in and brought out his guitar, which made for fun photos. Congrats to another senior, Nic!

Janna found a superb location for her senior portraits – we meet her at a local orchard on an unseasonably warm fall evening. The scenery and sunlight were excellent, and Janna offered a great, consistent smile. This shoot was a blast. Congrats to Janna, a high school senior!

Esther is one of those people who makes me look good; a really great smile, and quick to jump into a casual pose in front of my camera. Congrats to another senior, Esther!

Congrats to another senior, Caleb! We had a lot of fun with this shoot. Caleb’s theatrical inclination comes out in front of the camera.
