We did a few bridal party photos and then enjoyed a lot of fun family photos
After the ceremony, we were served a very delicious meal.
Thanks Taylor & Brittany for asking me to photograph your beautiful wedding day. May God bless your life together.

I am so excited for your journey together and knowing God has great plans for you.

I am so grateful to have captured these family moments for you. As you face so many unknowns and the future looks huge, my prayer is that God will walk beside you and give you peace.

It was great seeing all my cousins. I felt honored to capture these precious moments for you.
]]>I am back with photos of this beautiful couple. From the time I met them for their engagement session till I walked out of the wedding reception, I was blessed to be a part of their lives at these important moments. Brent and Kandra were such a sweet couple. The love between them was so beautiful, and shown in such quiet sweet ways. I love her colors! Wow, did those flower bouquets stand out against the bride and bride maid's dresses. The details were amazing. One of my faves, were the cakes with fresh fruit laid on top. Thank you Brent and Kandra to give me the opportunity to photograph your wedding day. Blessings to you, as you bless the world around you with your marriage.

Near the end of the class, we photographers had arranged a few clients to come in. This permitted the attendees to watch sessions in action, as well as, to take a few photos themselves and practice what the learned throughout the day.
Faith and Leroy were an amazing couple to do this for us. They were relaxed in front of all those folks.
Thanks, Faith and Leroy for being willing to come out for this event.

I am introducing the new Mr. & Mrs! Words cant describe the beauty of their wedding day and the love of this young couple. The weather was being so unpredictable earlier in the week but that morning was just gorgeous. The sun streaming through the trees was so beautiful! Amanda and Bradley were so fun to capture. I loved their little glances at each other saying, "I love being next to you...forever"! So sweet!
It was such a honor to be a part of your wedding day, Bradley & Amanda. May the Lord bless your life together.

I am so glad to introduce to you, Michael & Janae. This couple is wonderful couple. The circumstances around them are not ideal, but they said God has been so faithful He will see them through. They were so happy and lovingly cared for each other. I loved the boat pictures as they read a letter to each other, the bridal party was so fun loving, and the details ever so gorgeous. Michael & Janae, you are an amazing couple! I know God will do great things in your life together. I loved working with you.

I am excited to be taking this wonderful couple's wedding photos in a few weeks. This pictures were taken in the freezing cold, but Karen & Samuel didn't let that keep them from having some gorgeous pictures.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to stop by to read my blog post. The time has come for me to explain where God has been leading me. The last several months were filled with some HUGE decisions. I was so blessed as God gave very clear direction to where He is leading me. It was very hard to give my answer to the school board, since it was a "no" to teach another term. I loved teaching first grade at Springville Mennonite School. The school families was like my second family. To lay all familiar behind and step into the unknown looks big. But if God leads me to it; He will lead me through it!
Yes, with that all said, I am headed to the mission field. I am planning to help my brother and his family as they transition to a foreign country to do Bible translation. I will plan to also teach my niece Brooklyn, who will be ready for first grade. After David finishes up several more studies, they will be ready to move the beginning of 2021.
So what does that look like for Danelle's Photography? I am planning to continue doing sessions till mid-fall. But I will need to limit the number of sessions I take, since I plan to do some language study and a few other classes in preparations for the mission field. I will not be doing any photography the year of 2021. As my time comes to a close on the mission field, I will evaluate my circumstances and keep you informed. So stay tuned...
I have included a photo of my brother and family...
David. Rosene. Brooklyn. Jada Sensenig
Please pray has we make the transition!

Happy 4th Birthday, Jaron!
]]>Duane & Sheri
The morning dawned beautiful over the lake in New York! The air was very crisp at twenty degrees. Duane & Sheri were real troopers!! The beauty of this couple was magnified by the love they share! Their story will be one that many family and friends won't forget. A wedding two weeks early!!
Yes, Saturday they were notified that if they don't get married by Sunday, they will have to wait indefinitely till this Covid-19 pandemic is over. They chose to be married Sunday afternoon at 2pm. They were limited to only inviting 50 people. With the help of family and a few friends things came together. So many small miracles played into the picture!! God was good!!! They got married at Martin's retreat, and a small reception followed. Everybody tried to make it extra special, and it sure was!!
Crazy.Fun.
Family pictures taken in the shade of a few pine trees by the retreat.
I was delighted to get a photo with my dear nieces!
Duane & Sheri, may God bless you richly with a beautiful life together!

