Family photos at Hartwood Acres - so much fun! The Andersons even brought their 9 week old puppy (who had more energy than the three boys!). Thanks for a great shoot!
Andrea and Cameron's perfect day at Succop Conservancy was full of beautiful light and close friends and family. This day was one of my favorites of the summer for a few reasons:I went to high school with Andrea and graduated with her sister (and Maid of Honor), and we had four people from JHP present for this wedding (2 for photo, 2 for video!). Don't miss Andrea + Cameron's wedding video teaser at the end of this post (shot by Nick and Alisha Sasala, edited by Nick)!
Congratulations to an awesome couple!

What a sweet family! We loved hanging out with the Pentz Family at their new (and first) home! Full of beautiful light (and lots of love), we had a blast photographing this couple and their little redhead!
One of the many things I love about photography is how it brings people together, and more personally, how it gives me the chance to reconnect with people I haven't seen in years! Believe it or not, I graduated with Joshua's brother from high school in 2011, just four short years ago. When their mom emailed me asking to schedule a session for Joshua, I was both excited and stunned that Joshua was a senior!
During his session, we visited the Mellon Institute and the Cathedral of Learning. An aspiring photographer himself, Joshua even brought his Nikon DSLR for a couple of shots! We had a great time taking your senior photos, Joshua! Best of luck to you as you finish up your last year at North Hills!
I love a good challenge. Anything that forces me to problem-solve or find a solution makes me excited. Upon arriving to Phipp's for Elena's session, we encountered lots of traffic and nightmarish parking. Why? Because we had unknowingly chosen to photograph Elena on Phipp's "free day," where Phipp's gave complimentary admission to anyone who walked through their doors. The place was packed, for good reason. But I had my challenge, and Elena was willing to face it with me. We avoided pedestrians, spectators, and grazers, and came up with some beautiful photos for her senior photo session.
Fun fact: Elena won free Moe's burritos for an entire year (one per week), starting just a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations on your last year of high school and your many burritos to come! ;)
Laura and Dan's intimate Heinz Chapel wedding made my heart melt! With 20 of their very closet friends and family, Laura and Dan exchanged heart-felt vows (I might've teared up a bit) on a gorgeous, sunny Pittsburgh morning. The bride's gorgeous ensemble was inspired by Kate Middleton's wedding day look (stunning, right?) - the perfect look for this black tie affair. I loved working with you two, Laura and Dan! Thank you for the honor of capturing your love!
Acres of land, owned by Kevin's family for over one hundred years, were our stomping grounds for Maryann and Kevin's engagement session. These two were naturals in front of the camera, posing themselves on the bridge Kevin built and picking apples from one of the many apple trees dotting the farmland. You might even spot of a photo of us from one of the tree cameras on their property. :) We loved hanging out with these two and can't wait for the wedding!
There are so many things I love about photographing people on Pittsburgh's North Shore. The mean reason: so much diversity! I love being able to photograph my subjects in so many different environments and settings, all within a short walking distance. Between the Andy Warhol bridge, the river, and PNC Park, you really can't go wrong with a North Shore session. Here are a few of my favorites from Jacob's senior shoot!
We met up with Mason, an Eden Christian Academy senior, on a bright summer evening in Oakland. We had a great time exploring the Mellon Institute, the Cathedral of Learning, and Heinz Chapel. Thanks for a great shoot, Mason! Best of luck to you during this last year of high school!
I have been so excited to share this session! Everything about this evening was perfect. Awesome location, beautiful light, and fellow Chipotle addicts (did I ever mention that our rehearsal dinner was catered by Chipotle?) make this night a memorable one. We loved photographing you two, Becky and Joe! Congratulations again!
