I've done many surprise marriage proposals, and they are some of my favorite moments to capture. This was a particularly exciting one though because it was the quickest session I have ever booked! I got the message from Austin at 5:22am, and by 7:30am on the same morning I was on my way to photograph his surprise marriage proposal! While the booking was lightening fast, popping the question did not come fast at all! Austin & Jess had been together for 4 years, and since she b

Autumn was a complete rockstar for her homebirth, and she had the most amazing birth team, including her precious little girl. It was such an honor capturing this amazing, beautiful, swift birth. Welcome to the world sweet baby Silas! ♡ #birthstory #empoweredwomen #birth #birthbecomesher #homebirth #midwife #lehighvalleybirthphotographer #poconobirthphotographer #stroudsburgbirthphotographer #birthphotographer #nepabirthphotographer #pabirthphotographer #poconophotographer #p

The other day I finally got to work with this gorgeous beauty for a boudoir session at a beautiful Bed & Breakfast in the Poconos. When she showed up with her pretty pink hair, I was even more stoked! We started with some classic boudoir shots on the bed with this beautiful vintage-inspired lace bra & panty set. I love the beautiful warm tones of the textiles & angular lines of the wood walls (not to mention Montana's gorgeous linear features!) After getting some classic boud

Phylicia contacted me back in the beginning of this year to inquire about doing a photo shoot for her 30th birthday. When she told me she wanted to go for a "Funeral for her 20s" vibe, I literally squealed with joy. This is soooooo my jam. Give me everything spooky & vampy and witchy and dark. We scheduled our sesh for the full moon on Friday the 13th, and it felt like it would take FOREVER for our session date. Well, time flies when you're having fun, and sure enough, it fel

Last week I had the honor of photographing Neithsuly's wonderful homebirth. She handled the birth with such silent grace & power with the support of her beautiful little family. I was so impressed with her patience and calm aura as her adorable little boy observed, played harmonica, and stayed by her side as she gave birth to their beautiful baby girl. I was also impressed with her substitute midwife, Jennifer Timbs, who was filling in for Deborah Fuentes, N's midwife. Jen wa

When Maria told me she wanted to do her engagement shoot at Knoebels, my heart skipped a beat. I have been to tons of amusement parks, but Knoebels is absolutely one of my all-time favorites. We were lucky enough to get some awesome shots before the park opened, and we even got a special celebrity guest to pose in one of their photos - thanks Kozmo! 😉 And can we just talk about their outfits for a minute? I am obsessed! So so happy for this adorable couple, and I cannot wai

When my BFF told me she was pregnant, I could not have been happier for her because I know how much she deeply wanted to be a mama. And I think it shows in these photos because she's glowing! The gorgeous @coraandviolet dress and amazing makeup application by @valerieb_mua just added to her perfect mama goddess lewk. Even a rainbow decided to make an appearance at her maternity session! Katherine and I lived together from the time I was pregnant until my daughter was around 4

Back in June I coordinated a group of wonderful Pocono vendors to collaborate on an elopement giveaway at the utterly breathtaking @PromiseRidge in Stroudsburg, PA. To enter to win, contestants had to post a photo of themselves with their partners and describe what they love about them and what is unique to their story. After dozens of submissions, I chose a winner through random.org in order avoid having to make the very tough decision on who would win. We were blessed with

These two are so madly in love with each other, and the pictures prove it! Their connection with one another is so electric and inspiring. I had such a great time working with them, and I'm so in love with these photos. ♡ #wedding #weddingphotographer #weddingphotography #nepaweddingphotographer #lehighvalleyweddingphotographer #poconoweddingphotographer #poconosweddingphotographer #stroudsburgweddingphotographer #paweddingphotographer #nepaphotographer #paphotographer #poco

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to work with the lovely @jieru_photography on another beautifully styled shoot in the Philly area. I started off this gorgeous sesh photographing details in the @pommeradnor. First up was the macaroon wedding cake spread, made by the incredible @meghanroseconfections: Next was the amazingly pretty table settings with fabulous florals by @winsome_floral and rentals by @lilacandlaceco: Next are the stationary by @eros_stationery and rings

