Leah & Matt: Duquesne University Power Center Wedding Photos

Leah & Matt had a wedding day filled with endless amounts of love, joy, and just the sweetest people!

It is an immeasurable blessing to get to share in some of the happiest days of people's lives, especially when I've had the privilege of working with them on quite a few occasions.

Leah & Matt had a vintage inspired wedding day that begin at Memorial Park Church in Allison Park, PA. We had a bit of fun with a fake first look, featuring Matt’s brother in a wedding dress from Goodwill - then, Matt saw his bride for the first time (for real this time!) when she walked down the aisle.

After the ceremony, we hopped over to Duquesne University for some photos, and then for a gorgeous reception the Duquesne Power Center!

Leah & Matt, you were an absolutely joy to photograph, and we pray all the best for you in your marriage! Congratulations, again!!

Brittany & Jason: Historic Harmony Maternity Photos

I had the BEST time hanging out a few weeks ago with these two in one of my favorite spots... Historic Harmony!

I photographed Brittany & Jason's elopement in downtown Pittsburgh nearly four years ago... and now, they are starting their next adventure with a new babe, and I was so honored that they asked me to document this new season! Also, I just adore maternity sessions. They are always such a blast - especially with couples I've photographed before!

Brittany & Jason, you are going to be incredible parents! Congratulations on your lil bundle of joy!!

Cameron F: North Allegheny Senior Photos

Cameron is a North Allegheny football player who I photographed over on the North Shore in front of Heinz Stadium for his senior photos a few weeks ago!

In true Pittsburgh fashion, the forecast took a turn for the not-so-great as we were driving on our way to the session. We decided to go for it anyways! It drizzled for about 50% of the time session, but we were still able to make some great images to celebrate his senior year!

Congratulations on your senior year, Cameron! ☺️

Anna & Ellie: Mellon Park Twin Senior Photos

How gorgeous are these ladies?! Twins are always so much fun to photograph, and these two were no exception! We had the most gorgeous evening for Anna & Ellie's session at Mellon Park... one of my favorite locations!

These two are seniors at Eden Christian Academy, which happens to be my high school alma mater… so much fun! Congratulations on your senior year, Anna & Ellie! ❤️

Cece H: Seneca Valley Senior Photos at Mellon Park

Cece had the most perfect evening for her photos at Mellon Park! The air was slightly crisp, and there was barely any humidity... and the LIGHT! It was unbelievable.

Cece is a rising senior at Seneca Valley who is involved in cheer & track! She's also a former gymnast, whose favorite food is sushi

Congratulations on your senior year, Cece!

Cassie & Nick: Shady Elms Farm Wedding Day

I am so thankful to have been a part of this wedding day!

We had the pleasure of meeting Cassie & Nick at Cassie’s brother’s wedding a few years ago! From that moment, I knew these two were a good time… so when Cassie contacted me asking if I could photograph her and Nick’s wedding day, I was absolutely stoked! I was even more excited to hear that they had chosen one of my all time favorite wedding venues - Shady Elms Farm - to be the location for their beautiful day! I didn’t think it could get any better until we met their friends & family on their wedding day. They were so kind, so fun, and so encouraging to photograph… all of them! And to top it all off, we had the most gorgeous golden hour to end their day with a bang.

Cassie & Nick, thank you for the huge, incredible honor of being a part of your wedding day!

Alexis S: Mellon Park Senior Photos

It was such a sweet treat to get to take Lexi's senior photos last month at the gorgeous Mellon Park!

This gorgeous senior is not only navigating senior year, but also her baking business that she operates out of her family's home! She brought an adorable customized rolling pin as a nod to her love for baking... along with her sweet pups, Cocoa and Checkers!

We had the best time hanging out with you, Lexi! Congratulations on your business and on your senior year!

Kuntal & Josh: Pittsburgh Engagement Photos

I had the loveliest evening a few weeks ago exploring the North Side & North Shore with these two!

Both originally from the West Coast, Kuntal & Josh met during medical school in Michigan. They were good friends for a good period of time before they started dating nearly a year ago, after they had both moved to Pittsburgh for the next steps in their medical careers & education.

Because Pittsburgh holds so many sweet memories for them as a couple, they decided to have their engagement photos taken here in some iconic Pittsburgh-esque locations before their wedding on the West coast this winter. They brought two drop-dead-gorgeous pairs of outfits that popped so well from their chosen scenery of the Mexican War Streets, Allegheny Commons Park, and North Shore Riverwalk!

These two are kind, intelligent, and so easy to get along with - what a blessing it was to photograph them!

Congratulations on your engagement, Kuntal & Josh!

Katie P: Mellon Park Senior Photos

Mellon Park has been quite the popular choice this year for senior photos! With its gorgeous flowers and architecture, along with lots of different picturesque spots within a very short walking distance, it’s a great spot for senior photos - possibly one of the most popular in Pittsburgh!

Because of its popularity, Mellon Park is usually full of photographers. Like, anywhere from 10 to 20 photo sessions going on at one time! But Katie’s session took place in the morning, which meant that we had the park almost entirely to ourselves… so we had our choice of all of the best spots! Even though it was super crazy early, it was SO worth it to be able to get these gorgeous images for Katie!

Katie is a senior at Seneca Valley who is graduating in 2022! She has the most gorgeous curly hair, and some mad braiding skills… which you’ll see below! Yes.. part of her wardrobe change was a hair change, which she did all on her own, without a mirror! That takes some serious skill.

Congratulations on your senior year, Katie!!

Jackie & Gerald: Coffee Date, Pastry Fight, & Summer Garden Engagement

On any given weekend, you will most likely find this pair at one of their favorite bakeries, brunch spots, cafes, restaurants, or - even better - finding a new spot to explore! So of course, for their engagement session, we had to visit a few of their favorite locations to capture them in their natural habitat, including the incredible Biddle's Escape & Madeleine Bakery & Bistro, who were gracious enough to allow us to use their little outdoor areas for some photos!

And WOW did we have a good time! I will admit - it was hot, it was sticky, and we all sustained various amounts of bug bites, but it was truly so SO worth it to get to capture this amazing pair - who, I have to mention, were SO natural in front of the camera! Their love, admiration, and respect for each other made them a complete joy to photograph.

Jackie & Gerald... we are so thankful for you! Thank you a million times for letting me walk alongside you in this season of your lives!
