Baby Makaelyn's First Photo Shoot

This little lady made her debut in true firecracker fashion on the 4th of July!

We met her parents a couple of years ago when Kristen and I photographed their wedding.  I was super happy to get an e-mail a few months back to schedule a newborn session once she arrived.  Her mom and dad are seriously two of the nicest people you will ever meet. (And are TOTALLY in love with her!)

Turns out she already has a mind of her own and didn't want anything to do with photos in the beginning.  We kept trying to get her to sleep but she was having none of that.  We did manage to capture a smile though!

Mom and dad (and photographer) were patient with her and eventually she did drift off into dreamland.  As soon as that happened we were in stealth mode.  I moved quickly and quietly (like a ninja!) to position her and change out hats, headbands and diaper covers.  In the end we got some really amazing photos.  

This right here is why I love my job!!!

Our Pet Expo Drawing Winner

Congratulations to Amanda!  She was the winner of our drawing at the Lyco. Co. SPCA's Pet Expo for a free 2 hour session! 

And what is a more appropriate photo session for a pet expo winner than a photo session with your dog?

 I had a blast working with these two.  Amanda's dog Daisy was a hoot!  

We met up at Indian Park in Montoursville.  It was my first time shooting at that location so I wasn't really sure what to expect.  It turned out to be the perfect location.  The day was pretty warm but Daisy did great keeping up with us and taking plenty of breaks for cool water.  

 I really don't think I could have asked for a better photo session!  We moved all over the park taking advantage of the covered bridge, the gazebo and the pond.  Daisy was a little bit worn out by the end of it was totally worth it!
