Evangelical Community Hospital- Lewisburg, PA

I recently had the pleasure of working the marketing team of Evangelical Community Hospital.  The hospital has been busy remodeling "The Family Place" aka... baby central!   The room was set up,  beautiful new woodwork all around, and the sweetest couple with gorgeous twin girls were brought in for this session.  It was a honor to work with such a great team to get this session completed!

 

Addison- Birth Day

It's no secret that birth sessions are pretty much at the top of my favorite list of sessions.  There is something about being in the delivery room, or waiting for mom & baby after a c-section, and having the remarkable opportunity to witness a miracle.

Welcome baby Addison (even though this blog is a few months late, I had to share how precious & sweet this little girl is!) 

Highlights & Promises

Looking back at the last blog post's date, I felt saddened that I let this part of my photography career slide.  I have wonderful customers and followers!  Not only for them, but for myself, I need to get back on this blog track & update you all from here.  Not everyone has Facebook (where I do most of my updating)... this I have come to realize!

My promise is to pop in and update from time to time.  Rather than silently updating the website with new portraits, I will showcase my wonderful customers & friends here once again.

A few highlights from the fall/winter...

 

 

 

 

 

Love Wins

Where to start?  A few months ago I came across a Facebook page for a local family- Team Taylor.  Taylor suffered a traumatic brain injury last year, and his mom documents his progress, trials, and successes through the Team Taylor page.  The more I read about Team Taylor, the more I felt the need to do something... something meaningful... for this family I was praying for everyday.  Nicole, Taylor's mom, has three sons.  They have roughly the same age gap between them as my boys do.  Of course I was drawn to this family!

Life can change in an instant.  One of the main reasons I am in love with photography is what it can do for a person's soul.  Capturing that moment you can never get back.  In the spirit of The Olivia Act, named for a girl who was killed in the Sandy Hook shootings last year,  I wanted to capture the family who was capturing my heart.

Words can not come close to describing how beautiful and miraculous this family is!  The love between each of them... you can feel it in these photographs.  I could have spent all day on that porch... talking to Nicole about this & that... listening to Avery and Tanner playing their guitars (you would not believe the talent these two have vocally AND instrumentally!)  Taylor made me laugh!  The gut-busting kind of laughter. These conversations I will never forget.  From making fun of my "Ford" vehicle, to welcoming me to "the gun show" by showing off the muscles, Taylor made me truly smile. 

Watching the three guys with their mom & dad was emotional.  You see, I can see us in them.  I can see my three boys.  I hope and pray they are as close as these three brothers.  Taylor, Avery, & Tanner are the ultimate role models.  My boys love superheros like Batman, Superman, & Green Lantern.  There are three real life superheros living right here among us.

Working through their session had my nerves a mess!  I truly wanted this family's amazing strength and love to show through.  Nicole told me her motto is "Love Wins."  She couldn't be closer to the truth.  Through tears and laughter... Love really does win.
