her camera, her dog, and her blog…

Deep Creek, MD | Erie, PA Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Okay, okay!  I know it has been a while since I’ve posted!  I have photographed several weddings, went on vacation, and went back to college (more on that in a later post, I promise). 

My family rented a house in Deep Creek that over looked a gorgeous valley and (if you looked hard enough) Deep Creek Lake. 

We started off the week by visiting Husky Power Dog Sledding.  Justin was in heaven.  He loved learning about all the sledding equipment and dogs.  I wouldn’t be surprised if one of my future posts include details of how our huskies are learning to pull a sled.  Justin made it a point to go back and  chat with Mike (the owner) about all things sledding.  He was gone most of the  day and I was relieved when he came back…. without a dog! :)

We also made a trip to Muddy Creek Falls.  It was quite the adventure with 3 kids under the age of 5 but they throughly enjoyed it!  Unfortunately for that leg of the trip I didn’t bring my camera. 

My absolute favorite part of Deep Creek was getting on go-carts!  My brothers, Justin and I all zoomed around the course for several hours.  Who knew the Bunnell clan is so competitive?   It was fun zooming around the course and making memories to last me a very long time! 

We ended the week with a trip to Sunnyside Wools Farm.  It was a family owned farm of llamas, goats, alpacas, and a miniture horse.  It was fun to hear Julian say ‘Oh Wow’ at all the sites and sounds of the farm.  Samantha got to feed the animals.  Samantha, Caleb, and Julian were all able to ride the miniture pony at the end.  It was a great place for a bunch of city kids to see big animals up close.

The really neat part about Deep Creek is all the attractions seem to be owned by families.  Owning a few small businesses myself it feels nice to support other entrepreuners.

I didn’t get a chance to take many portraits of my niece and nephews as I normally do but there are a couple!  My niece Samantha has had me taking her portrait since she was born.  I love how she poses and shows off for the camera!

    Great place for family vacations – good to see you had a great trip!

    I love goats soooo much! Fun pictures! I want to go back to Deep Creek in the wintertime and go skiing, or go in the summer and go white water rafting at the top of the ski mountain!
