Here we are.
Nice to meet you!
I have big things planned for you!
I ended 2019 with a bang…one of my favorite photo shoots to date! This project began with a passive thought, “I think I would like to do a SMALL styled shoot…soon”. In 12 days? Sure!
A.D.D. has some positive attributes when utilized in the right way. Thanks to my racing mind, a team of amazing vendors and my models, we pulled off something pretty amazing.
My vision for this was “The Great Gatsby Meets Modern Glam” in a venue stylized in a very New Years Eve fashion! Now…just to get this vision off the ground!
TIME TO MEET MY MODELS!
I approached Lauren at work and I was so excited when she said yes! She just had to get her fiance Jose on board. Praise Jesus he said yes and we were ready to go! These 2 recently got engaged and are just starting the wedding planning process.
Their love is tangible in these photos and I swear that they are professional model and not telling me.
1st time in front of the camera???
No way! Not with that smolder!
They brought the heat and were such good sports with all of my crazy ideas and direction. Lauren looked absolutely gorgeous, timeless, classy and sexy. And she did it all in bare feet.
Jose…you did amazing, so handsome, but I am not sorry to say that your girl stole the show…make sure one of these photos makes it into your wallet!
I made some great connections with the vendors in my small town of Hanover, PA. I learned that this town is pretty unique in the fact that we look out for one another. Many business owners that I worked with for this shoot were looking to help in any way that they could. And I don’t know if you would find that just anywhere.
THE VENDORS
- Venue- SPG Capital
- Props- Hierloom 23
- Signage- Alayna and Rayne
- Cake- The Cake Bar
- Jewelry- Scott & Co Fine Jewelers

Once again, thanks to these amazing business owners who helped me make this shoot possible. It was so fun to get those creative juices flowing and flex those talented muscles with each of you!
2019…
You were something.
A lot of things actually.
Exhausting. Amazing. Full of life lessons…heartaches…self doubt…triumph…elation…depression…laughter.
Challenges galore.
There were times I wanted to quit. Sometimes I was filled with self-doubt. There were quite a few tribulations this year that truly broke me to my core.
But, when you are broken down into tiny pieces of who you are, you are given the opportunity to rebuild.
I have learned that I am stronger than what is put before me. I learned that not everyone is rooting for you and that is ok! I learned that it’s better to leave some things in the past and move on because hate is too heavy to hold on to. I have learned that we should probably go with grace more often. And I have learned that with the right people around us, we can do just about anything!
So, with all that…I would still say 2019 was pretty kick-ass.
2020 —- GET READY, Big Plans Ahead…
