I'm a Christmas fanatic. Everything about it makes me wish it was a year round celebration! But, then again, that wouldn't make it quite as special. This past weekend I did a photobooth at Grace Community Church's youth group Christmas party, and it was an awesome time! I even got to jump in for a few photos. Enjoy, and Merry (early) Christmas!
We got the last bit of fall colors (and awesome light) in Alex's senior session a few weeks ago at his session in North Park! Even though it was a little chilly, he pushed through the cold like a champ. Thanks for a great session, Alex!
A few weeks ago I did a little experiment to see if I could create interesting portraits using a technique I learned through shooting wedding receptions (giving motion to light). The results came out pretty interesting! And I only had to pay my model (my sister) with a Sheetz milkshake and hot fries. I'd say that's a win!
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!
