My Beautiful Friends

My favorite hour of the day is between 6:30 and 8p.m. Whenever the sun is setting, the earth turns this beautiful shade of yellows and everything is set off in perfect hues. So this week I took my best friends out to play with my camera settings... this is what happened. 

Erin's Toms came to join us!

Erin is stunning. So funny when posing too!

even in black and white Emily is simply one of the most beautiful women I've ever known.

 

 

the three of us :)

Going out with them reminds me why I love summer so much. They are beautiful and taking pictures of them is the easiest thing in the world. This is joy... capturing memories.

Where I'm From

I'm a little reminiscent of fall at the moment so I thought I would upload some of the pictures that remind me of my favorite time of year. I took these while out with my sister one afternoon. The land around my home is beautiful, there is a reason people stay, return, and move to Central Pennsylvania.

Pickin' Wildflowers

No, it's not just the title of a country song..
Spent an afternoon picking wildflowers with one of my best friends in the world, Brandon Hertzler. If there was one person in the world who has a better eye for contrast and finding beauty in the simple things, I don't know of one. Here are just a few of the pictures we took.

Brandon excited about his find!

final product!
