Kayla + Michael: Hartwood Acres Engagement Photographer

I really admire these two. The day of their engagement session, there was a 15% chance of rain. Usually, 15% doesn't worry me, and typically passes over the area quickly. Well, during Kayla and Michael's shoot, it rained the entire time (except for the first part, while we were shooting inside! ;) ). I admire these two for their willingness to embrace the rain and still have their garden coffee date regardless of the stormy skies looming above them and the pouring rain around them, and for their positivity throughout the entire session! Because of their good attitudes (and willingness to try out my crazy ideas!), we were able to come up with some truly beautiful, unique images, and had a lot of fun in the process! 

In addition to their rainy coffee date, we also had the opportunity to visit the school where Kayla and Michael first met, and started dating! Such a fun personal detail to include.

Thank you for your positivity and willingness to push through the rain, Kayla and Michael! It says so much about the two of you and the foundation you're building your marriage upon. We can't wait for the wedding!

Grove City College Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet group of girls from Grove City College a few weeks ago - a group of girls who were randomly assigned to a group with a leader, and managed to hit it off and stay together all the way through their senior year! Also, in the photos below, they're holding all of the books they studied together through the years! Congratulations on your last year of school, ladies!

Andrew T: Harmony Senior Photographer

It's hard to believe Andrew is now a senior - I babysit him and his brother when I was in high school! Congratulations on your last year of school, Andrew! Also - take note of his killer style (see Darth Vadar patterned shirt below!)

Maya R: Hartwood Acres Senior Photographer

On our drive up to Maya's photo session, it POURED. Like, the entire way, massive amounts of rain. But as soon as we stepped out of the car to shoot, the most gorgeous light appeared! We had so much fun hanging out with her, her family, and her boyfriend during her session! Congratulations on your last year of school, Maya!

Lauren N: McConnell's Mill Sweet Sixteen Birthday Photographer

I had the honor of taking Lauren's photos on her sixteenth birthday! That's right, for her sweet sixteen, Lauren had a photo session gifted to her - and we had so much fun hanging out with her! Not to mention, she's a pro in front of the camera - I barely had to pose her at all! Enjoy a few of my favorites from this beautiful girl's photo session!

Jackie + Mike: Hartwood Acres Mansion Engagement Photographer

These two high school sweethearts chose one of my favorite spots for their engagement photos - Hartwood Acres Mansion! And they even brought their dog along for a couple of shots. Thanks for a great time, Jackie and Mike! Congratulations again on your engagement!

Sandy + Tom: Pittsburgh Marriott North Wedding Photographer

I love how life comes full circle. Starting at the end of high school and all through college, I worked in the banquets department of the Pittsburgh Marriott North - where Sandy and Tom had their wedding reception! It was fun to photograph a space I know so well and have seen photographed before by so many others.

We started off Sandy and Tom's wedding day at their home in Cranberry Township photographing her gorgeous bridal details! After, we headed over to one of my favorite ceremony locations, Calvary United Methodist Church, for a gorgeous ceremony, and later to the Pittsburgh Marriott North for the reception. Congratulations on your marriage, Sandy and Tom!

Baby Emerson: Sewickley Family Photographer

Like most people, I have a love/hate relationship with getting outside of my comfort zone. Photographing little Emerson was a little out of my comfort zone, but I am beyond thankful that I had the opportunity to photograph her and her parents within the first few weeks of her life and am so excited to share these images! Emerson's mom (Danielle) had so many beautiful details and ideas for photos - from fresh cut flowers from a local shop in Sewickley, to an iron crown fit for a queen, to the cutest little teepee - this family was such a joy to photograph! Keep scrolling to see a few of my favorites :)

Lauren P: Hartwood Acres Senior Photographer

We had the most beautiful day for Lauren's senior photos! Congratulations on your last year of school, Lauren!

K Family: Hartwood Acres Family Photographer

This family is so much fun! We had so much fun running around Hartwood Acres Park with these two parents and their three little munchkins. They had races, played in bubbles, and got tickled... a lot! Thanks for a wonderful time, you five!
