Marian and Maddy

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be asked by my boss's wife for some surprise portraits for his Father's day gift. It was so awesome that they chose me out of all the photographers in the area, especially for something so important. Thanks for the opportunity guys! We had so much fun.

Father's Day

This past weekend a close friend from work and her daughter decided to surprise Daddy! Here are a few of my favorites.

First 5K

I'm proud to say that I, a month after having knee surgery, was able to run and finish my first 5K on Saturday. It was quite an experience but I loved it! All the benefits raised went to the Colorectal Cancer Department at the Hershey Med Center. It was such a great accomplishment-hopefully one of many more to come.

ACS CAN

I had the honor of photographing for an American Cancer Society Action Network event.  Here are some photographs of those who chose to take part in a portrait session that evening.  

Relay For Life Special

As many of you know, my full time job is working for the American Cancer Society. Right now, we all are fundraising for the yearly Relay For Life. With that in mind, and the economy down the drain, our fundraising efforts are necessary to be able to continue to support the financial need of cancer patients. I am running a family portrait session special that includes a complimentary 8x10 for $25 with any other sheets at a discounted price, all proceeds benefitting ACS Relay For Life. If anyone is interested, please contact me at 717.503.6312 for details. Thanks in advance for helping our efforts.

Baby Braydon

The little guy finally arrived, and in style.  Braydon is only two weeks old and already moving like a pro, plus holding his head up.  Here's a few from our small shoot the other week.

If it can, IT WILL

So, its definitely official that anything that could possible be thrown in my direction, has been and continually will present itself.  Today I found out that I will be having the first of my two knee surgeries on May 1.  Although I have been dealing with knee issues for over ten years, I didn't think it was too bad until recently when I began training for a 5K with a friend of mine.  The pain became so constant I finally gave in to the warnings of friends and family.  They were right.  My knees are so damaged from constant activity from my youth that surgery is the only remaining option for me.  In layman's terms-my knee caps shift out of the groves where they should be and cause pressure and pain on my knee.  My surgeon will use a scope and slice the tissue to hopefully relieve stress on my knee cap so it will pull back into place. For all those smart people out there, this procedure is called knee scope with lateral release.  SO... this means no 5K .... at least not this year.  Hopefully my recovery time will be about a month and then its on to knee #2.  I'm pretty sure that my number HAS got to come up soon.  Maybe just once I'll catch a break.
