From the North Side to the South Side, we covered most of Pittsburgh for Collin's awesome senior session! We even found a parking garage with a view of the city. Collin, you're awesome! Thanks for a great session!
Jeff S. is a senior from Eden Christian Academy who plays basketball for the varsity team. We took Jeff's portraits on his family's property (which is beautiful - especially in the fall!). Thanks for an awesome session, Jeff - and good luck with the rest of your senior year!
Damaris and Scott had an absolutely beautiful wedding day surrounded by family and friends - some of which joined them for the ceremony over Skype from Spain (photo below)! Their bridal party was fantastic, and even though it rained almost the entire day, the weather didn't stop them from having an awesome time. Congratulations, Damaris and Scott - we love you guys! Thanks to the Bloom Brigade for the beautiful floral arrangements, and to the Pittsburgh DJ Company for a great time at the reception!
Let me just start out by saying that fall is my absolute favorite season! So, obviously - I was completely stoked when Becca contacted me early summer asking if we could wait until fall for her and Zac's engagement shoot! The shoot took place at Soergel's Orchard in Wexford, PA on a gorgeous, sunny morning. Becca and Zac made my job easy - they are so natural with each other and in front of the camera. Thanks for a great shoot, and best of luck to the two of you!
Shannon and Kyle had a beautiful barn wedding (complete with handmade decorations by the bride) in Parker, Pennsylvania in early August. This wedding was special for quite a few reasons - but the most important being that Kyle is Nick's (my boyfriend) brother! It was an honor to be chosen to capture their big day. Congratulations Shannon and Kyle, your day was beautiful!
Carter Smith is a senior graduating from Eden Christian Academy in the spring of 2014. He is an awesome cross country runner (we used his track shoes and a medal he won for a few of his photos) and an all around great guy! His session took place on a sunny afternoon at McConnell's Mill State Park. Good luck with your senior year, Carter! Thanks for a great session!
Nick and I had the pleasure of shooting Lexy and Anthony's engagement photos in Uniontown, PA! The session included some gorgeous scenery, cute props, and lots of joy! Thanks so much for letting us be a part of such an exciting time in your lives, Lexy and Anthony!
Brielle's senior session took place on a beautiful day in Uniontown, PA, complete with a few pairs of adorable shoes, a gun, and a truck. Not to mention, she's beautiful from the inside out! We had an awesome time shooting with you, Brielle, and good luck with your senior year!
Mr. Timothy Gricks is a divorce and family lawyer based in Pittsburgh, PA, who was in need of a few updated portraits and some detail shots of his new office. Of course, I LOVE photographing people - but detail shots are a close second! So, as you can imagine - this shoot totally made my day!If you're in need of some top notch lawyer services - check out his website: www.grickslaw.com.
I love photographing people. With it comes countless stories and connections. Sometimes, when I strike up a conversation with a stranger in Starbucks or at the Y, I find myself thinking "I would love to shoot a portrait of this person!" As odd as that might seem, I feel like it's part of what aids me in my love of photographing people. Everyone has a story, and everyone deserves to tell said story. And while lots of people love novels with page upon page of neverending text (don't get me wrong - I love them too!), I enjoy a book with a few photos thrown into the mix. It helps give whatever you're reading about a face (so to speak), and sometimes speaks more to what the author is trying to convey than an endless arrangement of carefully written text. As they say - a picture is worth a thousand words. So without further ado, meet a wonderful lady named Dot (who just so happens to be my boyfriend's grandma). Dot loves peanut butter cups and a good old cup of coffee. And for all the food she eats (once I saw her eat 6 cupcakes in one sitting), she somehow manages to stay petite! Here's a little bit of her story:
A wedding photo.
An old yearbook.
A little glare on the glasses, but her look - priceless.
