What a great pleasure it was for me to photograph these two lovely ladies. They both have such beautiful brown eyes that just melt your heart. I had such a great time watching them dance and twirl in their little petticoats. I think these photographs tell it all.

The Whitehill Boys ~ Amy Skarzenski, Erie Pennsylvania Child Photographer

"A brother is a friend given by Nature." ~Legouve

It was one of the hottest days in Erie, Pennsylvania. What better place for a family photo shoot, Presque Isle. We made it through the heat and these two little boys were a joy to spend that time with.

These boys belong to my husband's closest childhood friend. What a pleasure it is to see him now with his two little boys and lovely wife.

Thank you, Carl and Kim. We had a great time catching up! My assistant thanks you too!

Grygier Kids ~ Amy Skarzenski, Erie Pennsylvania Child Photographer

"Children are like windows that open onto the future as well as the past, the external world as well as our own private landscapes." ~Jane Swigart

What a beautiful Tuesday afternoon it was. I was the lucky one. I got to spend it photographing these three lovely children. We had such a wonderful time running around, laughing, and playing. We even got to fish some balls out of the pond in front of the Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery. Thanks again Rae Anne and Rob for choosing me!

Amanda and Jon ~ Amy Skarzenski, Erie Pennsylvania Engagement Photographer

Ultimately, love is everything ~ M. Scott Peck

The perfect way to start my blog...An engagement session.

What a pleasure it was to spend one very rainy morning photographing this beautiful couple, Amanda and Jon. This is why I love photography. I get to freeze these moments in time, so that others are able to cherish them forever. Those serious, playful, loving, and happy moments! I got to experience every one of those emotions with them! I am especially lucky, because I will be there when Amanda and Jon say their vows and seal it with a kiss.

I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!
