Welcome to the world, sweet baby girl!
Newborn in-home sessions have definitely grown on me these last few years after becoming a mom myself. I loved getting to photograph Liz and her sweet December baby in Moon Township! And of course, we had to incorporate a little bit of Christmas into the mix with baby girl being born in December!
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl, Liz!
Christmas in-home family sessions might be my new favorite...
What a sweet time I had photographing this beautiful family! When Mary Beth asked me to photograph her family in their home while their Christmas decorations were up, I was thrilled to say the least! When I showed up and they had cookies for props... I knew we were going to have so much fun!
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this sweet season of your lives!
Josh proposes to Aaleigha!
It was a cold, blustery day in Pittsburgh - but warm (and busy ) inside the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Aaleigha thought they were having a "normal" date the Museum, but little did she know she was in for the surprise of a lifetime!
I was so honored to be a part of such a sweet moment for these two! After 6 years of dating, Josh popped the question to Aaleigha at the bottom of the grand staircase at the museum. After the big moment, we spent some time walking through the museum, hitting some of the best spots for photos!
I've photographed one wedding at the museum years ago, but this was my first proposal here, and it was so much fun!
Congratulations on your engagement, Josh & Aaleigha!
Meet Lexi!
We had a beautiful day at Hartwood Acres Mansion for Lexi's senior session! She is an Upper St. Claire senior who plays basketball and loves a good salty snack.
She also brought three gorgeous outfits with her, all of which went so well with the mansion backdrop!
Congratulations on your senior year, Lexi!
You're in for a treat today!
Meet Aaron - he's a senior at North Allegheny! He loves his dog (Nugget - who made an appearance for his session!) and laughing... and we did a lot of laughing during our session! Aaron is one of the most joyful people I've had the pleasure of photographing.
I've had the pleasure of photographing Aaron's brothers in years past.. it is always such a compliment when families stick with me throughout the years for photos!
The first part of Aaron's session took place at his family's home/property, and the second part took place at the Woodlands. You'll even see some behind-the-scenes photos at the end of this post that Aaron's mom (Jill) took during our time together!
I'm so grateful to have been able to work with this incredible family for so many years. So grateful for you all!
Meet Cassidy!
Cassidy is a Chartier's Valley senior who - as a non-morning person - recently braved a sunrise session at Moraine State Park like a champ! Morning sessions always have some of the prettiest light, and the Moraine shoreline did not disappoint!
Cassidy is involved in marching band, musical theater (stage crew!), and is a junior firefighter. She plans to study physical therapy post high school, and was inspired by her own experience from a physical therapist who made the process fun for her.
Congrats on your senior year, Cassidy, and thanks for letting me take these photos for you!
Meet Lexi!
Lexi is a Chartier's Valley senior who loves a good sweet treat - specifically, anything chocolate (same ). We had the prettiest evening for her senior photos - the weather was perfect, and the light was *chef's kiss*.
I'll let you in on a little secret... this is my favorite time of year for photos! September into October always has some of my favorite golden hour light, and I'm always so thankful when the clouds part and we're able to capture it in a senior session!
Congratulations on your senior year, Lexi!
Meet Trudy & Isaac!
These two chose the beautiful town of Historic Harmony for their engagement photos... which was the perfect mix of fall & Christmas!
I photographed Trudy's high school senior photos back in 2021... and it was such an honor to have her back in front of my camera!
Trudy & Isaac, a huge congratulations to you on your engagement... thanks for trusting me with documenting this sweet season for you!
Check out this precious family! I had the pleasure of photographing these three in Harmony this past weekend for their Christmas photos... as gifts for grandparents! What better gift could a grandparent ask for
Also, one of my favorite things about photographing toddlers is that they are always on the move. It makes the photos so candid and natural (even though it can feel a bit chaotic for the parents in the midst of the session).
Christmas tree farm mini photo sessions have become some of my favorite types of sessions to photograph throughout my career! I only began hosting them a few years ago, and I LOVE how so many of the families I photograph return year after year and make it a part of their Christmas tradition!
This year, I hosted these sessions at Grupp’s Christmas Tree Farm for the first time. And it was a HUGE hit! The owner of the farm even had a vintage red truck for us to use… which gave us one more fun backdrop to use! The kids especially loved the truck, and I love the images we were able to get!
To all of the families who joined me this year (2025) for photos… thank you so much for trusting me with these sweet memories! I truly cherish your sweet families and your trust in me. And a huge thank you to Grupp’s Tree Farm for letting us take photos here, and my assistant, Dani, for helping me!
