Baby Evie: 6 Months

07.20.08

Last week I had a chance to photograph 6-month old baby Evie and her parents, Kristi and Mark. I had done photos for Kristi's sister and her family several months ago, so ever since I had been looking forward to meeting her and her husband, and of course their beautiful baby girl. I just adored them, and the shoot couldn't have gone better. Kristi and Mark - thank you so much for welcoming me into your home and for the opportunity to preserve these precious memories for you. I hope you love the images as much as I do. ~Kristine The beautiful Evie and her very proud parents Evie's blue eyes are stunning. I was able to make use of the great natural light in Kristi and Mark's home in order to really make them POP! A little playtime... And an unexpected shot with Mom while changing outfits. I love it. Evie in her crib. She looks like a doll. Love the smile. This is one of my favorites, although I have way too many! Evie was happy to get a little "naked time". And then we were ready to venture outdoors for some pictures. Their dog Jake stole a kiss. Evie just loves her puppies! It was so cute. I love this moment between Kristi and Evie. Mark - hope you like the backlighting! And of course Evie's smile is priceless. What a beautiful family. Looking forward to seeing you all for another shoot in a few months. To see more images from their lifestyle photography session, click HERE for a slideshow...and make sure your volume is turned up.

Stephanie & Tim's Engagement

07.17.08

On Saturday night, Scott and I did an engagement session with Stephanie and Tim....at HERSHEY PARK! It was the best time. It truly felt like a double date - we were just the paparazzi friends with the fancy cameras. Steph and Tim, we had an absolute blast with you guys and we're super excited for your wedding on October 18th at The Civic Club in Harrisburg. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! We'll talk to you soon. Big hugs ~ Kristine & Scott So as most brides do, Steph was asking what to wear, and I told her "bright" colors. Well, their shirts couldn't have been more perfect for the amusement park setting. I actually had a really hard time converting images to black and white, because I didn't want to hide the awesome color. Anyway, I'm digressing. Here is a little of what Steph and Tim did on Saturday night. They rode a few rides...like the Merry Go Round. The Starship. This ride was FAST, and Scott got this great shot by panning to show the motion in the background. And The Whip. They ate some cotton candy. And then posed for a few "don't look posed" portraits. Tim carried Steph around...I absolutely LOVE this picture. See what I mean about the colors! And they played some games. They even won a little stuffed dog for our daughter, Elsa. They goofed around with each other... And they were very patient with us while we perfected this shot using a very slow shutter speed to get the ferris wheel to look like a circle of light. Then they danced - Tim said they were practicing for their wedding. You two are adorable - thanks again for the great shoot! To see more images from Steph & Tim's engagement shoot, click HERE for a slideshow...and don't forget to turn up your volume!

Maybe Mark and I will have to have you guys come meet us in Hershey in October for our 3 year anniversary! :) Evie's a little young for the park yet... Steph   |   07.18.08   |   Kris & Scott - we LOVE you both and our pictures just as much!! You both did a wonderful job and I couldn't be happier with the preview. Can't wait to see the rest of our engagement pics and definitely can't wait to see how wonderfully you'll capture our wedding in October! :) pamela   |   07.18.08   |   kris and scott once again the pictures are awesome. that one with the ferris wheel was so awesome and i have never seen a picture like that. you should win some type of reward for that one. great job Amanda   |   07.21.08   |   Awesome. What a fun idea for a shoot!!! I heart ferris wheels so I love that shot. Great job again. Kris & Scott   |   07.22.08   |   So happy everyone likes the pics! Steph and Tim, we're working on a slideshow for our main website right now. :)

Baby Lauren is 2!!!

07.13.08

Baby Lauren was my first official lifestyle client ever. I first took her pictures when she was just 4 weeks old, back in 2006. The fact that my clients come back to me year after year is so flattering, especially because some of them have been coming to me since, well, before I really knew what I was doing! But everyone has to start somewhere, and I guess my clients have always seen the heart behind my images. To Lauren's parents, Cari and Brock, thank you! Thank you for letting me document your baby girl as she grows and for letting me grow as a photographer too. I hope you like the little preview of images. Much love! ~ Kristine Here is newborn Lauren in Daddy's hands...just 4 weeks old. And here she is today. She just turned 2! Bubbles are her favorite thing right now. It was hard to pick just one bubble shot for the blog. Hello BLUE eyes!!! Lauren's eyes are gorgeous, and I was so glad to get her in this spot which had the best natural light to show them off! This image is the epitome of cuteness - the crossed arms, the mini skirt, the crocs. She is just too much! As most two year olds are, baby Lauren was very busy! Cari was worried that every picture would be of her looking away or down at the ground...but I told her not to worry. I have learned to be very quick on the shutter to get that eye contact. Playing on the playground. Lauren was really brave going on all the big slides. A cute shot inside the playground tunnels. And last but not least, a shot in the water. I love this moment.

