Ericka in Wissahickon Park

“And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep and autumn was awakened.” -Raquel Franco

It was great to meet Ericka, who recently moved to Philadelphia with her husband to work as a scientist. She does wicked makeup, has the most extensive and amazing collection of rocker-witchy-goth-cute outfits I’ve every seen, and is a blast to work with. Check out my first shoot with her!

“And the sunsets of Autumn, are they not gorgeous beyond description? More so than the brightest dreams of poetry?””

The Chitturi Family at Winterthur Gardens

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!

An autumn shoot isn’t complete without playing in the leaves!

The Dawes Family at Valley Forge

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!

My bf was the dog wrangler for the day!

Kiaan at Longwood Gardens

This was Kiaan’s 1st time visiting Longwood Gardens! His mom and dad love it there and could not wait to show him all their favorite spots. Of course, it’s more fun when you just get to roll around in the leaves but I think he liked it nonetheless!

The 2020 shot!

Lincoln Goes Apple Pickin'!

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!!

Elena and Brendt

It is always great to see old friends. I have known Elena since I was five, and she has not changed a bit. She is one of the craziest, most interesting people I've known. Once we get talking, we can go on for days. On this trip, I got a great chance to finally photograph Elena and her boyfriend, Brendt, who had been best friends for ages. I also photographed her adorable zoo: bunnies, dogs, and even guinea pigs. Insanity, but I love it.

I hope you enjoy!

In Autumn: Danielle

The light, the colors, the perfectness of this day was unbelievable. I met Danielle on one of the most beautiful days that I've seen all November. I was ecstatic. Danielle is an aspiring model who, I absolutely enjoyed working with.  

Philly vs. Pittsburgh: Rugby

I had the great opportunity to photograph my friend, Kelli's, rugby game. This was the first rugby game I had ever attended and to say the least, it was intense! These girls are amazing, to be able to tackle and bring down another person is something I don't know if I could ever do. If anyone ever has the chance, I would recommend going!
