Amy & Anthony: Indiana Country Club Wedding Anniversary

You might recognize these two if you’ve been following along on the blog over the last few years! ❤️I’ve had the pleasure of spending the last THREE Octobers in Indiana PA with these two - first with their engagement session back in 2019, then with their micro-wedding in 2020, and again this year for an anniversary celebration with all of their friends & family! Indiana PA is GORGEOUS in the fall!

Amy & Anthony were married last year on the coveted date of 10.10.20 surrounded by a very small group of friends & family. It was sweet, intimate, full of unexpected twists and turns (like the breakdown of the trolley that was supposed to carry all of the guests from one place to the next!).

And this year... they got to celebrate with so many more people that they hold near and dear to their hearts at Indiana Country Club! Though it was rainy day, it was still a beautiful celebration of their first year of marriage, filled with lots of little personal details! Including lots of Dunkin' donuts (their favorite dessert… and mine! ;) ), and a luggage tag favor to represent their love for travel. AND we were even able to sneak outside when the clouds parted for a few brief minutes after their ceremony!

Amy & Anthony, it was such an honor to get to celebrate with you AGAIN! When I think of or visit Indiana, PA, I will always think of you two. Congratulations on your first year of marriage!

DeFanti Family: Harmony Family Photos

What a blessing it was to work with this incredibly sweet family a few weeks ago again for some fall family photos!

Ada (mom) and I met through our mutual love of photography (and Disney ) years ago, and I had the privilege of photographing them on the Harmony Trail last night, which was a new (to me) spot for photos that will now be a go-to of mine in the fall!

I photographed these four FOUR years ago on their property (click here to see!). What an honor it was to have them back in front of my camera! Thank you for trusting me with these sweet memories! ❤️

Madison R: Moraine State Park Senior Photos

Madison is a senior at Slippery Rock who is a fan of reading, bugs, and is an artist - as well as a senior at Slippery Rock! She brought a book to incorporate into her senior photos as a nod towards her love for reading. Moraine State Park was absolutely gorgeous during the time of her session in October. It will forever be one of my favorite parks for fall photos!

Congratulations on your senior year, Madison!

Olivia A: Moraine State Park Senior Photos

I had the pleasure of taking some senior photos for Olivia during peek fall foliage at Moraine State Park back in October!

Olivia is a Deer Lakes senior who aspires to become an elementary school teacher post high school. Though she wouldn’t call herself a morning person, she was willing to switch her senior photos to a morning timeframe to avoid a week of very rainy evenings, and I am so thankful that she was! Morning light can be even more beautiful than evening light, and we had the BEST, softest, prettiest light for her photos!

Congratulations on your senior year, Olivia - and thank you so much for the honor of taking these photos for you!

Sydney T: Historic Harmony Senior Photos

Sydney’s session took place during one of the rainiest weeks in October! But thankfully, we were able to bypass the rain and get some amazing photos in one of my favorite locations! The setting was perfect, her outfits were so perfect for fall… I love when everything comes together!

Sydney is a Seneca Valley senior and a dedicated field director/drum major! She loves science, and hopes to study within the medical field post high school. And she's just an all around sweetheart!

Congrats on your senior year, Sydney!!

Daniel C: North Park Senior Photos

We had the best time hanging out with Daniel at North Park a few weeks ago for his senior photos... AND this is the first session of mine in a while where it actually didn't rain for the entire time! For that, I was so thankful!

Daniel is a Pine Richland senior who loves Astronomy and cooking! He hopes to study culinary science post high school. He's an all around super kind and fun guy! Congratulations on your senior year, Daniel!

I also had the pleasure of taking Daniel’s brother’s senior photos last year - feel free to check them out here! It’s always such an honor to get to work with families multiple times!

Caitlin & Tanner: Bella Sera Wedding Photos

WOW is all I can say! These two planned their "small wedding ceremony now, big reception later" before it was a "thing" . Though they've been married for two years, they finally got to celebrate with their friends & family this past weekend - on the most beautiful, first week of October weekend - at the gorgeous Bella Sera!

I had the pleasure of taking their engagement photos just a few months ago, where I was able to hear more about the story of how they met! They were complete strangers until Caitlin’s car broke down at an airport, and Tanner - the good samaritan stranger - offered to help. And after that, it’s all history!

Caitlin & Tanner, thank you so, SO much for letting me be a part of your celebration. Congratulations on two amazing years of marriage!

Gregory B: North Side Senior Photos

Oh Pittsburgh, with its ever changing forecast and unpredictability.

I had the pleasure of taking Greg's senior photos around the North Side & North Shore a few weeks ago, and while it unexpectedly rained for the majority of his session, we were still able to get some great shots to celebrate his senior year!

It's been such an honor to work with this great family throughout the years (Grant and George) - I had the pleasure of photographing Greg's two brothers before him! It's hard to believe that he is the last of the siblings!

Congratulations on your senior year, Greg!

Sophie W: Strip District & North Shore Senior Photos

We braved all of the elements last night during Sophie's session, but neither wind nor rain could keep us from taking her photos!

We started out in the Strip District with some colorful steps and grungy walls, then to the top of a parking garage with the prettiest city view, then headed over to the North Shore... and when the clouds finally parted there, we were greeted with a rainbow! A precious reminder of God's promise to the world - and a reminder to me that God is in control of the weather and all elements... and all of our days!

Sophie is a North Catholic senior who hopes to study business & marketing post-high school! She loves Mexican food and played softball for many, many years!

Congrats on your senior year, Sophie!

Casey & Danny: St. Vincent College Engagement Photos

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of traveling to St. Vincent College (in Latrobe) to photograph Casey & Danny’s engagement photos - and I had an absolute blast with them! They are two of the sweetest people and I am so completely honored to be taking their wedding photos next year!!! ❤️

These are no ordinary engagement photos... these photos and their locations represent so many sweet moments for Casey & Danny! The bench where they had their first date, where they got engaged... the pathways they walked getting to know each other better...

And now, the location where they had their engagement photos taken! It was so much fun to have a little walk down memory lane with these two at a place that is so special to both of them. And not only that... they are two of the sweetest people you'll ever meet! Casey & Danny, it was such an honor to take these photos for you. Congratulations on your engagement, and I can't wait to celebrate you both on your wedding day!
