I’ve always wanted to take my work to the next level, scrolling through the discover tab on Instagram, or the magazine shoots on Pinterest.  Insert all the heart eyed emojis here. I’ve been inspired by the likes of Mark Seliger, Annie Leibovitz, and Sue Bryce.  You wouldn’t know this looking at my wedding portfolio, but […]

“It’s Christmas themed without being too Christmasy” – words that I read while looking at the inspiration board of a beautifully detailed Nutcracker-esque wedding. I was so excited to travel to Pittsburgh for the Fine Art Wedding Workshop. As an educator myself, sometimes I find myself wanting to just have a little fun.  Not have […]

The warm summer breeze blew through my windows as I pulled into Whispering Trees Manor.  The sun was shining and it was a beautiful summer day.  The perfect day for Jessica and Brandon to get married. I had spent months getting to know them, spending time in the freezing cold snow for a short engagement […]

I am so excited right now to be able to share this post with you.  This has been in the works for months, and it all started as a normal, run of the mill idea for a styled shoot.  I am a wedding photographer, so during the months that aren’t crazy busy I get bored. […]

Happy Wednesday friends!! It is so sunny and nice looking outside, but then I went to take the dog out and was shocked to the frigid wind.  No thank you! Today I am sharing a super cute styled party that was a HUGE idea, and with the help of some amazing vendors, I brought to […]

Hey Wednesday! Halfway 😉 We’re doing good this week right? Today I want to share some information with all of my brides out there- all about the details of your wedding day! I know wedding planning can be scary and overwhelming, but if you’re an SZP bride know that I will be there for you every step of the way.  I love bridal details- love them.  I spend a good hour-hour and half of the wedding day shooting just the details.  I know that seems like a lot but friends it is not! As a photographer, shooting the tiniest details of your special day is something that you will look back on and be so happy about.  It’ll get me ready for your day by really getting me into the feel of your wedding.  I love getting creative with things and your details is one of the areas that I can really do that. 

Hello inter web friends! How has your week been going- good? I hope so.  Mine has been just dandy. I have so many new and exciting things coming this year and I have this huge crazy plan to slowly unleash them all for you. Here’s a more in depth look at one of those plans!! I had mentioned earlier this week at a new type of session- My Glam sessions! Miss Halle here is one of my first 2017 Glam Girls and she completely knocked it out of the park!

Monday is here, the weekend is over-did you spend yours wrapped up in blankets like we did? It has been frigid and snowy here! I’ve slowly opened up my boudoir sector of business over the last few years.  It has been a slow, steady, scary adventure to say the least.  Boudoir photography is often looked down on, or judged before anyone ever gets to talk about it.  I’m working to change that because damn it EVERYONE SHOULD GET TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL!

Happy Wednesday!! Fall is in full swing here in Erie, and as always my couples are aching for fall engagement sessions! I do not blame them one single bit, because autumn in Erie Pa is beautiful. Sara and Jake are big outdoor people, so to Wintergreen Gorge we went! We had a great morning together (minus the time change adjustment) and I am so excited to share these images.
