glimpse: Holiday billboards

We recently finished up an awesome advertisement project with our friends at Artfully Elegant gallery. Needless to say we were psyched when they contacted us about doing seven unique billboards through out the Lehigh Valley to promote their beautiful hand crafted goods. We jumped at the opportunity, and was given a deadline of only one week. I've come to realize I work best with a little fire under my butt, and the practice is always worth it. I wanted to make sure we stayed within a color palette and style that fully complimented Artfully Elegant's current marketing direction. And secondly we wanted to add a bit of personality, warmth, and holiday cheer to the images vs. a typical white background type product shot. Overall it was a fun, creative opportunity, and we're very happy with the way everything came together. Thanks again to Artfully Elegant and if you still have some shopping to do for someone special I urge you to go check them out next to Hotel Bethlehem. Real genuine gifts, you can't beat it! 

Hope all is well and everyone enjoy your holiday!!

glimpse: Jension family shoot, Easton photography

We managed to squeeze this one in right before the year's first snow! Twins Luke and Grace were full of excitement as it started to flurry in downtown Easton, PA. The Jenison family and I played around the colorful Bank St. Alley, and I must say the weather, cheerful vibe, and a little break to warm up at Dunkin Donuts really made this an enjoyable way to spend my afternoon! Thanks again guys, and have a great holiday.

Hope all is well,  Tim + Mercedes 

glimpse: Alyssa + Scot engagement allentown photography

A big congratulations to our great friends Alyssa and Scot on their engagement! I met Scot way back in the college days, and even after graduation we did pretty good keeping in touch. A few years ago Scot was looking for a change of scenery and decided to make Bethlehem, PA his new home. This was great news! An old friend moving to my town, what could be better! Little did we know this was a new chapter and we were bound to meet new people. It was during this time Scot had met Alyssa and it seemed like over night their relationship soared. Their similarities compliment each other, and their personalities just rock. Whether home brewing fresh IPA's, going on mountain bike rides, or watching the Penn State game, they are always enjoying each others company. Mercedes and I are very lucky to have such great friends and we're so happy for you both.  We can't wait for the wedding!

Thanks, and we hope all is well Tim + Mercedes

glimpse: A man+ his bus

This was a great shoot! One of those shoots that had no real purpose other than getting up early for some nice light, grabbing a hot coffee, and hanging out with a buddy. Sometimes that's all it takes to get a great photo. Lee and I are no strangers to working together creatively. We've stretched our own canvases and painted like Pollock!  We've played in bands and wrote songs like Page and Plant! Uh... well at least that's how we felt at the time. But why? Just because it's fun and important to constantly stay creative and this shoot was just that. Over the last year Lee has been rolling up his sleeves, and fixing up his labor of love vintage VW bus for the ultimate outdoor adventure mobile. We're glad we rolled out of bed that morning and really dig how the final images show that gritty similarity between a man and his bus. 

Hope all is well, Tim 

glimpse: Schultz family photography

Mercedes and I grabbed a coffee and hit the road early this weekend to shoot some family photos up in Bath, PA. I knew the couple from high school, and I was thrilled when they contacted us for family photographs. It's been over ten years! It was great to catch up and meet their adorable little boy. The early morning light and frosty grass added the perfect feel despite the 20 degree temps! We all had a great time playing in the yard, snapping photos, and enjoying the fresh fall air. Thanks again Melissa!  We hope you enjoy, and all is well.

glimpse: Tracy + Jordan Rodale Institute wedding photography

On October 5th, our dear friends Tracy and Jordan got married! Mercedes had the privilege of meeting Tracy while working at The Melting Pot. After long hours of polishing silverware and Swiss cheese making, their friendship seemed to grow with every late night shift. Tracy and Jordan's unique engagement session was a great indicator of how awesome their wedding was going to be. You can check out there engagement photos:

The wedding was held at the peaceful Rodale Institute Organic Farm in Kutztown, Pa. The big weeping willows, white fences and misty skies really brought a southern like tone to this beautiful October day. Their splendid personalities were such a joy to work with, and we could have not asked for a better day. We are so happy for you both, and hope you had an amazing honeymoon! Congratulations Tracy and Jordan Davco. We hope you enjoy, and all is well.
