Engagement Session | Robin + Brad

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing lovebirds Brad + Robin at Race Street Pier and at the Rodin + Barnes Museums. We were chased around the city by some scary looking clouds, but that only led to some romantic photos in the rain at the museum. Thank you to Brad and Robin for being troopers and trusting me to stick it out for a bit longer in the rain for some lovely photos!

Brad and Robin met 5 years ago at their local gym in Fairmount. After chatting for a few months, Robin was the one to ask Brad out! (Awesome move Robin!) However, when it came to popping the question, Brad got down on one knee during a hike at the Tyler Arboretum in October of last year and asked Robin to be his wife. (I think they are even now!) ;)

The future Mr and Mrs will be having an intimate ceremony and reception on October 18th, 2016 in the Outer Banks, NC surrounded by close family and friends during a week-long celebration in a large vacation rental estate. They are very much looking forward to some R&R at their romantic beach honeymoon. 

Brad and Robin, thank you for letting me document this special time in your lives. I hope you look back on these photos fondly for years to come! All my love to you on this amazing journey!

Please enjoy some of my favorite images from the day below.

Amrita Yoga | Portrait Session

My day does not feel complete without my daily dose of yoga. I am a huge fan of Amrita Yoga in Fishtown at Frankford & Girard. The variety of classes they offer, combined with the quality of instructors teaching them, all within the most beautiful studio is just PERFECTION! From Iyengar to Infrared... Reformer to Jivamuti... Yinyasa, Hatha Flow, Aerial Yoga and everything in between, Amrita offers classes for just about anyone and everyone interested in yoga and pilates at any level of experience. They also offer really interesting workshops, including a monthly workshop free to members, as well as in-house massage services.

With that being said, when asked to take some headshots of yoga instructors Heather and Meg to promote their awesome teacher training program, I jumped at the opportunity to work with such a great small business, and one I am quite fond of. Below are some of my favorites from our little shoot together, where we had so much fun! I loved working with these gorgeous women! I strongly recommend checking out their Summer/Fall 2015 Teacher Training Program HERE or just checking out one of their many awesome classes HERE! They even have an incredible New Student Package with one month of unlimited yoga and pilates + water bottle for only $40! You have no excuses now! ;)

Peaking through is the ever-so-adorable and well behaved Indie, Amrita's puppy mascot! He just had to be in this photo with Heather and Meg. I love him!

Gorgeous, lovely ladies! Heather Rice (left) and Meg Townsend (right).

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti! 

The Gemgnani-Ruppel Family

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing two close friends and their gorgeous daughter, Ryan, at Merion Botanical Park amongst the gorgeous fall foliage. We had such a fun day! Ryan was a little ham for the camera and such a quick scooter! She would win for fastest baby crawl in the baby olympics. She has clearly gotten her parent's athletic genes! I dare you not to smile when looking at her happy little face. I triple-dog dare you.

Here are some of my favorites from the day!

Heart = Melting. [That's just basic math.]

The Family photo wasn't complete without the puppy!
