Miss L. | arrived

Congratulations to Kristina and Rich!  They are the proud parents of Miss L. who arrived at 11:47pm on June 25…13 minutes prior to her due date (how’s that for punctual?).

Miss L. was 6 days old when these photos were taken - which is about the perfect time to take photos of newborns.

I love photographing hands because they show the connection people have with each other.  With Kristina and Rich, we began the tradition of photographing their hands on their wedding day, another during the maternity session, and of course, this one with Miss L’s tiny hands.080701_057.jpg

While Kristina and Miss L. were taking a little break to eat, I took several photos of the nursery.  Thought that these little pillows and hats were adorable.

The dress that Miss L. is wearing in this photo was Kristina’s when she was a baby.080701_209.jpg

Some additional peeks into Jade and Brian’s wedding:

Jade + Brian | weddings

Jade and Brian are my second couple this year who are living in Texas but came back to Pennsylvania to get married.  Their ceremony took place at St. Benedict’s Church in Carrolltown and their reception was held at one of Jade’s family member’s farm in Loretto.

While several of my brides have carried rosary beads on their wedding day, this was the first time that I’ve seen it as a rosary bracelet.

I love when heirloom jewelry is included - this ring was attached to Jade’s bouquet:

Isn’t this beautiful how the candlelight is illuminating their hands?

Jade is just a stunning bride…

And Jade’s handsome husband, Brian

I was at the opposite side of the dance floor when spying the flower girls watching intently while the newlyweds shared their first dance; I moved behind the two girls to capture this photo with them looking on.

I love this detail photo that was taken while the best man was making his toast.

It sprinkled off and on throughout the day, but it always seemed to stop at the points when it would have been inconvenient for Jade and Brian to do all that they wanted…of course, one of the pluses that sometimes occur as a result of rain happened as I was driving back to Pittsburgh that evening - we were getting a beautiful and colorful sunset and I spotted a rainbow, so I pulled off to the side of the road to take a photo or two.
