Trudy & Isaac: Historic Harmony Engagement Photos

Meet Trudy & Isaac!

These two chose the beautiful town of Historic Harmony for their engagement photos... which was the perfect mix of fall & Christmas!

I photographed Trudy's high school senior photos back in 2021... and it was such an honor to have her back in front of my camera!

Trudy & Isaac, a huge congratulations to you on your engagement... thanks for trusting me with documenting this sweet season for you!

Historic Harmony Christmas Family Photos

Check out this precious family! I had the pleasure of photographing these three in Harmony this past weekend for their Christmas photos... as gifts for grandparents! What better gift could a grandparent ask for

Also, one of my favorite things about photographing toddlers is that they are always on the move. It makes the photos so candid and natural (even though it can feel a bit chaotic for the parents in the midst of the session).

Christmas Tree Farm Mini Photo Sessions at Grupp's Christmas Tree Farm

Christmas Tree Farm Mini Photo Sessions at Grupp's Christmas Tree Farm

Christmas tree farm mini photo sessions have become some of my favorite types of sessions to photograph throughout my career! I only began hosting them a few years ago, and I LOVE how so many of the families I photograph return year after year and make it a part of their Christmas tradition!

This year, I hosted these sessions at Grupp’s Christmas Tree Farm for the first time. And it was a HUGE hit! The owner of the farm even had a vintage red truck for us to use… which gave us one more fun backdrop to use! The kids especially loved the truck, and I love the images we were able to get!

To all of the families who joined me this year (2025) for photos… thank you so much for trusting me with these sweet memories! I truly cherish your sweet families and your trust in me. And a huge thank you to Grupp’s Tree Farm for letting us take photos here, and my assistant, Dani, for helping me!

Jayden W: Pittsburgh Color Park Senior Photos

Jayden is a senior in Pittsburgh who plays the bass and is an incredible artist! It only made sense that the Color Park be the backdrop for his senior session. I've always wanted to have a session here! When Jayden told me he would be bringing his bass and wanted some night shots, I knew it was going to be a great shoot.

Congrats on your senior year, Jayden!

Empty Nester Christmas Photo Session Idea

Empty Nester Christmas Photo Session Idea

I have never photographed a session like this before in my 12 years of taking portraits!

This “Empty Nester” Christmas photo concept is one of the most unique Christmas card photo ideas I’ve yet to see!

These two came to me wanting to do something different for their Christmas card. It is their first year as “Empty Nesters,” so instead of taking a typical family photo for their card, they decided to lean into the transitional season they are in and take some photos featuring their “empty nest.”

What was so funny about this session is that one of their kids was actually there for dinner… so they helped us with the confetti portion! 🤣

Congratulations on these two empty nesters! If you live in the Pittsburgh area and are looking for photos to document your unique season of life, I’d love to work with you!

Holt is an Upper St Clair senior, and is the unofficial "tech guy" in his family... it only makes sense that he plans to study Cyber Security post high school!

Holt's session took place at McConnell's Mill and Moraine State Park on one of the most perfect September evenings - the light was just right! And Holt's twin sister jumped in for a few photos too. We had so much fun with this session... congrats on your senior year, Holt!

Meet Ben!

Ben is a senior at Mars High School who plays basketball - his session in Historic Harmony was a great one! Great light, great location with lots of backdrops to work with - and lots of fun! I photographed his sister a few years ago in Harmony for her senior portraits, and it was so fun to be back working with such a great family!

Congrats on your senior year, Ben!

Lilly brought three gorgeous outfits, including this beautiful blue maxi dress that was so striking against the Hartwood mansion!
