James – 9 Months – 1.24.10

The weather for James’s 9 month shoot was less than ideal being January in Pennsylvania so while we were sad to be inside, I was very excited to get to use my new backdrops. While they may not be ideal for every shoot they were a fun change from the normal nursery or living room background.

We have two more shoots left until his Watch me Grow package is complete so be sure to check back for those.

The Quirk family is fairly well known on my blog and here are a few shots from a family shoot I did with them back in the fall. They wanted to head somewhere that would have the colorful fall leaves in the background so what better place than Valley Forge National Park.

Bread and Badger Glassware

With wedding season in full swing I thought I would share a website with you that I found a while back that may help you brides and grooms out there find a unique gift for your bridal party or guests. It is called Bread and Badger and they sell a variety of etched glassware from pint glasses to shot glasses to salt and pepper shakers. They offer a variety of funky and artistic stock designs as well as custom orders (take about 1-3 weeks to create and ship). They make great gifts for anyone (not just wedding related) so take a minute and check them out!

Here are some of my favorites…(all photos are copyright of bread and bader and were taken from the Bread and Badger website. I did not take any of these photos myself).

Patrice & Shawn – Engagement Session – Peace Valley Park – 11.1.10

Katrina Brown Photography — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:18:29 +0000

I met up with Patrice & Shawn on a chilly fall day in November at Peace Valley Park to do their engagement session. Despite the cold weather, these two were all smiles. We had a beautiful sky and vibrant fall colors which made for a great backdrop. These two have officially been husband and wife for a little over two weeks now so be sure to check back for images from their gorgeous wedding at the Hotel Hershey!

Long Beach, NY – 10.25.09

Katrina Brown Photography — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 01:18:17 +0000

In October I went up to NYC for the Photo Plus Photography expo and then went out to Long Beach to stay with my good friends Jodi and Tom for the night. They have the pleasure of living one block from the beach. The end of October and the beach aren’t really two things that go together but the guys were getting up early to go surfing so Jodi and I tagged along with our camera’s to keep ourselves entertained. I was surprised at how many people were out in the water surfing. Even with the wetsuit you couldn’t pay me enough money to get in the water when it’s that cold. It’s sort of rare that I get a chance to just mess around with my camera anymore because I am always shooting for clients. It was nice to take some fun shots that I could actually go crazy in Lightroom and Photoshop messing around with actions. I’m pretty sure people would kill me if I did this to their wedding photos but for something like this it was perfect!

I am no expert on surfing but standing in waist high water with waves this high crashing over your head doesn’t seem like fun but Travis was loving it.

These guys kept apologizing for walking into my shot but it just wouldn’t have been the same without them there.

And last but not least here is one of Tom & Travis heading back out for some more waves.

Summer is just around the corner so think warm thoughts. More beach and surfing photos to come I’m sure!

Michele & Jon – Joseph Ambler Inn – 10.10.09

Michele and Jon got married at the beautiful Joseph Ambler Inn which is nestled in the middle of bustling North Wales, PA. Having worked at the front desk of the Inn for almost 3 years, but never shooting a wedding there, I was very excited when I found out their location. The Inn is made up of 5 individual buildings holding both guest rooms and a fine dining restaurant. Michele and Jon were having a very small and intimate affair with only immediate family in attendance. Their ceremony and reception both took place in the cozy John Roberts House. Before the ceremony started we were able to get some individual portraits as well as some some shots of the homemade decorations.

They handmade these owls to use as name cards on the tables. They also made for a cute backdrop for a shot of their rings.

Michele and Jon live out of state so they made most of their arrangements over the phone site unseen. She gave the florist some color ideas but had absolutely no idea what her flowers were going to end up looking like until that morning. Needless to say The Rhoads Garden in North Wales did an amazing job because this is one of my favorite bouquets to date and Michele was thrilled!

The ceremony took place in the living room area in front of the large stone fireplace.

After the ceremony we took everyone outside for some family shots on the front porch.

Since only the family was in attendance we had plenty of time to walk around the property with just Michele and Jon to get some photos of the happy bride and groom.

After making a pit stop to get their photo with the carved bears we headed back behind the Thomas Wilson House where we were lucky enough to find the family of wild turkeys that live in the woods behind the property. We had to take a photo of them because Jon didn’t think anyone would believe us when we returned back to the reception telling everyone we saw a group of wild turkeys. Well Jon here you go!

We finally headed back to the house so they could enjoy their luncheon.

Thank you to Michele and Jon for inviting me along on your special day! It was great working with both of you! To check out the photos from their Old City Philadelphia engagement session click HERE.
