Lauren + Aleks: Pittsburgh Hotel Monaco Wedding Photographer

Lauren + Aleks had one of the most beautiful weddings I've been privileged to photograph! If you've never been to the Hotel Monaco (A Kimpton Hotel) in Pittsburgh, you're in for a treat - it's one of the most stunning, modern wedding venues I've ever seen! In addition to a gorgeous venue, Lauren + Aleks' ceremony was held at the Holy Trinity Serbian Cathedral. After the ceremony, we headed to the North Shore for some quick Roberto Clemente Bridge shots, and finished the portrait session of the day back at the Hotel Monaco, where the unique decor made for some stunning shots!

Sarah A: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photographer

During her session, Sarah confessed that she doesn't like having her photo taken. That's fair, a lot of people aren't used to being in front of the camera. But to be honest - Sarah was SUCH a natural in front of my lens! First, she's gorgeous, and second, she has the perfect "model face" down! This girl absolutely knows how to work the camera, and she made my job incredibly easy. Thanks for being awesome Sarah!

Graham Family: North Park Family Photographer (Cranberry Township Photographer)

Hadley and her parents were naturals in front of the camera on the chilly November afternoon we took their portraits at North Park! We started off around the North Park Boathouse and gradually worked our way into the Over the Bar Bicycle Cafe, where we were able to get some photos of a cake smash for Hadley's first birthday! (Thanks to the wonderful staff at OTB Bicycle Cafe for letting us make a bit of a mess!) This family was a joy to photograph!

Kim + Darren: Geneva College (Beaver Falls) Engagement Photographer

We loved photographing these two college sweethearts where they first met, at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA! We've known these two for a couple of years now, and are so excited to see them tie the knot and officially begin their lives together. Congratulations on your engagement, Kim + Darren!

Aaron F: Pittsburgh North Shore Senior Photographer

The North Shore is one of my favorite spots for photos! Aaron's session took place on an usually warm afternoon in November during a Steeler game. I've known Aaron for a long time, and it was an honor to take his senior portraits.

Becca + Dave: Northmoreland Park Engagement Photographer

Becca + Dave's Northmoreland Park engagement session took place on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Even though it took place in November, we were still able to find some gorgeous fall color! Congratulations again to these two sweet people!

Jess + Todd: Station Square Sheraton Wedding Photographer (Pittsburgh)

Jess + Todd's gorgeous fall wedding was a true Pittsburgh celebration! Their ceremony took place at the grotto at St. John and Paul Catholic Church, with photos at the West End Overlook, and a reception at the Station Square Sheraton, overlooking the Pittsburgh skyline. Swoon. Congratulations again to these two great people!

Megan G: Oakland Senior Photographer (Pittsburgh)

I love when Pittsburgh cooperates in November! We had gorgeous weather for Megan's senior shoot. It's hard to believe we took these photos in the middle of November! This professional lady is a fellow Disney lover (much like me and my husband), who plans on working for Disney someday! I love people with big dreams, especially people who are intent on making them happen. I'll come visit you in Disney, Megan! ;)

Hannah F: Hartwood Acres Senior Photographer

Hartwood Acres Mansion has easily become one of my favorite spots for photos because of the variety of locations it offers within a short walking distance. We had so much fun hanging out with Hannah - congratulations on your last year of school!

Trina + Jeff: Cranberry Township Engagement Photographer

Trina and Jeff incorporated so many pieces of who they are into in this shoot. We started off taking photos at Grace Community Church in Cranberry Township, where they both first met. They incorporated a bag of Doritos as an inside joke. And then we finished off at the Haine Fire Department, where Jeff has volunteered for a number of years. These two are awesome - enjoy some of my favorites from their session!
