Sunflowers Galore

It's not everyday you come across a field full of a million sunflowers in Pennsylvania.....so what to do with this opportunity, shoot a beautiful woman in the middle of it, and topless of course!

Two strategically placed sunflowers keeps this image rated PG13.

Autumn Snow

The calendar says Autumn, but the view is a bit wintry looking. A small snowstorm hit the our area on Thanksgiving eve dropping about 5 inches of the dreaded white stuff covering up the remaining fall colors.

Autumn Isn't Gone Yet

The calendar still say's it is Autumn out, even if old Mother Nature has recently had it feeling like the middle of winter here in south central Pennsylvania. This was the view in front of a home in Abbottstown Pennsylvania all decked out for fall. 

Snack Time With JB

I recently was out and about in New Oxford for a memorial dedication event and my friend was there with her handsome little boy JB. He didn't want anything to do with me nor my camera. So, be just causal and patient, his mood lightened towards me and we captured a few just cute as the devil photos of him in front of the fountain on New Oxford's beautiful circle.

GQ Model In The Making

I love to do candid photo shoots, especially of children around age four and above. Allowing the kids to just "be themselves" usually produces some very cute images. My little buddy Brayden Shoop just rocked it this day back in 2012 when we were doing a family shoot. He just played the junior GQ man all the way. We should soon be doing some new family pictures, its been a while now.

HAPPY HAPPY BOY

My little buddy Landon enjoys throwing stones into the water while we were doing his photos at the historic Sach's Bridge in Gettysburg Pa. recently. Landon is "all boy" and a complete joy to be around. His smile is precious and he comes up with some interesting expressions.

Meet The Spicklers

SJRoth Photography also offers quality professional looking family portraits. On this day, my good friends, the Spickler family invited me to capture their family portrait at Codorus Lake in Hanover Pa. 

Senior Year

 Kayleigh is a member of South Western High School class of 2015. Her mom, Christy was a class mate of mine in 1984, thirty years ago. Seeing Kayleigh was like looking back in time at her mom, both are pretty as can be. These photos was captured at the historic Sach's Covered Bridge in Gettysburg Pa. If you'd like to hire me to shoot senior photos, or any portraits, please contact me.

Humback Bridge

This beautiful piece of architectural is located on Stone Bridge Road between Hanover and New Oxford in Adams County Pennsylvania. I know very little history on it other than its old and beautiful. I plan to continue researching some history on it and will update this post when I find new information. This image is posted pretty much "as is" it was captured with the camera. The camera settings were ISO 200, F3,5 and 1/160th. The only processing in Photoshop was a bit of color adjustment and slight sharpening.

Boo-T-Ful Witchy Braya

This little darling four year old girl came walking past me dressed in her Halloween costume Thursday afternoon while I was enjoying an iced coffee at the New Oxford Coffee Company. Her beautiful smile was too much to not ask her and her aunt if I could take her picture for my blog page. Having permission, utilizing New Oxford's oldest home's  front porch fall decorations for a backdrop. My new little friend Braya just made my day with her modeling skills. Her aunt is also a photographer, In Bloom Photography, so go show her some love, visit her FaceBook page. 

The Fly And The Pumpkin

Gaylyn and Diane's Pumpkin

It's that time of the year again known as Autumn, and what comes with Autumn, pumpkins of course. Our neighbors have a few perfectly placed in their flower beds for some decoration. While "across the street" yesterday, I snapped this photo. A fly was also admiring the pumpkins beauty as he strolled across it's orangeness. At our house, we aren't as festive, we just use pumpkins for things like pies.
