I don’t know why but one of the first things that comes to mind when thinking about the Mississippi River are steamboats. Surprisingly there is only one steamboat left on the Mississippi, The Nanchez.
I never really considered how much business is happening on the Mississippi River. There are tons of boats bringing imports from other counties and sending exports from our country. Not really sure how to describe it but it was nice to see so many hard working men and woman up and down the river.




That beautiful skyline is New Orleans….pretty cool





Hi, I’m Tiff!
I’m the photographer behind Appletini Photography, a portrait studio based in Yardley, PA, serving families and businesses across Bucks County. For more than a decade, I’ve had the joy of capturing heartfelt images — from newborn photography and family portraits to professional headshots and branding photography. My goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel authentic, joyful, and worth holding onto for generations.
Over the years I’ve photographed thousands of moments for families throughout Yardley, Morrisville, and the surrounding Bucks County community, helping parents preserve the fleeting stages of childhood and the connections that make their family unique. I believe a photograph never grows up — and that the images we create today become tomorrow’s heirlooms.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m wearing one of my many hats: wife, mom, cat mom, aunt, best friend, and enthusiastic coffee drinker. I’m usually planning a themed party, crafting something creative, traveling somewhere new, getting lost in a good book, or laughing until my cheeks hurt.
Through this blog, I love sharing photography tips, local Bucks County family resources, behind-the-scenes stories from sessions, and inspiration for families preparing for portraits. I’m so glad you’re here.
Great pictures. Love the fisheye shots on the paddle wheel on the back of the boat. That was such a fun ride!
