Rita + Min + Andrew — Family Portraits — Brady’s Run Park — Beaver County PA Photographer

I so look forward to sessions with Rita and her mom and dad! I just love seeing how Rita has changed in just 3 months.

Min, Andrew, + Rita – Family Portraits – Brush Creek Park – New Brighton, PA

Our original session was canceled due to rain, and maybe I should have canceled this one due to crazy humidity (just kidding - that's no excuse!), but you really can't tell that we were all sweating our butts off! And Rita is so stinkin' cute, I quickly forgot about the sticky weather. The combo of … Continue reading Min, Andrew, + Rita – Family Portraits – Brush Creek Park – New Brighton, PA

Rita is 1 – First Birthday Session – Family Portraits – Beaver, PA

Since last February when I first met Min and Andrew when they were pregnant with Rita, I've been visiting them every 3 months this year to capture Rita's first year. And it has been such a pleasure!

Hannah is 3 – Brady’s Run Park – Children Portraits – Beaver County, PA Photographer

I cannot believe Hannah is 3 already! Yikes! Time flies! I first met Hannah when she was at her mom's cousin's wedding that I was shooting. It was actually the first wedding I'd shot on my own, so I guess you could say Hannah has seen Elders Ridge Photography from its infancy when she was … Continue reading Hannah is 3 – Brady’s Run Park – Children Portraits – Beaver County, PA Photographer

Rita Newborn Portraits — Beaver, PA

I don't know about you, but I love babies! So photographing newborns is just tops in my book! (yes, I said "tops" like this is 1920 or something). I love their little cries, their crazy hair (or bald heads in some cases!), and how they can just snuggle up and pass out anywhere. Makes me … Continue reading Rita Newborn Portraits — Beaver, PA

Brittany + Garrett — Engagement Portraits — Beaver, PA

Early Sunday morning a few weeks ago, Brittany and Garrett met up with me at this river-front park in Bridgewater. When we started talking about where to do the shoot, I brought up this park.
