Family

After growing up in a family with 4 sibilings of my own, I have an appreciation for big families. I had the wonderful opportunity of taking pictures of the Spahr Family just a few days ago. They have four beautiful children- Reagan, Mallory, CJ, and Piper (oldest to youngest). All of them are full of life and energy. We spent the latter part of the afternoon running around Warwick Park, letting them play and have fun so I could get some candid shots. Here are just a few... Enjoy!



Reagan- the oldest and a great big sister to her younger siblings

Sweet Mallory



Even with 3 sisters, CJ is ALL BOY.

How cute is Piper?



























My favorite one- All six of the beautiful family!
Thank you so much to the Spahr Family for allowing me to do this! You all were great!

Robyn and RJ have been friends for a long time. When they became interested in each other as more than just "friends" (Robyn was quite young compared to RJ) it may have come as a shock to many. It didn't take long before no one could picture the one without the other- marriage was a great idea. Although seemingly opposites, they are perfect for each other. Their relationship is telling of how God did bring them together so perfectly and is going to bless their marriage in the many years to come.

This day was incredible. Everything about the day fit who they were as individuals and as a couple. Everything about it was unique to their own taste and liking. Robyn designed her own wedding dress, along with the bridesmaids. She also created her own centerpieces, invitations, programs and so much more. How many people have the privilege of having their reception in their parents' backyard? How many more people have the privilege of making it beautiful enough to be in a magazine without breaking the bank? To top it all there was enough love to go around to everyone attending. Robyn & RJ have an amazing way of loving each other deeply AND those around them. It was evident in the atmosphere of the day. Here are just a few to begin with (more reception photos to come...):

Quite a few things...

Before I get too far into this post...some of you may know that I am leaving in just a few days to go here for the rest of the summer. However, I will be home for two weeks in July (3-19) and be home for good on August 14. If you're interested in using my services for any of the following: engagement, children, seniors, family, just for fun (basically anything BUT weddings)... then e-mail me at hk1174@messiah.edu and we can set up a time to do it during one of the days I'm home at a location of your choice (within a 20 mile radius of my hometown...if you know me, you know where I live.)

For all high school seniors~ Are you interested in getting your senior portraits taken at a reasonable price? Let me know!
I was asked to take two of my friends' senior pictures this past week, and considering I had never done much of this before (or anything, really) I wasn't sure what to expect. With a little help from my sisters, I got the job done and am quite happy with the results. Here are just a few:

On another note, I also got to hang out with two wonderful friends from high school this weekend- Andee and Nikki- both fellow future Nurses :)
We went to a new favorite location of mine (a field near French Creek) to get some fun shots, which turned out awesome. Once again, this is just a small taste of what we got:

Self-timer is my new best friend.

Gabrielle

I took my youngest sister, Gabi out to a field a few nights ago to experiment with the lighting. Here's a preview of what I got:
