Pet Photography

Two weeks ago I photographed a couple session with Pat, Hillary, and their dog Scarlet, a cute and very spunky Weimaraner. We were working with some pretty rough conditions that day at Frontier Park; you know, typical Erie winter weather! It was freezing, snowing, and VERY windy. You can even see the snow blowing sideways in the second photo! But we made it work and got some great pictures. Thanks guys!

Ashley & Sam's Engagement Pictures

Not long ago I started including a free engagement session with my wedding photography packages. This was a great decision because now I get to spend time with my future bride and groom besides the initial consultation meeting. We get to know each other a little better and it takes any weird unfamiliarity out of the mix.

Recently I had the privilege of taking engagement pictures of Sam and Ashley who are getting married in May 2009. We were hoping to capture some downtown Erie portraits in the snow, but after arriving to a green and brown Perry Square we quickly moved on. (You never know what you'll get with the good old Erie weather!) But we found the steps of the Erie Court House and the Cathedral of St. Paul Church across the street to be the perfect spot. They also brought their dog "Twist" along who did very well with having his pictures taken.

I had a great time guys and can't wait til May!

Welcome to Penny Photo's Blog

Hello,

I am deciding to go ahead and try blogging again. Over the past year I was crazy busy with wedding, senior, children, and family photography and didn't have any time to do regular posts. Also, being a work-at-home mom of a 1 year old has kept me from having much extra time at all. Like every toddler, she is on the move and into everything, but is the joy of our lives. I am now finding that I have little slivers of time and will try this again. We'll see how it goes!

I plan on posting pictures from some of the sessions and weddings I have recently photographed very soon. The many weddings I have captured in the Erie, PA area and the surrounding area have really showed me that I am in the right place doing what I love. The beautiful brides and grooms, as well as their bridal parties, have been so great and willing to have fun. Thank you to everyone!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is only 10 days away! My husband and I are very excited to share the holiday with our daughter and our families. The image here is our Christmas card we sent out this year. Have a Blessed Holiday!
