It’s  been way too long since I’ve blogged and you have to forgive me. I’ve been busy… but I’ve also been on a 3 week vacation to Puerto Rico so I understand if you don’t forgive me for that part  ;)

The week after I got back from vacation I met up with Julie (from Julie Marie Portraits) and her adorable family! Josh is from Pittsburgh so even though he’s a Steelers fan (I’m all Eagles, all the time), we had a great time. Baby Jake is so adorable and check out those cheeks – tell me you don’t want to pinch them! Julie, thank you so much for allowing me into your family for a few hours – I hope to see you again soon! Here’s a teeny tiny little peek from their session:

Sonya’s a cute little teacher and Brandon is awesome because he fixes arcade games. They’ve known each other since they were 12 years old and Brandon even went to her prom with her! We had our engagement session tonight at Peace Valley Park around sunset and it was absolutely gorgeous, just like them :] I’m going on vacation tomorrow for a little over two weeks but I promised I would have some of my favorites up on the blog for them so here they are!

We started our day at the Art Museum and I swear their model sides came out. I, like always, gave a little bit of guidance but everything else is all them. We ended the day at the old Uptown Theater right as the sun set – maybe a few of those photos will be in a second entry! I just wanted to get a little sneak peak up for them before I leave for vacation on Monday. Loren and Chad, I can’t wait to shoot your wedding in a few weeks!

As Catherine and her girls got ready, she never stopped smiling! I don’t think I saw a frown on her face or any sign of stress. Instead she was a ball of pure happiness and excitement – like she should be! The ceremony and reception were held at the Bensalem Country Club and everything was just about perfect – from the weather to the details to all of the adoring guests. My favorite part of the day was that Dan and Cat had their English Bulldog greeting their guests in his little tuxedo!

Dan and Cat, I wish you nothing but the best and I hope you’re having an amazing time in the Dominican Republic :)

Growing up as an only child, I’ve always admired the bond between siblings. I had such an awesome time with them and they were all troopers and braved the horrible heat to get some great shots! I can’t wait to see you guys in a few weeks at the wedding with Ayesha :)
