Where to start?

My always-too-short trip home to PA had me mixing photo shoots with family visits... and sometimes a combination of the two!  The next two blog posts were senior portrait shoots with my niece and my cousin... talk about making me feel old!  Seniors!  Ready to graduate!  Sheesh.  Anyway, Lexi and I were... maybe... trespassing just a liiiiiittle bit on the railroad tracks that specifically said no trespassing :)  Lucky for us, the state trooper drove by us just as we were pulling onto the road in our trusty get-away vehicle!  Personally, I think the photo was worth it ;)      ~MPC

I felt so showered...

 ... at my baby shower this week.  Muchos gracias to my aunts and relatives that helped out my mom with handmade cookies, decorations, and of course all the attendees!  And, check out this cake!  Diana Reitz of www.reitzcakesforyou.webs.com designed my cake for the shower (and pink bows were added of course because all the animals are girls!).  Although, if you know my husband, you would know that baby on the top is far too pale to be a replica of ours ;)         ~MPC

 

My future son-in-law?

Remember Preston from his newbie shoot three months ago??  It's amazing how quickly they grow up... gaining personality and attitude :)  After three outfit changes and a couple of full diapers, we were able to get a few giggles... by asking him if he wanted me to be his mother-in-law someday!  I love gaining friendships out of photo shoots... and the awesome photos are obviously a nice perk, too :)    ~MPC    

Allison & Kris tie the knot!

Congrats to a goooorgeous bride and her new hubby Kris!  These are Gavin's parents... the cutie I shot just a few weeks ago :)  This couple wouldn't let a little rain (and a LOT of humidity) spoil their wedded blissful nuptials this past weekend.  The bride rivaled a stunning '50s pin-up girl, and the groom had moves I have only seen by the Jabberwockies!  Cheers to many years of blissful marriage to the happy couple :)       ~MPC

 

One for me, and one for.... me!

This handsome little devil is Landon.  We spent some time this week at the park feeding the duckies...  although I think Landon ate more of the crackers than the ducks did  :)  Mom specially bought super cute little sunglasses for his oh-so-adorable outfit... then promptly forgot them at home!  I think it's ok though.... I happen to prefer his big baby blues ;)   ~MPC
