Derek is a senior at South Park High School who plays hockey, soccer, and plans to study business post high school! Last night was the perfect summer night for his senior photos - congratulations on your senior year, Derek!
Sophie is a rising Pine Richland senior who has been dancing for nearly 15 years! It was so much fun to capture so many different looks for her during her senior session at Hartwood. Her variety of outfits fit Hartwood's mansion and gardens beautifully!
Congratulations on your senior year, Sophie!
Rebecca & Mike are celebrating 10 years of marriage, and they decided to celebrate with photos at Moraine State Park!
One of the first things these two said when we started talking about their anniversary was "if we can make it together through Covid - being around each other 24/7 for as long as we were - we can make it through anything." I love their persevering & enduring attitude. Difficulty can always be turned into fruitfulness in the hands of God!
Besides being married for 10 years and making it through Covid together, these two were just so genuinely fun to spend an evening with. It was truly such a joy!
Congratulations on your anniversary, Rebecca & Mike! Here's to many more!
Kaelin is an upcoming Pine-Richland senior who plans to attend IUP post-high school to study marketing. She loves Mexican food and ice cream and we had a beautiful summer night for her photos at Succop Nature Park!
It's been so long since I've been to Succop, and I forgot how much I love it! There is so much variety to work with in terms of backdrops for photos - the willow tree, mansion, barn, and other forest-dense areas. Kaelin brought the perfect coordinating outfits, too, which really helped make her photos pop!
The only downside was the plethora of goose poop around the willow tree. Note: consider wearing close-toed shoes if you'll be here. I personally learned that lesson the hard way
Congrats on your senior year, Kaelin!
Neely is a 2025 graduate who plays hockey and lacrosse - and loves ice cream! Her senior session took place in town around Zelienople - an underrated location for photos, in my opinion!
Neely brought three gorgeous, colorful outfits that really helped her pop off the background of her photos. And we even found some beautiful summer light - behind a BP gas station, of all places!
Neely, you were a joy to photograph - congrats on your senior year!
Amber and Ryan had a beautiful wedding day at the the Monarch Veil in Sarver, PA this past weekend! I've had the pleasure of being a part of documenting their story since Ryan proposed to Amber. It was such an honor to get to be a part of their wedding day, too.
Congratulations on your marriage, Amber & Ryan!
Meet Andrew Jr. and his sweet parents!
I can't believe I've had the joy of photographing two of my past wedding couples in the past week in their new season of life as parents. This time I had the privilege of photographing Andrew Jr. and his parents, Maria & Andrew!
The very last picture is a sign of all four grandparents' handwriting. So sweet!
Meet Miss Liliana, and her very proud parents
I don't take on many newborn sessions, but every time I do them, I reminded of just how much I love them. Being invited into a family's home during such a huge season of change is no small honor. Especially since I photographed Atalya & Chase's wedding back in 2024. View their wedding photos here!
Ryann is a senior at North Catholic who plans to study Nursing at Penn State this upcoming fall! She is involved in French Honors Society, stage crew, National Honors Society, and loves baking and drawing/painting.
Ryann is the third sibling in her family I've had the privilege of photographing for their senior year! I am always so honored when families trust me throughout the years with memories of these big milestones.
We had a pretty spring evening for Ryann's senior photos. The greenery and florals were so vibrant at Mellon Park! And we even found a beautiful yellow floral bush to compliment Ryann's yellow sundress.
Congratulations on your senior year, Ryann!
Meet Gabby!
Gabby is a senior at Canon-Mcmillan who traveled all the way up to Hartwood Acres Mansion for her senior photos last night!
We were originally scheduled to take her photos a few days prior, but due to some unpredictable rain & storms that day, we postponed to later in the week. And honestly... I'm so glad we did! We ended up having the most beautiful spring day for her photos around the mansion - so many trees were in bloom!
There was also a little surprise that took place during Gabby's session, unbeknownst to her... scroll through to see what happened!
Congratulations on your senior year, Gabby!