Cari   |   07.14.08   |   Kris!! You did it! You can see her eyes! She was so active that night I thought for sure we would never have not have a single view of her eyes!! LOL Thanks for taking the time to chase our girl around for these great photos! Can't wait to see the rest! -- I LOVE the tunnel shot!! =) mellissa   |   07.14.08   |   I really like the pictures you took of her but even tho this one doesnt have her face i LOVE it Cubby   |   07.14.08   |   She is an angel, down right beautiful... Carrie she looks like you, OUT STANDING... Michelle   |   07.17.08   |   I'm SO impressed you're back into your work schedule already!!! - yay for mommy! ;)

Baby Kaydins: 6 Months

07.10.08

On July the 4th, I went to baby Kaydins' home for her 6-month photography session - the second shoot of her "Baby's First Year" package. During her 3-month session, she was very aware of the camera, but we had to work really really hard for smiles. Boy did that change this time around! I think I got one or two serious faces the whole shoot. Kaydins was all smiles - perhaps she wanted to show off her 2 new teeth! To Sherry, thanks again for the opportunity to photograph your little angel as she grows. She is a beautiful, happy little girl, and I can't wait to see her in another 3 months. Hope you like the sneak peek. Lots of love ~ Kris She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini... And then she wore this adorable outfit. Sherry had 4 outfits for Kaydins, which I was a little worried about at first...(because as a new parent, I have learned how hard it can be to change clothes on a little one)...but Kaydins didn't mind at all. She just laughed and smiled constantly! This is one of very few serious looks I got. And I just love it. I want to pinch those cheeks! I'm not one for using "props", but it was the Fourth of July...so when Sherry said she had a flag, I was all about using it. Especially because Kaydins had a special Fourth of July dress. Too cute. I think this is the biggest smile I got - I love that you can see her 2 new bottom teeth that just came in. And l saved a favorite for last. If I had to pick just one, this might be it. I love her little white dress, the beautiful background, and the smile on her face as she pulled the flower off the stem.

click to show comments add comment email a friend Amanda   |   07.10.08   |   Adorable. Love the bikini of course. Sherry   |   07.10.08   |   They are absolutely adorable if I may so myself. Kris you are such a wonderful photographer it should definitely be your full time job. Thank you so much for everything they are wonderful and Kaydins will cherish the pictures as she grows up, as will Bryson and I. You are Wonderful. Kristen :)   |   07.10.08   |   While she is absolutely gorgeous in all of them, and oh so happy, I must pick this as my favorite! The expression is priceless! You may be tired of hearing it, but you two have a beautiful little girl here! Donna   |   07.13.08   |   Words cannot express how much I love this little girl. I think she is one of God's greatest gifts to these two very lucky parents. She is just beautifulllllllllllllllllll!!!! I look forward to my one day a week with her. Wondered how I can order one of these beautiful pictures. They are beautiful. Nicole   |   07.22.08   |   Kaydins is so cute. I look forward every three months to her new photos.

Tiffany & Ty's Wedding

07.07.08

On Saturday, June 28th, we photographed Tiffany and Ty's wedding at http://www.theboathouseatsundaypark.com/the_gardens_catering/index.php in Midlothian, Virginia. I grew up in Midlothian, and Scott and I actually had our rehearsal dinner at "Sunday's" six years ago, so it was truly a special place for us to shoot a wedding. The fact that it is insanely gorgeous was an added bonus! Tiffany and Ty, we're honored that you chose us to document your wedding day. The two of you, and your families and friends, were a blast and I think the pictures show how much fun everyone had at your wedding. We hope you had a fabulous time in the Dominican, and we hope you like the little preview of a few of our faves. Talk soon! ~ Kris & Scott I started the day at the hair salon with the girls. And then I shot some details. Tiffany's veil was beautiful and perfect with her dress. There is something about red roses against a white gown. Tiffany was gorgeous. Straight out of a magazine. And her 5-year old little brother Josh was the cutest thing ever! Can't forget the groom. Looking good Ty! Scott got this great shot of Tiffany and her dad walking down the aisle. While I love the ones I got from the front of the aisle, I love this one more because it shows the beautiful waterfront scenery and guests. A cute ceremony giggle. And the first kiss. Actually there were several! It was a HOT day, so the staff brought everyone cold beer to enjoy while taking portraits. I was impressed. We loved Tiffany and Ty's wedding party. Such a fun group. With a train like that, I had to blog a full length portrait. Having a little fun with the rings. The grand entrance into the pavilion. And the first dance. The wedding party cheering them on - what great friends. I love this picture! Tiffany and her dad seemed very close, and their dance brought me to tears. The mother-son dance was adorable. Ty even learned salsa dancing just for his mom! Little brother Josh couldn't wait to cut in - he shared a special dance with big sis and stole the show! Not to be outdone by Josh, Tiffany's younger sister Ashley gave an awesome toast. It was a tearjerker, with some hilarious moments as seen here. Then there was a little cake smashing. And then more dancing, following by a big exit where guests threw birdseed at the honeymoon-bound couple. T & T - congrats and thanks again!

It looks like a great location for a wedding and such a cute couple! Mark   |   07.16.08   |   Fun wedding and congrats again you too! Hope to see you soon buddy! Tiffany   |   07.17.08   |   Love these pics! Can't wait for more! Thanks to everyone for celebrating our special day with us!

