January in Pittsburgh can bring feet of snow or 50-degree days. Thankfully for Laura, Justin and their two boys, yesterday was juuuust warm enough to manage a quick, fun shoot at Mellon Park. Their bright red vests brightened up the gray day and made for some adorable pictures. Enjoy this sneak peek, Slieker family!

I enjoyed my last shoot of 2022 with the Krebs family today! We braved the cold for a few quick shots outside, made great use of their picture-perfect staircase and recreated a few shots from prior years. Enjoy this sneak peek!

I've been a part-time photographer for more than a decade now, and that means that some of the families I photographed years ago are reaching new milestones and celebrating new beginnings. Today, I took senior photos for Alexa, two years after taking senior photos of her sister, Mia and four years after taking senior photos of her brother, Keenan. I'm glad to have captured all three Gliozzi kids and to celebrate with their mom, Tracie Gliozzi as her youngest child graduates this year! Enjoy this sneak peek, Tracie and Alexa!

Senior photo session is in full swing! Here's a sneak peek for Joe and his family from our session today!

Tonight's Mother's Day photo shoot for my friend Shawna, her sister Rachel and their mom (plus families/significant others) required a bit of creativity when Mother Nature decided to rain all day, but we made it work. Enjoy this sneak peek, ladies!

Welcome to the world, Vaeda Lewis! I have been regularly photographing this family for the last 5 years, through their last three newborns and lots of family sessions. They are over the moon for their new addition, baby Vaeda -- the first girl to join her four brothers. It was SO FUN to play with headbands and tutus for this shoot! Enjoy this sneak peek, Kristin and Damon!!

I was grateful for an almost 50 degree day today that allowed me to squeeze in one last Christmas card photo shoot for some great friends of mine! Enjoy this sneak peek, McAfee family!

I'm pretty sure it's every photographer's dream to stumble on a marriage proposal when they happen to have their gear with them. I had that experience this weekend, on a quick getaway to Cherry Springs State Park. This happy couple had a friend with them who gave me her phone number, so I was able to get the photos to them today. Sharing them here because it was a beautiful moment!

It was a beautiful day to photograph a golf outing to benefit the Mario Lemieux foundation! Thanks as always to Mia Feinberg and family for the opportunity to capture more special moments for you! Enjoy this sneak peek of your photos from today.

The last time I photographed Maddy, she was all little girl. Tonight, when I showed up to photograph her for her 10th birthday, I was amazed at the beautiful young lady she's becoming! Enjoy this sneak peek of your photos, Stephanie! Thanks for the fun evening!

I had the opportunity to take headshots and new family photos for one of my favorite families today! Enjoy this sneak peek, Kristin Steiner Lewis!

I last photographed this little lady when she was just 9 months old. Now she's four and full of fun! I loved capturing her bright personality in our session today. (Also, this location is one of the best-kept photography secrets in Pittsburgh. Message me to set up a session here this summer.)

It has been a minute since I've posted here, but with summer family/portrait season upon us, I decided it was about time to shake the dust off of this page and get back to posting. In the last month, I've been able to TRAVEL again, so here are a few highlights from recent trips to Kentucky (Churchill Downs), Tennessee (Grand Ole Opry) and Virginia (Williamsburg/Jamestown). Enjoy!
