If you’ve ever been in Erie longer than a few weeks chances are you’ve been to or at least seen Presque Isle. It’s a hidden gem, not because it’s hard to get to or see, but because rarely is it seen for its beauty.  Levi & Loghan knew as soon as we started talking about […]

Fairytales and magic are things that we believe in when we’re small.  Sometimes those stories end up in real time right in front of you.  That’s exactly what happened with these two.  Mike and Kaylynn are crazy in love, full of smiles each time one of their gaze drifts toward the other. It was so […]

I love proposal stories.  They are one of my favorite parts of the engagement session.  I usually wait until about halfway through to ask how it all went down, and Jeremy did not disappoint in their story!! I met with Jessica and Jeremy Sunday evening.  The sun was out in full force, spring had finally […]

” I met Kaitlin and thought wow she’s really down to earth, I mean I know she digs in the dirt every day but that’s really down to earth!” The best joke in a mother’s toast.  In a nutshell that was just how this group of family members and friends were.  Niko and Kaitlin had […]

The skies were a perfect shade of grey.  Weird to say that, but it was just bright enough for a mid-morning glow, and just dark enough to keep you from squinting.  I knew some rain was coming our way, but I was prepped and excited to meet another SZP Couple.  As I pulled into the […]

The autumn is supposed to be crisp, cloudy, and beautiful.  Not dreary and cold.  However, I have found that the dreary PA weather in the fall can make for some beautiful moments.  I met with Mike and Ash at their college campus, Clarion University.  They brought along their fur baby Stanley, and he was so […]

All Jessica knew she wanted was snow.  That’s all she asked for when we booked the engagement session.  Now, I stupidly thought of course there would be snow in December.  It’s Northwest Pa we’re talking about.  I woke up that Saturday morning, looked out the window and nothing.  Not one single flake in the sky.  […]

The cold snowflakes fell on Kaitlin’s hair as he tucked it behind her ear. It was cold in Erie Pa, but it made for the most magical looking engagement photos! Niko and Kaitlin, clad in their formal best were excited and making jokes the entire session. IT was like they weren’t even aware that we […]

The bride to be was so calm, laughing with her girls and hanging out.  She had so much time built into her morning that she could really enjoy it.  I loved that.  The sun shone through the sliding glass doors, illuminating the room filled with hustle and bustle.  The hues of purple from the bridesmaids […]

He stood there just outside the elevator, waiting to hear the ding of the doors opening.  He was nervous, but so ready to see his almost wife.  The waiting and emotions got the best of him as a tear streamed down his face.  The elevator doors opened and you could hear a pin drop.  All […]
