Pic of the Week.

OK, so the pic of the week was actually taken by my lovely wife, but I'm in it. Yeah, that's me left of middle. This is a group of people I went to high school with. We graduated 12 years ago together but haven't seen each other since. We haven't had a class reunion, but thank goodness for websites like Facebook and MySpace so we could reconnect and get together.

We ended up meeting up at a little bar back near where I grew up in Montgomery, PA. It was fun to see everyone and find out what they were up too. We had a pretty good time and are already thinking about doing it again next year.

Winter, go away!

OK, I hate the cold, but it creates some great photos. We went up to a little town in northern PA called Antrim to visit with family. While I was up there I got out on a little hike, just to take some pictures. It was bitter cold but a fun walk. I wish I would have seen more wildlife, but I guess they were smart and sleeping in at that time of the morning.

Some weeds breaking through the snow.


Orange leaves still hanging on through the winter.


Someone had a fun time with a four wheeler in this posted path I was on. I have a feeling it was my uncle.


A little creek winding back and under the path I was on.


A beautiful red flowering plant that I found.


A road leading down the mountain from Antrim. They stripped the trees off the side which gave this beautiful view down the mountain range.


My uncle's barn on the way back to the path I hiked.

Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to say a quick Merry Christmas to everyone. Here are two pictures from my Christmas day that I thought I'd share with everyone. Hope you had a happy and joyous holiday season!

A new ornament from the parent of one of my wedding clients. I love it! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Kehoe.

Pics of the Week.

I met up with my Lancaster Co Photographers Meet-Up group this past Saturday at the Lancaster Science Factory. One of the members, Janet, works there and was kind enough to let us in for free to shoot the place. I'll be donating a few pics to the non profit organization to hopefully help them with any marketing materials they may create in the future. I'm all for science, especially when it comes to teaching our kids.

After we went to Lancaster Brewing Co. (I've been there a lot lately) for a little lunch and photography talk. It was a good time and I got to meet a bunch of new peeps. That's what is the best about the group. It was a great time. I look forward to the January meet up and I hope everyone enjoys the couple pics I'm putting up in here.

Not sure what this was, it basically worked on gravity and just dribbled sand out on a black surface. Glad I don't have to clean it up.


This was a set up that allowed you to shine red, green or blue light or all at the same time from different angles on a subject. This was a white wire basket.


Not sure of the name of this, but it made a liquid tornado when the water went down out of the soda bottle into an attached soda bottle below.


Mmmmm, German Triple from LBC.

Pic of the Week!

OK, my pic of the week came about when I was looking through some pictures from our Philly trip a few months back. We stopped at my favorite cheese steak place in the world, Jim's Steaks! They are the best in Philly! Mmmmm, hungry for cheese steak now. Just picture my tongue hanging out and drool coming down right now.

Happy 30th Christy!

My friend Tim had a surprise 30th birthday party for his wife Christy on Saturday. We were happy to attend and take a few pictures for him. It was a good time had by all. Tim normally goes all out on his parties, and he made this one very special for his wife. Happy Birthday Christy!

The surprise. Shhhhhh.


Oh... drinking went on.


No house fire here, just a well placed "30".


Christy getting a kick out of a present.


The big 30! Happy Birthday Christy! Welcome to the club.

Pic of the Week! Happy Turkey Day!

OK, so I was pretty busy the last couple of weeks and missed a few Pic of the Week posts, sorry about that. Well, just thought I'd take this time and say that I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and that you're upcoming Holiday shopping is going well.

Oh, and this turkey below, he was tasty! I fried him up for some family that came over for the Thanksgiving holiday. We also watched the Macy's parade, some football and played some Wii. Hope you all had as much fun as I did!



And an extra pic, just because I love pumpkin pie!

The Sheaffers 50th Anniversary

I was contacted by Sheri Brainski with Lighthearted Events to photograph a 50th Anniversary for Dr. and Mrs. Sheaffer. The event was at the Yorktowne Hotel and they had no idea that their kids created such a wonderful event for them. Dr. and Mrs. Sheaffer actaully had their reception at the Yorktowne 50 years ago. They came into a small room that was set up for an hors d'oeuvres and were shocked into tears to see all of their family and friends from across the country. Figuring on just a small dinner they were expecting that or what came next. They were then shuffled down the hall to another, larger, room that was decked to the 9's. It was beautiful as you'll see. I was so happy to be able to photograph this event for them. Congratulations on 50 years!

A beautiful cake in a beautiful room at the Yorktowne Hotel.


Wraps on some Hersheys chocolate bars. Golden of course.


The tables at the Yorktowne looked spectacular! Good job Sheri!


The room was simply amazing!


A look of shock and surprise!


She was brought to tears.


Dr. Sheaffer had a great laugh after such a great surprise.


Then the real waterworks started after they were brought into the main room.


What a large great looking family!


A great looking couple, you can still see the love in their eyes for each other.


Kids chillin' on some steps outside the room.


The original wedding party. I had to sit the "flower girls" down to get them in. They grew up a bit since the wedding.


Their "First" dance.


Someone elses "First" dance?


The kids took over the dance floor after dinner.


Then the bride got into the fun.

Sealed the ending with a kiss.

The Burns Family

So, I went over to the Burns house for a family photoshoot. I work with Diane and her sister Shelly at Clipper. We went outside even though it was blustery and cold. Then inside for a few more pictures. Yes the dogs even got into a few pictures. It was a lot of fun, enjoy the pics.

Trying to get the dogs back inside so we didn't have to keep an eye on them.


What a good looking family!


Had to put the ham up front and center. As soon as I did, she clammed up.


Good outfit choice to have everyone in white shirts with jeans.


Diane and her daughters.


The group inside having fun.


Told ya the dogs got into the pics.


This is one of my favorites. A very beautiful house with a good looking family.

Pic of the Week!

So, the pic of the week is just my daughter, Alexa. She's been a little sick lately with a bad cough. I love her so much though! She's getting better with her little vaporizer thing. Isn't she precious in her little PSU cheerleader outfit, choking out her Raggedy Anne doll! :)
