Lisa Kauffman - Portrait

I did a portrait shoot on Sunday morning with Lisa.  She is an independent contractor for 4 national staffing agencies.  She works with product promotion, events and has just ventured in to band promoting.  She will be helping The Sleeping World, the band I recently joined and will be helping me promote the photography business.  If you ever need her help, call her!!!  717-341-7331.

We decided to do the shoot in downtown Lancaster.  She loves construction, so we started off at the old Watt & Shand building.  Lisa is in the bottom left hand corner of this picture.

We then walked around Central Market and found a couple of cool places to shoot!

Classic!

Lisa saw this ladder used in other photos and wanted me to use it in hers too.  She fits the part, don't you think?

This was my all time favorite of the whole shoot!  I love how the colors came out and Lisa looks HOT, HOT, HOT!

and the final shot of the day...  We were walking back to our cars in the parking lot and we saw this great place right in front of us.  I love the different color doors!

Thanks so much Lisa.  I had a great time photographing you.  I look forward to you helping me in the future!

Mike & Brandy's Wedding - 5.31.08

I had the pleasure of being the 2nd photographer at Mike & Brandy's wedding on Saturday. I worked with Kelly Metz from Metz Photography. What a good looking couple! They made pictures really easy to take. Although they were calling for tornados, Brandy and Mike were determined to keep the wedding on, and it turned out to be a beautiful day! Once the rain stopped in the morning, there wasn't another drop. The ceremony and reception were held at the Eicher Arts Center in Ephrata. Below are a few of my favorites.

Hope you all enjoy...

Some details... The cake, the lamps & the table settings...

The flowers...

And, meet the bride and groom!

All of the girls...

And the boys...

During the ceremony.

And after. Mike couldn't wait to get his hands on his new wife!

A toast at the reception...

Love their expressions during the best man's toast!

And, I love this one! Mike is serenading her with "It's your love" by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. She had tears in her eyes the whole time...

First dance.

Guests dancing...

And Mike doing the Humpty Dance...

To end this post...

Thank you so much for letting me be part of your special day. I wish you both a very happy marriage.

Happy Memorial Day!

I spent Memorial Day with the Freeh family.  You may remember Kim and Greg and their kids from the December post when we did her maternity shoot.  Anyway, I had so much fun.  We spent the afternoon eating delicious food, watching the dogs play and of course I snapped a few pictures throughout the day.  Below are a few of my favorites.  The first three are of Kim's kids.  Michael, Abbey & Alex.  All three have the most beautiful eyes!  I love shooting her kids!

This is Michael.  He's going to be trouble for the ladies...

And Abbey.  Her eyes are so telling...

And the youngest, Alex.  He's just so happy!

Michael & Abbey playing in the sand box...

This is Kim's niece, Chloe.  Isn't she sweet!

Abbey drawing on the driveway...  Love the curly cues!

And Kim & Alex playing in the yard...

Thank you so much for having me for dinner.  I had so much fun and the food was fantastic!

The Sleeping World

Some of you may not know that I joined a band recently. We are called "The Sleeping World" I sing back-up and am really enjoying myself. We are in a battle of the bands on Saturday and whoever wins gets to open up for the Blues Traveler on June 14th at the Sovereign Stadium in York, PA. How awesome is that! Anyway, back to the whole reason for this post, Sunday we played a private party for one of our biggest fans, Joe! He is a huge Pepsi collector. He had so much Pepsi items around his house. It was really cool to see. Anyway, here are some pics of the band members.

Colin & Heather - Engagement

We had the pleasure of doing an engagement session today with Heather & Colin.  We will be their photographers for their wedding also in September so stay tuned.  We headed off to Chickies Rock County Park since they are both really into the outdoors.  They fish, hike, you name it.  Anyway, take a look below.  I picked out a few of my favorite.  I can't wait to do their wedding!  So Photogenic!

This is the happy couple.

Classic ring shot.

How cute.  Look at that sky!

Love this one!

And this one!

So in love...

They are just a happy couple.  They couldn't stop laughing!

Thanks to both of you for letting us photograph your special moments.  Can't wait till the big day :)
