North Park has so many great outdoor spots for senior photos. From fall trees, to fields, to a fall tree, Kathleen's session hit all of my favorite North Park spots! She even brought along a couple of her favorite books (including Harry Potter - yes!) and stethoscope (she's going to school to study nursing). Congratulations, Kathleen!
I have known this beautiful lady for so long! We photographed her dance photos a few years ago, and it was an honor for her to pick JHP for her senior photos! We stayed in Oakland for her photos, hitting the Cathedral of Learning and Phipp's Conservatory, plus a few spots in between. We had such a fun time with you, Emily! Congratulations on your senior year!
I love this family! I've been photographing this lovely family for a year or two now, and their love for each other (and their dog Milo) is a beautiful thing! We found some great areas around Cranberry Township for their fall session, and had a little fun near the end of the shoot with some Red Riding Hood and princess costumes. Check out some of my favorites from this fun session below!
Emily & Jared were married at the end of September on a gorgeous, early-fall day. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful couple, bridal party, and family.
There are so many details that made this wedding one of a kind. From the programs designed by a friend of the bride to the endless array of details carefully placed throughout Dundee Farm, this wedding was truly a joy to capture from beginning to end. (We were even able to sneak the bride & groom out for a couple of portraits during golden hour!) I consider it an honor to have been a part of your day, Emily and Jared. Praying that God blesses your marriage!

Fall family sessions are so much fun, especially with a family like this one (and with a location like Hartwood Acres Mansion, you can never go wrong!). During our session, I found out this lovely couple picked Hartwood Acres because it reminded them of their architecture found in England (where they lived for 8 years before moving back to the states). I love all of the little things I learn about people while taking their photo! Enjoy a few of my favorites from their family session below.
You know you're going to have an awesome session when your couple brings a sword. To a park. YES.
Chrissy + Chris were a blast to photograph in Riverview Park on a gorgeous Sunday in mid-October (sword and all!). Their natural chemistry and overflowing love for each other made their session incredibly easy-going and light-hearted. We can't wait to photograph these two tying the knot in just a couple of months! Thanks for a wonderful shoot you two!
Jenn and Larry had an absolutely gorgeous morning for their engagement session on the North Shore. This lovely couple did a fantastic job in front of the camera, and even brought along a couple of pumpkins as props for their "save the dates!" (Props to Larry for painting on the words/numbers!) We can't wait for your spring wedding, Jenn + Larry!
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!