The chemistry between this couple was fire! They were such a blast to work with and were so cute together - I can't even! They rocked this sesh with so much heart & soul, not to mention their adorable outfits. So in love. ♡ #scrantonphotographer #nepaphotography #nepaphotographer #paphotography #paphotographer #poconophotographer #stroudsburgphotographer #lehighvalleyphotographer #portraitvision #portraitphotographer #portraitinspire #portraitmood #nepa #reneedeephotography #

Last week I had the opportunity to photograph this gorgeous couple at the Ridgeland Mansion in Philly. I'm obsessed with the lush florals and boho vibe, not to mention the amaaaaazing deserts. We managed to get some gorgeous outdoor shots before the rain hit, and even managed to get some adorable umbrella shots. Gushing over here! ♡ We started off outside at the ceremony space. I absolutely adore the simplicity of this angular arbor dripping with gorgeous muted florals, not t

Lots of trends come and go when it comes to the wedding industry, but one trend that I hope is here to stay is the First Look: When a bride and groom see each other privately in their wedding attire before the wedding ceremony takes place. I know that some people like to follow tradition when it comes to their wedding day, and one of those traditions would be waiting to see your significant other until your wedding ceremony takes place. And if you want to follow this traditio

I have been photographing this precious little guy since he was a baby, and I will say that seeing him with the baby goats was definitely a high point in the many times I have photographed him. He's such a sweet and happy little boy - mix that with baby goats, and you've got one adorable photo session! ♡ #babygoats #babygoatsofinstagram #babygoat #portraitinspire #portraitvision #lehighvalleyphotographer #lehighvalleyphotography #lehighvalleyportraitphotographer #portraitphot

Megan didn't want a traditional high school senior session, which was music to my ears. I just love doing photo sessions on location, and Adezzo Coffee Shop in Scranton was the perfect locale. Gorgeous brick walls, beautiful lighting, and yummy coffee & sweets. Best of all, this gorgeous subject. She claimed she wasn't photogenic, but I beg to differ! We had so much fun at this session, sipping coffee and wandering. We even snuck in some shots next door at the frame shop and

"Birth is normal. I trust my body." This was one of the many birth affirmations that hung from a banner next to the birth tub as this beautiful mama labored. And she did just that. She trusted her body and flowed through her contractions and delivery with grace, and it was an honor to capture. A true mama-goddess. Congratulations to this first time mama and her hubby on their beautiful baby girl. ♡ Midwife: Jennifer Timbs, Mountain Valley Home Birth: https://mountainvalleyhom

When I tell people I am a birth photographer, about 95% of the time, I am met with a look of either sheer horror or pure confusion - usually a mix of both held together with a desperate attempt at a polite smile. And I get it. We live in a culture that has shaped and informed these reactions. We celebrate babies' arrivals, but rarely do we celebrate the rawness, sacredness, beauty, and power of the women who give birth to them. We know giving birth is physically painful (they

I just adore being welcomed into people's homes to capture their authentic stories, but when they have a beautiful home like this one including a gorgeous sunroom to capture allllllll the natural light, I'm in heaven! This beautiful couple has been together for 11 years, and now they're engaged, and I couldn't be happier for them. We had so much fun, and I just love how the photos turned out. There's the perfect mix of happy family shots and some super hawt couple shots - the

Documentary sessions are my some of my favorite sessions. They are the real deal. No fake smiles. No stiff posing. Just human beings as they are, authentic connections captured. I had such a great time with this wonderful family at this beautiful new space I have to offer for photo sessions. We started the session with some packed lunches, then snuggled on the couch, and eventually ended up in this beautiful bedroom where I got to document some epic wrestling matches, and I e

I've been photographing this sweet little boy since he was a tiny baby, and he always had his reservations about me, but I'm happy to say that he has finally seen the light, and we are now BFFs! Ha! ♡ We had way too much fun at this sesh, and I couldn't be happier with how these photos turned out. Gorgeous golden light, sunsets, and enough love to go around the moon and back!
