Why do Professional Photographers cost so much?

I hear that question or some variation of it very often. I was going to type up a really good break down of costs to share with people then I found through the power of google some already pretty great explanations so I thought I would share those links with you all instead. While not exactly the same break downs as I have it is pretty darn close. Reading that reminded me just how expensive it is, and looking at the pile of receipts I have come tax time I should not be surprised...

Love these cuties

It was a great weekend from photography aspects, we won't talk about the rest...

Anyway I got the chance to pick up my friend Chels and her little girls and head to the local college campus to take some pictures. The weather was great and the girls were in a good mood. Of course they were full of the wiggles and staying still for pictures was not on the top of the list of things they wanted to do but I think we managed to capture a few shots that showcase their adorable personalities.

These little munchkins always make me smile.











I love the way she called her sisters yellow umbrella a Lellow Brulella (or something like that.)

Anticipation

All babies are a blessing from God. Sometimes it just feels like an even bigger blessing. My sweet freinds Dave and Emily have been waiting for several years now to have their lives blessed with a child so that they can grow their family. I have gotten to know them over the last four years while Dave attended Dental school. Well on May 14th Dave will gradutae and it just so happens that it is also the due date of their first child. Now how special is that?

Well we were lucky enough to get some true spring like weather yesterday and I picked up Emily and we headed over to Valley Forge park and captured these images of her. Isn't she just a beautiful Momma to be? I should also mention she is just as beautiful if not more so on the inside. Her and her dear hubby are just genuinely sweet people!!













And in a few weeks I will be photographing their sweet little boy they have waited so long to meet. I can't wait!!
