Oak Lodge: Pittsburgh Wedding Photography

/by

This fun wedding at Oak Lodge in Donegal, Pa., had an unstoppable joy to it.  This sweet couple endured planning a wedding during the pandemic and all of the complications that come with that, and they darted in and out of rain getting ready for their ceremony and during their photos that followed.  But what really warmed my heart is when they decided to dance in the rain when it wouldn’t let up during their reception.  They weren’t going to allow a little rain to ruin their fun!

Pittsburgh Family Portraits: Spring in Schenley Park

/by

Despite the fluctuating weather, signs of spring in Pittsburgh are popping up everywhere. Ushering in a new season is an opportunity to grow and approach my work bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (I couldn’t resist bunny imagery this close to Easter). At the same time, as I’ve shared this before, I love looking back on my past work to reflect on the moments I’ve captured and the families I’ve worked with. At this Pittsburgh family portrait session from last spring, I photographed the sweet family pictured here at Schenley Park.

Mom and Dad shared that they also had their engagement photos taken at home and hope to plan future sessions there to capture their family in the years to come.

Family Portraits Through the Tween Years

/by

Every now and then, I photograph a family when a child is about to graduate high school and learn that they haven’t been photographed as a family since the kids were babies.  And I really feel for them, although I try to keep that to myself to avoid adding to any regret they’re already experiencing.  Sometimes coordinating busy schedules for a photoshoot is that one task that just feels like too much where there are so many other things competing for our attention.  As encouragement to any families out there who haven’t been photographed in a while, I thought I’d share this fun session from a family with two daughters who are in the tween years.

Pittsburgh Family Photography: Seeing the Value in Everyday Moments

/by

Being able to look back at all kinds of moments in my family brings me a lot of peace and joy.  I love seeing the milestones, like birthdays and school portraits, but it’s the in-between moments that I really treasure.  And I think this session with this 6-month old cutie pie is a perfect example of capturing the everyday.
