New Orleans Couple's Session | Alayna & Daniel

This was a quintessential New Orleans photoshoot. We started in Audubon Park at the Tree of Life. The sunlight streaming through the trees made me miss summertime. I just couldn’t get enough of that light. Back in Pittsburgh it snowed the day of this session.

This was a quintessential New Orleans photoshoot. We started in Audubon Park at the Tree of Life. The sunlight streaming through the trees made me miss summertime. I just couldn’t get enough of that light. Back in Pittsburgh it snowed the day of this session (of course).

Alayna and Daniel were easy to capture. They laughed and danced the afternoon away. The session ended in the French Quarter right at sunset. How sweet are they!?

Red Rock Canyon | Peyton & Levi

As most of you know, I've been out west traveling and exploring the state & national parks within driving distance from Vegas. One of my goals was to get some beautiful couple's sessions in while I was out there. Peyton & Levi were kind enough to wake up at the crack of dawn to meet me for a sunrise session right outside of Red Rock Canyon. When we got there, the sun still wasn't over the horizon.

Looking back through these images is already making me miss that beautiful western light. I think I need to have more photoshoots at sunrise (with lots and lots of coffee).

Brittany & Sefako | A Wheeling Airport Couple's Session

Brittany & Sefako got married, but haven't had the opportunity to celebrate with friends and family, as they've been busy focusing on med school. Now that they are finishing up, the time has come to throw a party, and that means making some epic save-the-dates!

Brittany & Sefako | A Wheeling Airport Couple's Session

Brittany & Sefako got married, but haven't had the opportunity to celebrate with friends and family, as they've been busy focusing on med school. Now that they are finishing up, the time has come to throw a party, and that means making some epic save-the-dates!

Their celebration is travel themed, since they love to travel together. What better way to pull of that theme than to have an photoshoot at an airport - with a PLANE! Yes, we were able to borrow a plan for their shoot down at the Wheeling Ohio County Airport. Of course all the images turned out amazing - see for yourself!

Jourdan & Vince | Phipps & Mt. Washington Engagement

Jourdan & Vince are getting married next month.  Luckily, we managed to sneak in an engagement session, just under the wire!  They wanted to capture an authentic, Pittsburgh shoot, so we went to a few classic locations - Phipps and Mt. Washington.

Jourdan & Vince are getting married next month.  Luckily, we managed to sneak in an engagement session, just under the wire!  They wanted to capture an authentic, Pittsburgh shoot, so we went to a few classic locations - Phipps and Mt. Washington.  I'm especially drawn to the sunset images overlooking the city.  Love them!

Csongi & Yvette | Budapest, Hungary

As many of you know, I traveled to Budapest last week to attend the Fearless Photographers Conference (and tour lots of cool places of course!).  I'll be writing a blog post soon that has all the amazing details and photos of the trip, so keep an eye out this week!

As many of you know, I traveled to Budapest last week to attend the Fearless Photographers Conference (and tour lots of cool places of course!).  I'll be writing a blog post soon that has all the amazing details and photos of the trip, so keep an eye out this week!

While we were there, Sandra (the owner of Sandrachile and awesome traveling companion) really wanted to photograph a styled shoot.  She posted in a Budapest Facebook group to look for models.  A few people volunteered, and she ended up talking with some awesome couples.  She chose who she wanted to work with, and asked the other couple if they'd be willing to work with me.

That other couple ended up being Csongi & Yvette, who are two amazing individuals.  They met me by our AirBnb, and we walked around the city capturing beautiful images.  When I asked if there were anymore places they'd like to go, they volunteered to drive me up to the overlook, a beautiful historic area called the Fortress.  While driving through the city, they gave me a tour, telling me the stories and history of the area.  We spend almost 3 hours together, and they ended the night by giving me a magnet of Budapest!  How sweet!?!?!

Here's a sneak peek of some of their images.  Thank you both!

Karen & Mike | A Coffee & Frozen Yogurt Engagement Session

Karen & Mike | A Coffee & Frozen Yogurt Engagement Session

Karen & Mike are fun, down-to-earth people.  They're getting married this year, so we started planning out their engagement shoot as soon as they booked.  We tossed around some ideas, and decided that what felt the most authentic was to photograph their favorite dates.  Karen sent me two placed - Generosta Coffee and YuM Frozen Yogurt.  Luckily, both places graciously allowed us to capture pictures.

The photos turned out to be a great mix of documentary & posed.  I'm so excited to photograph their wedding in September!

Congrats!

Abby & Nate | A Rolling Hills Ranch Engagement Session | Pittsburgh

abby & Nate | A Rolling Hills Ranch Engagement Session | Pittsburgh

I've known Nate and Abby since high school, and it was a joy to be able to capture their engagement pictures.  Abby & Nate are avid riders, and Nate actually proposed to her at Rolling Hills Ranch.  It was the perfect location to have their engagement shoot.  

Considering how late in the season it was, we ended up with picture perfect weather.  We started the session up in a small field, but then decided to expand their session to an actual ride - yep, I had to go too!  Definitely not what I expected!  But we had a ton of fun, and captured incredible images.

Check them out!
