Aren’t they adorable in their Red Sox gear? I had a fun time shooting some photos with them and am thankful for their time!

I was out for lunch one day with one my favorite girls and decided to go early and take a few minutes taking photos. I shot this outside of the Appalachian Brewing Company in Harrisburg…This is along the side that is the brewery part of the building and the old windows are cemented over.
It’s a very cool place to eat and drink with friends or family. I highly recommend making a visit!

With the weather in Pennsylvania being less than fall fabulous I decided to post a picture from my summer vacation to Sarasota, Florida. The beach always seems to make me feel better! This little guy was wandering around in the night down at Longboat Key Beach. The sand reminds me of the wonderful heat, the smell of the ocean and the feel of the sand in my toes! Hope this brings up everyone’s weather woes!
White Wedding October 1, 2009

This photo is another from the set of the wedding I went to a few weeks ago. Originally this shot was in color but the sun washed it out terribly. I modified it by turning it to black and white and adjusting the levels of contrast/brightness. At first I was unhappy with the fact that I couldn’t see their faces because of the sun but now that I look at it I appreciate it and it almost reminds me of those photos you see in ads.
Hope you enjoy!

Over the weekend I went to Pittsburgh to attend the wedding of now Mr. and Mrs. Joss Witzel. It was a gorgeous day for an outdoor ceremony and the bride looked stunning. This is a shot of Kelly during the ceremony.
I almost forgot! Make up done by Ashle-a Powell

Take yourself back a few decades with this picture. This is the dogwood tree that sits in my front yard. Read the note on the photo and tell me what you think!

Last year around this time I was seeing off the last of my Monarch caterpillars turned butterfly. I collected around 30 of those little guys and in the beginning they were only millimeters in length. I cared for them and watched them grow into two inch long caterpillars and then they’d go and hang from their bottoms to turn into a chrysalis. I had about 20 butterflies to release by the end of the summer. It was truly an amazing experience.
When we see butterflies in nature we rarely realize the constant danger these little guys are in. Monarchs specifically lay their eggs on wild milkweed plants which you can find along roadsides, fields, farms, etc. Many townships/farmers cut them down so the Monarchs don’t have places to lay their eggs. If they can find them, the little babies are in danger of being killed by yellow jackets, picked off by birds and weather.
This year, I have a heavy heart because I only found four caterpillars this year about a half inch long. The weather was a huge problem for them. The momma butterflies did not return from Mexico in full force but rather the majority of them stayed down south because of our uncommonly cold weather. At the time I found my four we were having our extreme heat/humid spell. Unfortunately, one by one each of my caterpillars perished. I think that the extreme heat and moisture in the air was too much for their little bodies to handle.
So here’s to hoping next years conditions are better and give these beautiful wonders of nature a fighting chance. <3

I think this picture tells it all. I obviously lost my mind on the way home from Florida.

My new favorite animal, flamingos! They were so neat to see up close. These are Caribbean Flamingos and almost as tall as me! (I’m 5′5″)…They ate from the palm of my hand and were positively pink
