“The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.”
It was the Fall of 2000, and I was basically a green, clueless freshman trying to find my way around campus on a country that at that time was foreign to me. Somewhere along the way that freshman year I met Timo & Christin, and we became friends. Christin was also good friends with my wife Winny (whom at the time I didn’t even meet yet)

They grew up together. Their families grew up together. There were little moments throughout their lives that nudged them toward each other yet they resisted. Such as getting into trouble at the park after dark (wink 
) But deep down, Mike & Alison knewthey were supposed to be together. So one day, at a porch, Mike asked Alison to date him. And everyone cheered. And they were in love. Weeks turned into months and months turned into years, and deep down, Mike & Alison knew they were supposed to be together. Forever. So one day, at a porch, Mike asked Alison to marry him.
The drive up to Lititz was brutal. I was late to our shoot, and the stream of cars in front of me didn’t look too encouraging either. And I was nervous. Real nervous. Because I was about to do my first ever senior portraits.

Before I start doing weddings I often read horror stories on how awful and difficult some couples can be to work with.. it honestly scared me a little bit when I first read about them. But you know what? That has not been my experience! In fact, it’s pretty much been the opposite. I often tell people how blessed I am to be working with some of the coolest brides and grooms on the planet.

From the first time I met Tom & Michelle, I could tell immediately that they just adore each other. They spoke of how they met each other, became friends, and lovers. They shared their passion for the outdoors and nature (they’re going to South Africa for their honeymoon!! I’m jealous!! ) They wanted their wedding pictures to be different, not the usual run-of-the-mill pictures they see all the time. They stressed how important the wedding images are for them. We then scheduled an engagement session because they wanted to have a picture to be displayed on their wedding day (a great idea, by the way,) and we picked Easter Sunday to hang out @ Fells Point to do just that.

A couple of weeks ago, in the midst of some really yucky weather, I had the privilege to visit Adam & Hannah at their wonderful home to capture their first official family photos since Jayden was born! Jayden is a trooper. I mean, Adam dug a hole after the snowpalooza 2010 and put a 2-week old Jayden there for a picture, and he slept through the whole thing. Is that awesome or what? My wife would probably kill me if I tried to do the same thing to Jackson. But I digress.
