This little guy was such a joy to photograph. He wasn't into it at first, but quickly warmed up to me. He loved sticking his tongue out and was all smiles when it was time for cake. The amazing, It's A Piece of Cake! made his smash cake and if you know me then you know that I get ALL my cakes from her. Hands down the best around!! I highly recommend. Anyways, enjoy a few teasers from his session.
I am so excited to share this session with you all. This couple booked their 2016 wedding with us just a couple of months ago, and thank goodness they did! They are such a great example of a Tiptoe couple! They are so in love, so happy, and willing to go the extra step to make some great images! All that we could ask for!
So for their engagement session, they took me back to a place I haven't been in years! Like not since I was roaming the streets of Shepherdstown as a Jr. High Schooler! Walking into town after school was the cool thing to do, so of course me and my group of girlfriends would do it. We would go to Tony's pizza have a snack and then roam to wherever our hearts desired. Sometimes this would be Sky's the Limit, the Town Run, the river access behind Shepherd College, and sometimes it would be the Rumsey Monument, which is where we went for this session! And with the exception of a couple of picnic tables, it was just the same as all those years ago. (On a side note, what were our parents thinking, letting 12-14 year olds roam the town for a couple of hours after school? Anyway...) We picked the perfect time of evening because towards the end of our session the sun was setting behind those trees and it was magical!! We walked around for over an hour using all the little spots the area offered. They had such great ideas for pictures too, including the "Rocky" picture I included! I love, love, love that they would do everything I asked and they would do it with a twist to showcase their personalities! These guys were so much fun and I can't even wait to see how much fun their wedding is going to be! Enjoy!!
I loved meeting this couple at our studio just a couple weeks ago to do their wedding consultation. And I super loved to hear that they are booking with Tiptoe!! So being that they live out of town, we had their engagement session right away! We decided that their beautiful family farm, where the wedding will be taking place, was the perfect location. We also knew that we wanted to include their furry baby in some of the pictures. They warned me he would be wild but I think they were fibbing on that baby, he was perfectly mannered! 🙂 Enjoy some of my faves from the shoot!
I was recently given the privilege of helping the Isenhart Family welcome their newest addition, and boy is he a cutie! Brace yourself ladies, he is sure to be a little heart breaker... or a handsome little hunter. 😉 
Congratulations, to Katie and Brandon on their handsome little bundle of joy. You have a beautiful family!
Teasers for the lovely LaVigne family! Enjoy!
I am loving all these Tiptoe senior sessions this year, and Mikayla is one of my favorites! We took her brothers senior photos several years ago, and little did we know the adventure we were in for... Wesley volunteered for the Shepherdstown Fire Dept, so we knew we wanted that to be one of our backdrops, however while we were there shooting, they got a call, and we actually got to photograph the helicopter that ended up landing right in back of the station... It was such a one in a lifetime experience!
I knew that Mikayla's session needed to be just as memorable! We started off in town and got some amazing shots, but then we headed out to the ball field, Mikayla's second home (she is quite the talented softball player)... AND the sunset magic was upon us... Oh and so was Daisy the cow! Who was quite a hit...every car that was pulling out after practice stopped to greet her! "That isn't something we see everyday" is what we got a lot! I even got messages later that evening asking if it was me at the ball field. LOL... they saw a girl with a camera, a senior and a cow, and OF COURSE they would assume it was me! I love it! Daisy the cow has apparently been such a part of Mikayla's life for so many years, her parents say she is the friendliest cow ever, that frequently when Mikayla would get home from school as a kid Daisy would meet her at the end of the field and walk with her home, just like a puppy! Aww, if that isn't one of the cutest stories I have ever heard. Also just a little tidbit of information that I learned, Daisy was born a twin, and because of that she isn't able to have babies now (although they are still hoping for a miracle, because Daisy used to play mom to a pig, and would make an amazing momma.)
Here are just a couple of my favorites from the day guys! Enjoy! 
Ironically, I met the Mother of this precious baby boy for the very first time in Riviera Maya, Mexico almost a year ago. This world we live in, really is a small world...and I am so grateful! I am so blessed to have met Dana, and her husband Ben, who have allowed me the privilege of photographing their first born child.
Life is full of many blessings, and the Ashlock family has one more to count each day... Congratulations, Dana & Ben!
We shot Keith and Andrea's wedding last year. Andrea's sister had just found out she was expecting so it was nice to finally meet their newest member. Sean was such a ham, and Ms. Kennedi was quite the little diva! Check out some teasers from this wonderful family session. Enjoy!
I am so excited to share this seniors images... Not only was it by far the coolest day of August that we could've asked for.... It was also overcast!! Amazing! It made it so easy to say sure let's go out to the ball field for some shots. I didn't have to worry with any harsh shadows!! Gahh!
Chase's family is so incredibly special to me, they have been with Tiptoe for years, through family portraits, newborns, school shoots, to his sisters senior shoot a couple of years ago, basically we can just name a type of shoot and I am sure someone in his family has been there for it, as well as the Tiptoe Teaches classes. We have formed such a great bond on so much more than just a business level! I mean my daughter is swimming at their house right now as I am writing this post! LOL. They are definitely some of my favorite people EVER! Just another reason I am so in love with being a Tiptoe girl. I am lucky enough to meet these amazing people and make them my friends outside of business! God surely blessed me!
I could go on and on, but without further ado ... {Chase} Tiptoe Senior!
We have captured many milestones with this amazing couple. When they were seniors in high school, to their engagement photos, their wedding day, maternity, newborn, and now Mason's one year session. Man does time fly by. It has been such a blessing to be apart of their journey and I look forward to watching their little family grow. Here are a few teasers from Mason's birthday session. My gosh...what a little cutie he is. I mean look at those big baby blues!!
