Jamus at 6 days old

Meet Jamus. What a sweet little guy. We were lucky enough to photograph his parent’s wedding a few years ago so when it came time for his first photo session we got the call. We love shooting these sessions and seeing all of the brand new babies. His mom did a great job getting him ready for us and he did a great job too (except for when he pee'd on dad). Take a look.

Katelyn and Brett in Shippensburg, PA


It was such a pleasure to travel to Pennsylvania to be a part of Katelyn and Brett’s wedding weekend. The couple has a spectacular set of family and friends. It was fun to be part of their rehearsal and dinner at the University Grill. Crab cakes and prime rib....yum. Following dinner the bridesmaids and groomsmen received their gifts. I have to mention the care and thought put into to every single gift. Katelyn and Brett put so much thought and energy into making these gifts memorable. The girls gift bags were like getting Christmas all over again. Katelyn even took a piece of fabric from her wedding dress and embroidered a message in each of the men’s ties. Amazing. The wedding was held in Shippensburg in the St. Andrews Episcopal church which was first established in 1904. The church with candles lining the pews provided such a beautiful backdrop for the very special ceremony. Readings were done by young ones with grace and confidence. The hour long ceremony was the perfect start to their union. The off the the Lodges at Gettysburg for a fun filled reception.  Peacock feathers provided the theme and colors for the day. Plum, lime green and purple. It was so very pretty. Special toasts, a beautiful cake and lots of dancing rounded out the night. The planning paid off with a terrific celebration. No rest for this couple. They are off to Costa Rica on an adventure honeymoon. I hear the zip lining is incredible. Thanks for including us!

Nolan Mark Stansbury @ 2 days


The Cowling clan grew by one with the special delivery of this little man over the holidays. We were fortunate enough to be in California just in time to welcome Nolan to the world. 24 hours in the hospital and one evening to get cuddled before we unwrapped him and put him in all sorts of positions for his first professional photo session. He is such a sweet baby. We are thrilled to present our newest grandson. Everyone, meet Nolan.
