Fifteen years ago, I registered my business name and photographed my first wedding.  I was just celebrating my own first anniversary and had a handful of classes at Pittsburgh Filmmakers under my belt.  Thankfully, this couple had faith in me for their lovely backyard wedding and I walked away with the start of my portfolio and a certainty that I had found my passion.  A few years later, I left my full-time job to focus on my photography business and not long after that, we had our first son.  And while I still enjoy photographing weddings, I fell in love with capturing babies and families—always with the dream of opening a studio in the back of my mind.  And in June of last year, that dream came true and I’m celebrating 15 years in business and my first year at the studio!
