Hi! I’m Aaren, a documentary wedding and family portrait photographer based in Philadelphia.

I love the Lord. His grace still amazes me, and I am nothing without Him.

I love my husband, David. My joker, my best dear friend and by far my biggest fan.

I’m a Mama to two sons with some serious CHEEKS.  Our journey to become parents was everything but easy, but the Lord is faithful and good and we still can't believe that we get to be parents to these sweet, lively boys.

We have a puppyman.  A  yellow lab named Potter (yes, like Harry Potter).  And if you follow along on social media, I'm sure you've realized that we have an unhealthy obsession with him. 

I love all things pumpkin. Seriously- if that bulbous orange gourd is involved, I’m all over it.

I smile. A lot. Laughing is my favorite.

If you ask me, I’m a musical rock star in the shower.

If there’s a piano in the room, you can bet that sooner or later, I’ll play it.

I’m the middle child. IYKYK.

I’m incredibly thankful for my parents. Their example of love, discipline, prayer and work ethic have shaped me into who I am today.

Fall is my happy time. Everything about it. The colors, the air, the sweaters, the boots, the cuddles, the pumpkin spice lattes, even the rainstorms. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Christmas music plays year round in this house (ask our biggest little- Frank’s Christmas album is played through each morning at breakfast per his request). It’s such a shame to only have one month to celebrate festive traditions. Ask anyone who knows me well, if you’re in my phone book – you can expect a call every year the second that I hear my first Christmas carol on the radio. Oh, and how many times can you watch Elf? As many times as it’s on, of course!

Adventure is out there. Always. Almost always with camera in hand.
