Danielle & Jason Engagement Shoot

Okay.. not sure what it is however we LOVE photographing red heads.. male or female.. doesn't matter. Turn up the vibrance setting a little bit and touch up any coloring needed on his/her eyes and it's truly beautiful regardless of the setting. Enough of my soapbox chatter:) Danielle and Jason had contacted us about shooting their wedding in October and were also in search of some engagement pictures. With a great balance of a beautiful blue sky and fantastic rock structures, Rocky Ridge Park in York County was the perfect setting to make this happy couple look great!

Carol & Tom

Some of the best things about being able to photograph weddings is being able to see everyone at their absolute best, complete raw joyus emotions, and the blessing of having your closest friends and family able to share in your celebration. One of our personal joys at MMP was the privilage to photograph our Aunt's wedding held at her daughter's house in Dover, PA. It was a small intimate ceremony to which despite this not being the first marriage for Carol or Tom, still brought on the raw emotions shared by those going through his/her first or third marriage. Always remember to keep your big day focused to the two of you, never getting caught up in the wrong color of flowers, a stain on your dress, or the song being played. You'll find that during your celebration, as shown with all of our fantastic events thus far, as soon as you see each other it just doesn't matter:)

Kayce & Brett

What an AWESOME couple! Both Kayce and Brett were fantastically photogenic and definitely shed a musical influence into each detail! Despite the smoldering humid day we were able to capitolize on the great elements found in the local church landscape.. i.e.. the detailed skate ramp! MMP wishes the two of you only the best!

Hassinger Sisters at the Capitol Complex

This afternoon we had the fortunate pleasure of doing a portrait session for the Hass sisters who were looking for a surprise for their parents wedding anniversary! A late afternoon jaunt around the capitol complex created a fantastic backdrop to create some free spirited poses while catching some beautiful natural light. Enjoy!

MMP's Senior Portrait Special for 2009

In my opinion, nothing is worse than paying too much for a cookie cutter photo session with lukewarm prints to show for it! We've done our research and again, will remain stuck to our passion of providing great photographs for all, regardless of budget, unlike our friendly local competitors! Three of the top local cookie cutter photo studios are offering seriously overpriced senior packages ranging from the minimalistic shoot of one pose and sixteen prints for over $100 dollars (not including the sitting fee mind you) to the outrageous "premium" package (with limitations of course) for only $475 dollars!


So here at MMP we've accepted the challenge and are extending a senior portrait package that exceeds in both price and comparison. Here's what the premium package at Big Al's* (Name changed to protect the innocent) Photography located in Central PA, consists of for your hard earned $475:

Family Ties

I love my family. Not only because they call me when they need photo's done but because I can ask them to do pretty much anything for the sake of a beautiful photo and they graciously comply! My oldest cousin Christina needed some shots done for her mother showcasing her recent accomplishments taken home from a baton competition. So of course this turned into a semi-looking senior portrait session even though.. well... she's only 15.. and not yet a senior. These were taken at my favorite backdrop, the family farm in East Berlin. Enjoy!

Oh Baby...

MMP held their first maternity/family shoot with the Lugaro family on the state capital grounds this week! The entire family was versatile with MMP's creative ideas which allowed us to capture great moments of their fantastic personalities, including the unborn Isabell due in September. See for yourself :)
