I had the chance to photograph senior portraits for Wyatt, the son of an old friend from high school — and it turned into a perfect fall evening.

We started at Long Level, right along the Susquehanna River, with calm water and soft afternoon light. Then we headed up to High Point Scenic Vista in Wrightsville, the highest overlook in the area, to catch the sunset.

As the sun fell, the air turned crisp and the sky lit up beautifully. We walked away with some incredible portraits and a session that felt meaningful on so many levels.

If your senior still needs portraits — or wants something outdoors with real personality — I’d love to help.

We spent the weekend up at our cabin in Coudersport, and I had the opportunity to photograph a really fun family of 15 at the PA Lumber Museum on Route 6 in Potter County.

This location was perfect for such a large group… rustic, open, and full of that natural Northern Pennsylvania charm. Diane was especially pleased with how I captured the grandchildren's personalities.

It turned a simple weekend trip into something truly special, and I’m grateful I got to capture these moments for them.

If your family is thinking about portraits — whether it’s a big group like this or your immediate family — I’d love to help create something meaningful and timeless.

While doing a senior portrait session, there was another photographer waiting for this couple to arrive. She was there to capture a truly great moment in anyone's lives. It was a really incredible place to propose to someone you love.
While waiting for the couple to arrive another woman was hanging around this spot. The photographer politely asked if she would be okay with moving a little bit out of the way. Well, this woman wasn't having it. "It's a public place, they didn't have reservations... blah, blah."
So, I snapped this because I was super annoyed at Miss Entitled and I had a clear view, although I didn't have my telephoto with me at the time. Juli Martin was the original photographer there to capture the proposal. I hope you managed to get some great shots in spite of Miss Entitled.

We’re bummed to say this... but due to the rain in the forecast, we’ve decided to postpone this Sunday’s Wedding Expo. 🌧️

The good news? We’ve already got a new date—Sunday, October 26 from 1–4PM! 💍✨ Same great event, just with (hopefully) a little more sunshine.

We hope you can still join us to meet local vendors, get inspired, and plan your dream day at Royal Winery. 💚

Saturday night in the ’burg

Nichole and I recently attended her cousin Zoey’s wedding in Havre de Grace, Maryland — a beautiful horse farm wedding with more than 300 guests, laughter, and golden sunlight everywhere you looked.

I hadn’t planned to photograph the day, but sitting right by the dance floor gave me the perfect spot to quietly capture a few emotional moments — their first dance, her dad’s smile, and the energy of everyone celebrating.

Sometimes, the best photos are the ones you never plan for.

Once in a while I get the chance to go out for some landscape photography. I live in a river town across from our state capitol, Harrisburg. There are many great vantage points for capturing its skyline. This one was shot from the boat launch in New Cumberland, looking north, up the Susquehanna River. The reflections on the water are what make this image.
