Nicole + Lee : Richmond, Va : 2300 Club : Wedding :

I’m going to keep this post writing section short and sweet. There are tons of images and I’d like to get right to them but first a little bit about Nicole and Lee. Nicole aka Pipi (yes, she always had pigtails) and I have been friends since we were 15..16…she’s a Lancaster Catholic girl and I’m a CV girl. Most of my super, close, tight friends came from other school districts. I think it’s pretty cool. We all had like, five different families. We could always find free food! Anyways, I spit to Pittsburgh for college, Nicole Philadelphia. We’ve kept in touch over the years, visited each other at the opposite sides of the state. Then four years ago Pip decided to move to Richmond, Va. I thought it was pretty cool of her, very brave to up and move. She had some friends already down there and she could transfer with work, she’s a H&M girl! (Where’s my discount by the way?)

Fast forward to a couple of months ago when I see “Pipi cell” calling me. I thought sweet it’s been awhile since I talked to Pip. “Hey Krisha, what are you doing September 26th?”,   “Ummm, nothing I don’t think” , ” Want to shoot my wedding? It’s in Richmond, VA”, “Heck ya!”

Nicole’s dress was custom designed for her by her co-maid of honor, Hannah Taylor. Hannah created Nicole’s dress out of linen! Hannah also made the outfits for the bridesmaids. Check out her work, she’s pretty awesome.

My love to you Pipi!

Oh wait, I should mention Nicole’s friend hand made all of their necklaces and bracelets. Here’s Jenny showing off her personalized jewelry. Nice!

Carson : Three Month : Session Fun

It’s amazing how quickly newborns change, grow and discover. Carson has really grown since his  newborn session. He’s gained some baby fat and strength! He did really well during his three month session, belly ache and all. Carson’s latest body part discovery is his tongue. Super cute! His tongue is in full stick out mood but I managed to get a couple of shots of him laughing and cooing. I’m really looking forward to his five month session and praying for snow for his shoot. How much fun?!

While processing Carson’s blog post I played around with my newly updated Totally Rad Actions and Dirty Pictures. Super fun! I feel like it brings some excitement and life to my processing pains, lol. I love my Mac but some days I really miss getting my hands dirty literally with processing chemicals. I feel a dark room in my future…..

Melissa +Neal : Lancaster City : Engagement Session

This past Sunday evening had the best light! I’m so happy I got to experience this with Melissa and Neal. I’m really looking forward to their February 2010 wedding. I’ve known Mr. Neal Rice since Jr. High school. Want to know a secret? Neal and I are two hours older than each other. Don’t quote me but I think Neal is older… This means he hits 30 before I do next year but that’s not what we’re talking about here! (sorry had to rub it in!!) So these two April 21st babies hit the streets with the lovely Melissa.

There are people and connections in your life that you hold dear to your heart. Neal is one of them. When he called me to tell me he was engaged I had a semi big sister moment inside. I believe the words inside my head were “alright, let me meet this girl.” We set up our consult and as we talked I knew instantly that she was perfect for him. They both have huge hearts, huge smiles and huge laughs. Most importantly they are going to make some BEAUTIFUL babies!!

I wish you two the best and am so grateful to be part of your day. All my love!!

Conversation while taking this image; Me “guys, ok face me, straight on, how about some not so smiley, serious look”.  Neal “Miss you’re smiling aren’t you”.  Melissa “Oh, ya, I am. It’s so hard not to”. Neal “Melissa”! Crack me up!

Neal wanted to do the Dirty Dancing lift. The timing of this shot is ironic considering we lost Patrick Swayze on Monday. So to you Mr. Swayze here’s our tribute….the best we could…..

And after that lift, this reminds me the most of Baby and Johnny.

Ceci : Senior Session : Downtown Lancaster, PA

Ceci and I hit the town for her senior session. Ceci allowed me to have full creative freedom, which is truly appreciated. I had a couple of spots in our neighborhood I want to scope out and use. Worked really well!

Ceci has headed into her senior year at Lancaster Catholic High School. It’s an exciting time for her as her future is bright and wide open…ahh…miss those days, lol. Ceci was joined by her sister Lexi ( a sophomore at PSU) an their dog Zeppo. I had a good time hanging out with the three of them and I wish the Miller girls a successful school year. Don’t forget your neighbor as you two grown up and start paving your own ways!

Love ya! Ps- Cemetery shoot, it’s on..when are we doing it? !! November?

Gorgeous Ceci, not so little anymore!

Beautiful Lexi..I am so photographing your wedding, no pressure, lol. Whenever that happens, I’m just saying!

I heart sisterly love. Speaking from experience. Sorry Lexi had to post this one! (joke is that little sister is taller then big sister, sounds like my world)
