Chase’s First Birthday | Vintage County Fair | Duncansville Photographer

Happy first Birthday my sweet Chasey-bug!  We had a fantastic time at the County Fair on Saturday!  Ok, so I realize that he’s one….and will NOT remember this day, but it I do love to party-plan and his sisters and our family and friends WILL remember!  Our fair was complete with popcorn machine, snowcone machine, and hot dot roller.  We had cotton candy, games, prizes.  Fabric bunting draped the walls and cake.  Desserts included watermelon, caramel apples, and fruit pies.  Daisies in mason jars filled the center of the table covered in red check and burlap.  Everyone had a great time!  Happy sweet first birthday!

So I totally love this final picture of the day; the girls had changed from their cute fair-like outfits into play clothes, Makenzie was riding her bike and didn’t want to take off her helmet.  Then after  few shots Kendall screamed, ” I want to hold Chase.”  …….Cheese.

Aleka Ruggiero - Happy Birthday Chase! Love the party idea! Very cute!! Of course the pictures look amazing!

FAQ: I keep hearing the phrase “custom” photography; what does that mean?

Luxury.  High-end.  Personalized.

Custom photography service is simply MORE.  More than you could or would expect from a chain photography studio.

Now, custom photography may not be for everyone; it requires a great level commitment and investment.  Investment in both time and money.  [Please read Why does Custom Photography Cost More?]

Clients who enjoy taking an active role in preserving their families’ memories desire to have art that is truly personalized choose custom photography.  Those discerning clients have been known to budget and allot time for a custom photography session.  Many clients opt for a once-a-year special experience and others opt to record significant stages in their child’s life.  Other families save up to be able to splurge every few years to memorialize their children as they really are.

There is a great deal of time involved in creating high end custom photography sessions for a client.  Starting with the initial consultations via email; clients receive advice in planning a wardrobe and choosing a location (both of which help set the tone and style of the personalized session.)  During the 1-2 hour session, I help children (and husbands) relax and reveal their true self.  After the session, every image will be scrutinized and the best 20-35 images will be fully edited for contrast and rich color tones.  Finally, clients have the opportunity  to choose images for prints or other high-end art products.  I invest about 8-10 hours (or more) in every portrait session from original consult to ordering and delivery of prints.

Every print or product is created by the highest level of professional print labs.  Custom photography clients often choose large size custom-framed prints or gallery-wrapped canvases to use as artwork in their home.

Custom photography means giving you a high-quality photographic images during a session that is UNIQUE to YOU.

Let me create art of your life; then you will have art FOR your life.

Donato {3 days} | Newborn Photographer Altoona

I met Donato’s mommy (and daddy) about 2 weeks after we moved from our apartment in Pittsburgh to our new house (with our brand new twin girls) in Duncansville.   I was so scared of this new life we were starting.  We went to a new church for the first time, and within moments I met Tiffany and her daughter who was just a few months older than the twins.  Our friendship began that day and I am blessed to have her and her family in my life.

Tiffany has two daughters and didn’t know whether she was having a boy or girl, so when my phone buzzed on my desk with a picture text saying “meet Donato Dominic,” I had tears in my eyes.  I was so happy for her!!   With Donato’s arrival shortly before my trip to Seattle, we scheduled his modeling session at just 3-days old!  He was just perfect!

Kristine Gibson - It never ceases to amaze me the most wonderfullly beautiful pictures you take.. you capture the most precious moments. They are just beautiful.

Carly Ackinclose - Oh my goodness! These are perfect!! LOVE the little owl in the nest. Brantly said, “Look mommmy. Whooo, whoooo!” You are so talented!

Tiffany Fanelli - i’m speechless. It is even more amazing having pictures of my new baby boy taken by such a great friend! you exceeded any expectation i had 🙂 you have a wonderful talent, i’m so glad you pursued this! i really am speechless at how wonderful and amazing these are!!!

Barb Fanelli - So very precious! Great pictures Lindsey!

Dan Fanelli of Scottsdale AZ - WOW!! Fanellis make amazing babies! Such a warm feeling in my heart to see Donato’s awesome photos.
Love to the PA Fanellis,
Dan

Neela + Kylen {12 days} | State College Newborn Twins Photographer

Being a mom of twins and having the opportunity to photograph newborn twins is such a special treat!  Neela and Kylen were so sweet and did a great job of sleeping most of the time throughout the crazy posing, even when wrapped up next to each other!  Mom and Dad both took part in the session and I was grateful for both grandmothers who were present and helped so much in passing babies back and forth and putting them back to sleep!  What a special family!

Jes Sprouse - Lynds,
These pictures are AMAZING. They gave me the chills. I love the picture with them beside each other with their necklaces. And the one of them in the pea pod with her hand around him– they capture the beauty of life.