Kevin & Esther are an amazing couple. We met at an indoor studio in Manhiem. It was very cold Saturday morning but we were able to do just a few photos outside. Kevin & Esther were so relaxed and easy going. I love the twinkle in their eyes, their giggles, and their love and respect for each other. The bridal party joined us a while later, along with them came the mini couple. This little boy & girl were so adorable. They seemed to enjoy the attention and didn't mind doing what we wanted them to do. Esther's friend took the remaining photos at the wedding and reception.

I met the Wenger family at the Project. It was one of those most gorgeous evening! When Janell called to schedule a session I was so excited to photograph them again. I had a session with them a few years ago. We had a lot of fun, so I knew this time was going to be no different.

Joel & Irene Rutt and Family... I am grateful when my assistant Amanda can help to take large group photos. It was great to spend time with your family. It was fun to look around the property... then of course, we picked the wooded area with tall grass! The children did so good!
Oh so cute... it photo with their grandchildren!

I love you, girls!
I know everyone loves looking at family photos. Out of respect for my clients, I will wait to post after holidays... so stay tuned!

Ellie Rayne was so sweet and adorable. Her hair soft and silky, skin so smooth, hands and feet so small! Ellie did amazing! She left me switch from one pose to another very easily. Oh, I was in my glories!! Then we went to an orchard nearby and got a few of her family and siblings.
I am not in the mood for pictures...Two year olds can feel like their world is turned upside down when baby dear arrives! So we didn't push her to hard.

Thanks Heather, it was so special to capture a moment with baby dear!

Brynlee is Keilah's adorable, lovable baby sister. Her smile is cute. She is six months and acts so big when she sits alone.

One beautiful couple. One love. One gorgeous day. Fun bridal party. Caring family and friends. Tears of joy. Smiles that just couldn't get sweet. Oh this list could go on and on...
Andrew & Jessica, thanks for inviting us to be part of your wedding day. May God bless you today and always!
]]>Thanks Michelle for allowing me to photograph this moment of your life.
]]>Lehman Family... I enjoy these small family sessions. There was only one little guy to keep an eye on and he did so well.
]]>I have known her family for quite a few years. It is a pleasure to take the Burkholder Family pictures and see the children growing up. Now Alexa is a Senior at Ephrata Mennonite School. I met her in Lancaster and we strolled around catching different spots in the city.
Best wishes as you wrap up your high school years, Alexa
]]>Here is a small family of 3 adorable little girls. We took them right in their back yard. Love the grassy, weedy look. They did so great, but when they decided they were done, it was all over.
Here is another extended family...The Burkholders
Wow! What a year of rescheduling sessions due to the weather. This family did very well, and were very good at helping to keep it moving.. Then it started to rain:( but it paused enough we just finished up.
Fisher family... they bought a certificate at Weavertown School fundraiser. I was delight to see this calm, easy-going family.
]]>
You have just viewed the Fox family. We enjoyed the evening right around there house. They have a lovely place to photograph at. The children did so well. There were some really cute shots.
Coming next is the Sensenig Family! When family from out of state is around, you try to quickly grab a photo. Well all was going great till the one little guy decided to change his mind and we just couldn't side-track him. But the rest of the family handled it very well and we had a grand time.
The Martins... I looked forward to taking. I have had quite a few of their children as my students and have taking their pictures a number of times. This makes it sooo enjoyable when the children are relaxed and the session can flow smoothely...
Meet a fun loving crazy family... I laughed so much through this session. Right, laughter is the best medicine!!!
The session ended very abruptly, because a storm was approaching rapidly.
