Pittsburgh Newborn Session: Gifting A Session

This recent session was a gift from a mom to her daughter and son-in-law and I love the thoughtfulness from this new grandma.  She’s giving her daughter’s family the opportunity to capture the sweetness of this precious, fleeting time.  And it’s a gift that she’ll probably enjoy just as much as her daughter!

Pittsburgh Senior Portraits: North Park

It’s so much fun getting to know my clients throughout the shoot and I often walk away feeling like I have a new friend. Though, I do realize I am just a friendly lady with a camera who is helping to document this special time in her life. But it really is fun spending an hour getting to know someone and capture their portrait!

Photographing Safely in a Pandemic: Maternity Through First Birthday Sessions

One of my favorite things about being a family photographer is getting to photograph a family through the milestones. It is so much fun to see a family grow and help them to capture that growth. I first met this family for their maternity and newborn sessions. And last month, we got to document their daughter’s first birthday. It was a bit mind-blowing for me to realize that all happened during this pandemic. But these are the good things that make me so thankful that I can work and keep my clients safe.

Oak Lodge: Pittsburgh Wedding Photography

This fun wedding at Oak Lodge in Donegal, Pa., had an unstoppable joy to it.  This sweet couple endured planning a wedding during the pandemic and all of the complications that come with that, and they darted in and out of rain getting ready for their ceremony and during their photos that followed.  But what really warmed my heart is when they decided to dance in the rain when it wouldn’t let up during their reception.  They weren’t going to allow a little rain to ruin their fun!
