I visited Valley Forge National Historical Park a few weeks ago on a scouting mission for a project. I went during “golden hour” and the place was list up beautifully. There’s really no better time for lovely, sun-drenched pictures than the hour or so before sunset. I try to schedule all of my shoots around this time so that I can get this gorgeous look. Photographers refer to this as “golden hour” or “magic hour”. It’s easy to see why.

Enjoy!

It's not all peaches and plentiful parking but it has been a fabulous place to live and, if the conditions were right, I would stay here forever.I loo ...

May Facebook Cover Images
She’s been around through some of the hardest and most spectacular times in my life. She has comforted me when I’ve cried and joined in on dance parties when I’ve celebrated. She has lived with me in 5 different states. She can be too smart for her own good. She is the best cuddler I know but has a problem with bed wetting.
