We have a little something different to share with you today. It involves an adorable couple, their first love nest, amazing photography by Alison Conklin…oh and the couple’s precious pup. In celebration of buying their very first home together, Nicole and Garri decided to celebrate in style with a little love session on a private farm in Hershey, Pennsylvania.This is such an amazing way to document a huge milestone in your life and yes, we know it isn’t exactly wedding related but it was way too cute to pass up and you know this is often what happens after you get married so it’s sort-of-kind-of related, no? You can see the full shoot and all of those yummy farm details in the gallery.

Alison Conklin shot this incredible milestones shoot with Garri and Nicole who just recently moved into their first house. Alison loves staying with a couple throughout the big moments in their life from their engagement session and wedding through things like their first home, children, and any big life moments that come along. This farm is just outside of Hershey, PA and when Nicole and Alison stumbled upon it they knew it was the perfect place for their shoot.
Nicole Banar is not only the beautiful subject of the photos but also the Director of Sales at Two Paperdolls where she and the rest of the dolls are busy making those incredible custom wedding invitations, letterpress prints, stylish logos, business cards, and websites, an more that they are so famous for.
Photography: Alison Conklin / Venue: Private Residence in Hershey, PA / The mural was painted by Steve Woelfling as a gift to the Grandmother of the family / Hair and makeup: Emily of Cheekadee / Wardrobe was entirely from J.Crew, except Garri’s jeans were from Lucky and Nicole’s necklace was from Anthropologie

The yellow is such a fantastic color to use - it symbolises happiness and that's exactly the mood that the photographer has created. They're gorgeous photos. :)
Love this love shoot! Her necklace is amazing, how much do you love Anthropologie!
this shoot makes me want to go wiggle my toes in some grass! completely adorable. and the pops of yellow are perfection. thanks so much for your beautiful blog -- i'm getting so much inspiration for my upcoming wedding!
Most favourite spread I've seen on SMP in the last few months!
Has this photographer followed you through other 'milestones?' (ie. engagement, wedding, etc?)
Beautiful photos of a beautiful couple!
Hello Katepa -
I WISH I had known Alison when I got married, she would have been my photographer for both my engagement and my wedding photos (I did have both milestones documented by another photographer). I guess you could say I am making up for lost time with our post wedding milestones.
Nicole
What a great idea! I "LOVE" the picture of them in front of "LOVE".
