Historic Harmony Family Photos

'Tis the season for family photos!

I loved photographing this family of three (almost four!) in celebration of this season that's coming down the pike for them! They chose one of my favorite spots... Historic Harmony! And it was all decorated for Christmas, which made it all the more fun!

Congratulations to this sweet family on their soon-to-be extra addition!

Beaver In Home Lifestyle Family Photos

The sweetest in home family session to celebrate one year of life for little Ezra!

We had the pleasure of getting to be neighbors with this sweet family until just about a month ago, when they moved to another part of town! So of course, it was a joy to see them in a beautiful new space. Even though we were sad to see them go!

In home sessions can be a great way to get some photos of the fam in the comfort of your own space, away from the cold! Ezra stayed happy and content in a space he was familiar with, which made things easier for mom & dad!

An in home session can be a great option for the colder months here in Pittsburgh. Enjoy a few of my favorites from their session!

Frick Park Family Photos

I am always excited when I’m asked to take photos around Frick Park/the Frick Museum in Pittsburgh. It is such a beautiful area of Pittsburgh that I don’t always have an excuse to visit… so getting to work there is always exciting!

And it just so happens that I have gotten to photograph this couple twice in this beautiful location that is oh-so special to them!

I took Petra & Kevin’s engagement photos back in 2020 in these very locations - and three years and one baby later, I was so excited to be back here again with them! With plans to possibly move out of state, they wanted to document - one more time - how special this spot is to them.

It was such a pleasure to get to photograph this sweet family. Enjoy a few of my favorite images from their session below!

Zelienople Family Photos

This session was a joy for so many reasons!

I first met Sam and Anthony back in 2017 after they had recently gotten engaged. I took their engagement photos that year, and then photographed their wedding in 2018 (click here to see!). This year, I had the privilege of photographing them as a family of four during peak fall on the Historic Harmony trail… one of my favorite locations in the fall!

It is always an honor and privilege to get to photograph growing families over the years. Thank you so much to Sam & Anthony for letting me photograph this season of life for you!

Hartwood Acres Mansion Mini Family Photo Session

You may recognize one of the faces in this family from a blog post a few weeks ago (see it here!). In addition to photographing Alexis’s senior photos, I had the pleasure of photographing her with her family. For seniors booking a session with me, it is always fun to add a family “mini” session on for some updated portraits of the whole family together! And this family did a great job in front of the camera!

Family Legacy Photos at McConnell's Mill

Quite possibly the sweetest way to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary? Photos with your grandchildren. What a wonderful idea!

It was a blessing to get to celebrate alongside this sweet family this evening! Congrats to these Nana & Grampy on 50 years or marriage - what a legacy to leave for your grandchildren!

Hartwood Acres Mansion Family Photos

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet couple a few years ago when their first child was on the way at this very same location - and I had the pleasure of photographing them again as their second child is on the way! ❤️

Marie & Stanley are the type of people you meet and instantly love to be around. Besides being parents, they are also phenomenal wedding photographers, which is actually how we met! It is always such a joy to catch up with them and to see their sweet family grow.

Marie & Stanley - thank you both for the immense joy of being a part of this season! We are so thankful to know you guys!

Allegheny Rivertrails Park Family Photos

We had the most beautiful evening for this family’s photo session around Allegheny Rivertrails Park in Aspinwall! Not only is this park so beautifully Pittsburgh (with bridges that run above it and it’s location right on the river!), but it is also a very special place for this family, who comes here often!

I actually photographed this family for the first time 8 years ago back in 2015! (Click here to see!) It’s wild to me that I’ve actually been in business that long… 2014 was the year I “officially” became a business, though I had been taking photos of and for people since 2011.

A huge thank you to this family for letting me be a part of capturing this season in their lives! ❤️

McConnell's Mill Spring Family Photos

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family during my Spring Mini Session Event in early May of 2023! I’ve known Emily (the mom!) for a few years, as we are both photographers in the northern Pittsburgh area - she is an amazing newborn photographer who I LOVE recommending to anyone who asks me for newborn photos! (Click here to see her work!)

Something I adored about photographing this family was how kind and loving they were to one another! You could tell that they all genuinely love being together, and being close. It made my job so very easy!

Emily, thank you for having me take these photos for your sweet family. You all are a joy!

McConnell's Mill Spring Family Photos

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family at McConnell’s Mill State Park in the early Spring during my Spring Mini Session Event in May!

We had a beautiful evening, and it was just the right temperature - not too hot or too cold! And how beautiful are their outfits?! These kids were so well behaved and sweet towards one another, they made my job SO easy! A huge thanks to this sweet family for letting me capture this sweet season of their lives!
