Snow much fun

Well here we are just a few days away from Christmas and we have SNOW!  I am hoping it stays.  I had planned to be closed until the new year, but the weather changed that.  I am a sucker for little kids playing in the snow so I offered a special on my page.  The special filled up almost immediately, BUT I plan to offer a special every day from here until Christmas.  Stop by the website www.photolovephotography.com or www.facebook.com/photolovephotography for your chance to snag a deal! 

The countdown is on

I have been completely slacking in the blog category lately.  With the holidays and weddings I have been behind the lens quite a bit.  I have been doing a lot to give back lately.  I offered a free session to a family who's son is battling cancer.  I have began to try to gather funds for a family in need this season.  I have really shifted my focus into helping others any way I can. 

I just wanted to apologize for the lack of posts and to give you all a few peeks of what I have been up to.

 

Falling in love with these frames!

I have 3 of these beauties on the way for my fall sessions!

One of my favorite things about fall is pumpkins.   My all day every day favorite thing is photography.  I decided to incorporate both of my favorite things this season.

I will be offering 2 - 8x10's and 1 - 11x14 sized pumpkin frames for use in photos.  I also have an 11x14 chalboard insert for them.   I can not wait to put these to use.

Love is in the air!

Fall is by far my favorite season.  The colors, temperatures, pumpkin pie, and football are some of my very favorite things.  

On top of the usual things people love about fall, there is the fact that it is wedding season for me.
I had the pleasure of doing engagement pictures for 2 beautiful couples recently.  I will be photographing one of those couples weddings this October.  I am so excited.  I love capturing those tender moments for them.  It is an honor that they chose me out of the many local options to snap them.  

Here are a few peeks from those session

 

A big Congratulations to both couples!

 

The new school pictures

I had the pleasure of photographing one super cool little man the other day.  They parents opted for a more personal setting for school photos and I think it could not have went any better.  Not only are the photos original, but they are personal because they were at a location that they chose.  When you put a child into a position where they do not feel comfortable you run the risk of those "fake" smiles because you are telling them to do it.  If you give them a bit of freedom you can end up with truely perfect smiles for the subject.

Just a teeny warning.  If you pull a hot rod out during the shoot you will finish with the hot rod!  Once the car was pulled out of the garage I lost him.  lol

  But even though I lost him to the car, he rocked it!  This is my favorite picture from the shoot.  He was in his element here and it shows.

First Birthday Princess

Today I headed outdoors for a gorgeous blue eyed cutie's first birthday photos.  She was such a trooper and absolutely adorable. 

One can never go wrong with anything pink, pearls, lemons, tutus, and bows!  This is every little princesses dream.

I absolutely love my clients and my job. Shoots like these remind me every single day just how lucky I am.  I get to document childrens lives.   I get to watch them grow.  It is such a rewarding feeling.

I love to see the smiles and warmth that follows.  It is far too easy these days to focus on the negatives.  I truly believe that the smiles of children are rays of sunshine.  For those moments the world seems to fade and you are focused on the sweet innocence of a child. 

Anyway, I just wanted to share a few peeks of this sweethearts special day.

Happy Birthday Kinley

Fall is just around the corner!

It's that time of year again!!

Who doesn't love a mini session in fall. The crisp fresh air, brilliant colors, apples dumplings and pumpkin pies that find their way into your homes and hearts every year. I would like to help you capture those moments at an affordable price. So here is my mini session information for this season.

Big changes

I have been MIA for quite some time.  Lots of babies, birthdays, losses, and new beginnings.  I have the new studio all painted and ready to go.  I can not wait to get it all settled and get back to my normal work schedule.  Once everything is complete, I am hoping to do something fun for my lovely clients who have been such a major support for me in my venture.

I'll try to catch up soon

A little birdie told me...

Sorry I haven't been updating lately.  I have been very busy with little cuties and sweet new babies.  Easter sessions were wonderful and everyone did a great job including the baby chicks.  Please know that the chicks have settled nicely into their new home on the farm and none were harmed.  The children were all instructed to sanitize their hands after touching them also. 

The weather was gorgeous and the perfect temperature.  Here are a few sneak peeks.  Head over to the website or facebook to see more

Shoes and Diamonds are two of womens best friends

I decided to incorporate that into this photo.  There are 2 things I love.  Shoes and Diamonds.  What girl doesn't.  Add a wedding to the mix and it results in photos like this. 

Just wanted to share

Lovely Ladies

I had a fantastic time with the boudior shoots.  What a wonderful bunch of ladies.  They did a fabulous job and proved that small town girls have definitely got it going on. 

I just want to take a minute to say this

Size does not matter.  Sexy is sexy!

Each and every one of my clients today were gorgeous and their personalities came through in their photos. 

Self Portrait

I entered www.rocktheshotforum.com self portrait contest.

This entry was a bit difficult.  I set up the camera and used my remote.  After about 30 snaps I got this one and went with it.  I really wanted to focus on the makeup.  It speaks a lot about my personality.  Bright, bold, artistic!

Boudior anyone?

Gearing up for this weekend's Boudior shoots.

I am so excited to see what these wonderful woman come up with.  I can't wait to get creative and make each session something wonderful.

The joys of childhood

I have been catching up on past sessions and have almost completed them.  I am gearing up for my boudior sessions this weekend, but took the evening off to enjoy and evening at the ice rink with my son. 

Bonus Diva shot!!

Snow Blowin

I decided to take a day off "work" and head outdoors to enjoy the beautiful snow with the little ones. 

These photos were shot at 200 ISO

It is crazy how when you are a little one, the cold doesn't even phase you, but when you grow up it chills you to the bone.  Still tons of fun though

"Iced"

Well one thing I love about Western Pa is the snow!  It is so beautiful and makes for an excellent backdrop.  I decided to bust out my .50 mm and set out for some new pics. 

I shot at 100 ISO, 1.8 Aperature, and manual focus with no flash.

I went for the "iced" out theme.  Not only in the literal form, but also the slang! lol

Anyway here are a few quick shots from today.
