After shooting Abigail & Eleanor's baby photos and then watching them both grow up over the years with photo shoot after photo shoot, it sadly came to an end when The Walkers moved down South =( Imagine both Shea AND my's delight, when she said they had a trip back up to PA planned over Mother's Day weekend. For what could possibly be our last photo shoot together, it was filled with play & wonder between these two sisters...perfect! =)

We had such a great time with Brandon & Chelise, I didn't feel sick the whole time....but you can bet, I crawled back into my sweats and climbed under a blanket on a couch the rest of the weekend ;) TOTALLY worth it! =D

For our final wedding of 2015, you can't get many more Seasons crammed into one day than Josh & Brittany's big day had....a gorgeous Fall day with all the colors of the leaves turned, as you would expect, as well as a light dusting of snow throughout the day.....actually more like sleet directly before the Ceremony began and a white-out after it ended! But none of that mattered when it came time to walk down the aisle, because the sun was shining and blue skies were out =D No matter what Season the weather seemed to be showing, Josh & Brittany's wedding was truly one for the memory books!

Thanks again! ~ April & Todd"