Tiffany & Ty's Engagement

07.03.08

On Friday night, we did an engagement shoot for Tiffany and Ty in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia. Since they live in Florida and have been planning a long distance wedding, they decided to do their engagement pictures the night before their big day - what troopers! Their rehearsal dinner was Thursday night, and they really wanted to get some good casual pictures together, so the timing worked out well. Scott and I had met Ty at my younger brother's college graduation many years ago, but despite emailing back and forth for almost a year, I had never met Tiffany. Upon meeting her, I was even more excited about their upcoming wedding- she was beautiful and sweet, and very excited about pictures. :-) How do we get so lucky over and over again?!? I heart our brides! Tiffany and Ty, I know you won't have Internet access until you return from the Dominican next week, but I wanted to post your engagement pictures first - that way when you return, you will have both your engagement and wedding blogs to see! I hope you enjoy the sneak peek - you two are adorable together! And so natural in front of the cameras. I love when our couples can "play" for the camera. This series on the playground is my favorite. Love the "Real Laughter" shot. And the color of these canoes is super fun. This is another favorite. The evening light was perfect! BLING! Good job Ty! So romantic...stay tuned for their wedding blog preview!

Terri (Ty's Mom)   |   07.06.08   |   I love the pictures too. They are soooooo photogenic! Someone said at the wedding that they will make beautiful babies! Amanda   |   07.07.08   |   Love the last one with them standing in the water!

Molly and Brian's Wedding

06.26.08

On Saturday, June 21st, we photographed Molly and Brian's wedding. The ceremony took place on the campus of Bucknell - at the beautiful Rooke Chapel, and the reception was held at The Genetti in Williamsport. It was a gorgeous June day, and everyone had an awesome time celebrating with the newlyweds. We couldn't ask for more! Molly and Brian, we have to admit that we often felt more like guests at your wedding than your photographers. You are two of the nicest and most genuine people, and we wish you nothing but the best as you begin your life together as husband and wife. Thank you for the opportunity to be such a special part of your wedding day. We hope you are having a blast in San Francisco -- and we hope you enjoy your sneak peek. With love and appreciation ~ Kris & Scott The guys in front of Rooke Chapel - with the parade of Honda Elements. Molly looked so beautiful and I loved her dress! The bridesmaids were stunning too, and the flower girls were too adorable. I love their "attitude" in this shot. Bond, James Bond. Brian was working the cameras. And so were the guys - I love this fun shot. Scott caught this cute expression Molly made at her husband-to-be from the back of the aisle. This was our first time photographing a wedding at Rooke Chapel. It is an amazing place to shoot - just flooded with natural light. A tearful moment, with "monkey tissues". My shot is on the left and Scott's is on the right. Reciting the vows... And then it was time for some outdoor portraits. Something classic... Something fun... Something romantic...we had fun with the under the veil shots. Then we were off to the reception. Scott got this great ring shot while dinner was being served. The first dance... I caught this moment, which is one of our favorites. We love that you can see Brian's mom looking on in the background. Molly and Brian had a Whoopie Pie cake. Molly couldn't open it, so she improvised. Too cute! Adorable flower girl number one - love the motion of this shot. And adorable flower girl number two - they were all over the dance floor! I love this moment - their smiles say it all. And this one, it is one of my favorite candid slow dance moments ever - it just radiates love and happiness. Congratulations Molly and Brian!

Love the concept of the Whoopie Pie cake too and Molly ripping it open with her teeth! Elmendorsey   |   06.26.08   |   Beautiful Wedding!! You guys really captured some great moments! Bev Bauer   |   06.29.08   |   What a gorgeous wedding. So romantic -- nothing staid or contrived. The shot of the rings is very nice. I hope their life together is as romanitc and beautiful as their wedding day.

Little Miss Personality

06.20.08

Yesterday I had my first photo shoot since giving birth to my daughter 3 weeks ago. While it was very hard to leave her, I knew she was in good hands (Daddy's!), and I was also very excited to see some of my favorite repeat clients! I have photographed Abby for the past 3 years, since she was just a year old, and I just adore her and her mom, Lyndell. She is now 3, and she is definitely Little Miss Personality. Not to mention totally ADORABLE! This is one of the first pictures I took, and it's definitely one of my favorites. We did the shoot at Fort Hunter Park in Harrisburg, and we started off by smelling the flowers. Then Lyndell picked one and gave it to Abby. Well, I don't think either of us realized that Abby was holding it for nearly 2 hours, but this little white flower ended up in every single picture in which you could see her hands. Too cute! For only three years old, Abby was very aware of the camera. She loved seeing herself on the lcd screen. This is one of my favorite running shots ever! I just love her smile and her curls! And her long eyelashes are just gorgeous. I had to work a little for this shot, which was taken in the covered bridge. I love Abby's serious look - she looks like a little model. And notice the flower is still there. Another great serious face. This is another one of my favorites, although I definitely don't think I could pick just one. What a darling expression. I think she was pretending she was a "Volcano Sister", and she told me I was "good" and therefore allowed to pass through the gate.
