A Walk In The Park

...Gifford Pinchot park to be exact. Our latest shoot was with the Gibson family who was kind enough to get a little wet for some great photography! Kasey and Allison had a blast splashing around in the lake, overall a fantastic shoot with a fun family!

Weddings

WOW! Jas and I can completely understand how photographers fall in love with shooting weddings. As photographers I believe we appreciate and capture all of the great details and time consuming plans that couples share for the big day. Weddings are definitely an adrenaline rush and a great way to let your creativity shine while documenting one of the best days of a couples life. MMP was thankful to share part of Tina and Ben's wedding day held at Founders Hall in Hershey. Both were wonderful to work with and had a little fun during the shoot. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Mowrey!

Warrington Sporting Clays

Recently Jason and I met and decided to partner with Warrington Sporting Clays to provide professional photojournalistic services for their club members. Warrington has asked for MMP to be the official photographers for any sport shooting needs including groomsmen parties, tournaments, and family outings. Of course we kindly obliged :)

Warrington Sporting Clays Club is a stone's throw away from where I grew up, near the Rossville/Wellsville, PA Area. The club is managed by husband and wife team, Jay and Tereasa Forbes who strive to make each member feel as if they are a part of the family. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and kept in tip top shape. I highly recommend checking out the organization. http://www.warringtonsportingclays.com/

Jere, Jennifer, and Amara

What a cute family! Amara's photo shoot couldn't have happened on a more perfect day.. a few more puffy clouds would have been nice but that's why we have photoshop:) We started our day at Italian Lake and then worked our way to City Island. End Result...one of the McClain's favorite sessions. Beautiful pictures and great settings.. what more could a photographer ask for. Enjoy- I know that we did:)

The Drunken Parade

Oh St Patrick's Day...the time when everyone has a little Irish ancestry, cravings for green shirts and pints of Guinness, and the Harrisburg Parade. As a member of the Harrisburg Camera Club, we were invited to shoot the parade in exchange for some free publicity and experience! What an experience it was! Thousands of Central PA residents crowded the downtown improvement district decked in their finest green! In my opinion, the crowd was one of the best parts of the parade.. well that and all the pipers and kilts :) Thankfully, I was able to share the day with my fantastic husband who also had been branded as an official parade photographer. Enjoy the shots!

Moving Out

Oh no.. the McClain's aren't moving yet, but Kathleen and Dave are very soon! Kathleen (KP) and Dave, two of our close friends, are celebrating a new abode! Today's photo shoot in Harrisburg was filled with talks of furniture purchases and plans of making their new home together! Today was also an earmark day for the McClain's since Jason had taken on the new role of Asst Photographer by shooting on a Minolta film camera. As much fun as shooting on a film camera can be, he's eagerly anticipating the fullfillment of the Canon 50D fund so he can shoot digitally as well.

Praise the geek gods, a website finally exists! Dave H. aka Guru of HTML, has been extremely helpful in getting MMP.com set up and in decent appearance. There are a few things that still need to be ironed out but the galleries are in place and new images are constantly being loaded!
Thanks for checking out the blog and the site! You're support is appreciated!
