I looked out the window as the speedometer needle lowered.  The view was terrifyingly beautiful.  I could feel my heart quicken as I tried to meander my way through the mountain roads.  When I arrived and got out of the car, the warm summer air took me by surprise.  I heard the sweetest voice as […]

“He’s so wholesome”.  Even though it may have been a joke or lack of better adjectives, after spending time with Adam and Leah I think that wholesome is a great word to describe their love for one another.  We met on a warm sunny evening, the light hit all of  the trees in the most […]

Scrolling through my social media I noticed that there is always so much emphasis on bridal details and just brides in general.  What happened to the grooms?!? I feel like especially in today’s society (you know the one where love is love and that’s all) there should be an equal amount of attention paid to […]

If you have been watching  the news at all in the last few days, you’d know that there is a city in Pennsylvania that has been crushing the snowfall records lately.  I just happen to live in that city! Erie, Pa has always been a pretty snowy city, but this holiday weekend has really dumped […]

Last weekend the snow came to Pa! It was about darn time if you ask me, and while I’m not so much a fan of the blistering cold I love the snow.  There is just something so magical and gorgeous about it, especially when you throw in a couple in love! Amber and Nate met […]

The snow is finally here!! You know what else is finally up and running and absolutely perfect? This new blog and website situation.  Have you ever tried to fix something so many times that you just hated it? That’s how I was feeling.  My blog and site didn’t match what my brand is all about- […]

I am LOVING meeting these couples for 2018! You don’t even know how wonderful it is for me to meet these guys and have some fun with these engagement sessions.  I met with Meredith and Mason at a Christmas tree farm and we did a little walking around.  I have actually never been to a tree farm before (I know GASP) so it was really fun to just see how awesome they are.  

Happy Wedding Wednesday!! That’s a thing right? If not it is now! I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with another one of my 2018 couples and let me tell you they are so wonderful! We were laughing pretty much the entire time we weren’t shivering.  It wasn’t that bad (I’ve photographed in worse) but it was still cold.  

Hi there!! I love welcoming my new brides during the engagement season.  It makes me so excited, and happy and crazy. So, naturally when we set the date for Andrew and Brittany’s engagement session, I was SO EXCITED! The wether however had a different story.  Luckily we were able to find a new date that worked perfectly.  Brittany actually lives in Buffalo, so she made the drive over to Erie for her session and I’m really happy that we were able to come together.  These guys are so adorable.  I was smiling the whole session so much that my cheeks hurt when I was left.  

WOOHOO Hey there Friday!! This month is flying by, it’s almost November.  I can’t even believe that looking at my crazy busy calendar for October.  I have so many new brides to welcome to the SZP family, and with that comes so many adorable engagement sessions.  I want to take a few minutes today and talk about some important stuff…style.  Now when I’m chatting with you about your session we talk about style in such fun way- with photos!  I have created style boards on Pinterest for my sessions to help you bring your vision to life.  My favorite board to create was the one for my gentlemen, can you believe that? So today let’s chat about mens’ style!
