It was a beautiful walk around Winterthur Gardens this past October with the Chitturi Family. The fall yellows were just beginning and made for a gorgeous gold backdrop, as did the unique and historic architecture. Take a look!

I loved hanging out at Valley Forge with the Dawes family this past November. I couldn’t ask for more a more gorgeous autumn afternoon - perfect colors and sunlight! My boyfriend also brought along our doggo Betsy to meet Sage - scroll down to see the wrangler at work!

Lincoln Goes Apple Pickin'! by Tara Tayan

A couple of weeks ago I got to meet little Lincoln! He just turned 4 months and our friends Jenn & Chris wanted to show off his cute fall fashions. Unfortunately the apple orchard we chose had little apples on the trees but with some creativity we made it work! It was a beautiful autumn day and so much fun to hang out at Tabora Farms. Happy Fall Y’all!!

Laura + Kevin by Tara Tayan

This has been a crazy year y’all. It has been disappointing in so many ways however it showed us the things we truly value. Love is always at the top of that list in many forms. I’m so glad that we were still able to celebrate Laura + Kevin. Despite changing plans due to the pandemic and crazy summer thunderstorms, the day was filled with so much love. With their friends + family surrounding them, Laura & Kevin created a beautifully intimate ceremony complete with a bubble finale. It was an honor and a pleasure to photograph their special day. Congratulations you two!

Happy belated Birthday to little Gabriel!

I met Jasmine & Dan when I photographed their bridal shower in 2018. It was a send off for their absolutely gorgeous wedding in Spain. About a year later I got a message from Jasmine saying they were expecting! To celebrate lil Gabe turning one in quarantine, I’m sharing the beginning of his story - Mom & Dad’s maternity session! Thanks for checking out this throwback. Enjoy it!

SHS Reunion: Jen + Mike Are Having a Baby! by Tara Tayan

fer-mor-1-11-20-26.jpg

I’ve known Jennifer + Michael for a long time. Mike was one of my first friends when I moved to Springfield, PA in 6th grade. Jen + Mike met at Springfield High School. Actually we were all in marching band together! Now they are expecting their first little one :) It’s exciting and sad because we recently found out that our old high school will be demolished and transformed into a more modern facility. Jen + Mike had the awesome idea to photograph the meaningful place where they grew up and loved together. And you know I was totally on board to see (especially document) the place before it’s gone forever. Go Cougars!
