Two Fridays ago I attempted video after several years and did a quick video of my daughter, Ari, playing that and put together this video that same evening. I was proud of the attempt and may try to do a 60 second video once per month.
Fall is Here ...
I did some early fall photos with Phil, one of my muses, last week as it has gotten cooler and the trees have started to change. I love fall but hate what comes after fall. But I am learning to stay in the moment and enjoy each season for what it brings.

Lantern Fest: York
In late July I had the opportunity to photograph another LanternFest, this time in York, PA. I took Ari along for the exhilarating experience.
My 3 Suggestions for Attending a LanternFest:
❉ Explore getting cheaper tickets on Groupon or Living Social.
❉ The lantern lightening takes places after sunset but I suggest getting there early, after the gates open to soak up the vibes, take advantage of the kids activities (face painting, costumed characters & bouncy houses) and make amores.
❉ Hang out after all the lanterns are in the air until the traffic out of the event location eases up.

Boudoir Styled Shoot
I participated in a styled Boudoir shoot a few weeks ago which was my first attempt at boudoir. I am very much a close up portrait photographer but loved capturing boudoir portraits but in my usual style.
I do love how such shoots allow for self love; embracing body ("imperfections" and all), sensuality and fun. I actually want to do one myself soon.
The team on the styled shoot were:
Host:Jessica
Models: Danae, Meghan, Kayln& Brittany.
Stylist: Susan
HMUA: Emily& Sarah | Florals: Farm Flowers
Calm Confidence: Cameron
"Every moment presents us with a choice:
Do this or that?
React this way or that way?
Believe this or that?
You aren’t a victim of life. The choice is yours: what do YOU want your life to look like?"
-Cameron Simcik
Cameron Simcik is a confident a life coach with a calm presence and joy in her laugh. Our shoot was full of laughter and deep conversation, my ideal.
"I think the small moments of joy are where the really beautiful, juicy parts of life live.
Listening to a loved one laughing
Having coffee with a friend
People watching on a park bench
Having a solo dance party in your kitchen
Joy creates ease, it creates flow, it creates perspective —
that life doesn’t always have to be so serious".
Cameron helps women tap into, trust and take action on their powerful inner wisdom. Focusing on infusing life with joy, flow and laughter.
