Custom USB | Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

I am so excited to finally be able to share these with you all!  This blog post has been a.long.time. in the making.  Try since last year!  Yes, I am not kidding.  It has literally been that long.

I went through several different USB companies, but I really didn't feel like the drives were me, you know?  They were mass manufactured and only orderable in bulk orders.  Nothing wrong with that, but you all know me.  I want custom, unique, individual to each of my dear clients.  That is, after all, why I am a boutique photographer!  :)  I was just about to give up my search, when I got an email from my professional print lab- Miller's.  They are just fabulous!  Well, guess what that email contained!  Yep, you guessed it.  New.  Custom.  USBs.

The answer to all of my prayers.  A completely customizable USB drive and box that screamed:  "ME!"  SWOON!

 The boxes are natural and crafted with the utmost attention to detail! I love, love, love them!  The wood is so crisp and clean- it is perfect to guard all of your precious memories!

The USB is a 16GB wooden with luxe turned edges and a magnetic attaching cap.  Each set will come completely customized for your event and is also available in an 8GB.  I double love, love, love these USBs!!

I also feel the need to *rave* about Miller's shipping!  SO fast, folks, SO fast!  If you are a photographer, go check them out!!  Tell them Bella Vita Photography sent you <3

This custom USB and keepsake box is part of our customized wedding packages and will also be available for any of our photography services as an additional feature, so don't hesitate to ask!

Without further a due, here they are:

Bert & Nina | Wedding Photographer Hershey, Pa

I was so excited when Nina emailed me!  She and Bert are already married, but they missed out on the awesome engagement sessions, sooooo cue Sarah's entry!  :)

I was happy to oblige her request for awesome engagement style photos before they move across the country for Bert's job!

P.S. I think they did an awesome job of now showing how C.O.L.D. it was the day we shot these images!!!  :D  I think it was perfect timing for them to be able to get super snuggled in for some cozy shots!

Enjoy.

Shireman Family Session | Family Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

So, recently I have been working on updating my blogs from the busy fall season.  I had planned to keep up with them, but it was a. lot. of. work.  I felt like my clients' edits, images, and a timely delivery took precedence over the blog, so here I am.  In the "off" season {mind you, this is just as busy- what a blessing!}, catching up on my fall blogs.

This one blog in particular, I have been saving until the end.  Not because I didn't want to blog about this family; in fact, the exact opposite is the case.  I had so. much. to say, I had *no* idea where to start.

Michele is a client I met through another client {client referrals = super happy Sarah}.  She was just the sweetest. person. ever! She wanted to do some updated family images and at the end, she asked me to photograph a lantern release ceremony for her family.

Being that I was about a month and a half away from meeting my own son, I was already highly emotional, but this request really did touch my heart.

More. than. she. will. ever. know.

So, of course, I said yes. :)

I hope you enjoy these images from the Shireman family's session.  They are so raw and full of emotion.  You can *feel* it in your soul.








 These next two images just take. my. breath. away.

I am so honored that I have clients that allow me to be part of such a special, emotion filled, personal event in their lives.  I have said it a hundred times, and I will undoubtedly say it a hundred or two more: I. love. my. job.


UPDATE:: (since I am so far behind, this has become a current post!)  I am super happy to report that any day now this awesome family will be welcoming a new addition!  Michele, I can't wait to meet your little guy and capture all of his newborn sweetness.  Thank you again for allowing me to capture such an important part of your lives.  I am honored.

V Family Fall Session | Family Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

I met this family at Fort Hunter on a beautiful fall afternoon!  I cannot believe how much these little fellas have grown since I last saw them, earlier this year!

I learned all kinds of cool new details about Fort Hunter while we were walking around on our session- their dad was FULL of really cool details!  :)

Here are a few shots from their session!  Enjoy.
