Lancaster County central park


From this day forward, I’m going to start each blog post with a Thank You. Every time I meet a new family, whether it’s for a walk in the woods or in a backyard or downtown, I always leave fully charged up. Happy people being themselves and sharing the love always puts a smile on my face. This session was no different.


Kerri reached out to me after another photographer (thanks, Mike 😉) sent her my way. She wasn’t sure where to go, so I shared a few of my favorite local spots and she chose my go-to. We met at Lancaster County Central Park, just outside of Lancaster City. This time of year there are so many wonderful places to explore. I could shoot there for a month and never repeat the same spot.


The kiddos made these images super fun. Bria brought the fantastic imagination and Wes brought the bravery. With a little bit of play and a little bit of wandering, we found all the good spots and made some unique images together.


Have a scroll to see what I mean.
