I meet a lot of good people in my line of work. Sweet people with sweet souls - and Kelly is one of those people! Her confidence and love for helping others makes her beautiful from the inside out. I'm so honored that we were able to take her senior photos! Especially since it was at one of my favorite spots: Phipp's Conservatory in Oakland!
It's always an honor when I get to photograph members of the same family - even when it's years apart from each other! I photographed Clay's brother, Alex, a couple of years ago when I was fairly new to the business. It's hard to believe his brother is not graduating! We loved hanging out with Clay at Moraine State Park (a great location for fall colors!) on a brisk, autumn afternoon. Thanks for a great shoot, Clay!
Chaueen is a senior from South Korea studying at Eden Christian Academy. With a love for fashion, Chaueen wanted to incorporate her passion into her shoot. Her adorable outfits, fashion pin board, and old sewing machine brought her shoot to life in the little town of Zelienople! Also - I barely had to pose her! She is quite a natural in front of the camera. Thanks for a great shoot, Chaueen - and good luck on the rest of your senior year!
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!
Laura and her mom's very similar engagement rings.
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!
