Pittsburgh Lifestyle Newborn Session | Jack

This family was a referral from some current clients of mine, and it turns out they live less than a mile from my home! It was so nice to both welcome Jack to the world with some newborn photos, and meet some new neighbors. Their home was perfect for photos, and we popped into almost every room!

Allegheny Commons Park Family Portraits | The Croyles

Allegheny Commons is one of my favorite parks near the city! It always has the best light, and is a great background for any kind of portrait. My friends the Croyles popped down on a weekday to sneak in some family portraits before work, and they turned out so perfectly. Bringing some bubbles always helps engage the kiddos!

Rainy Day Engagement Session | Marissa & Billy

There was a zero percent chance of rain on the day of Marissa & Billy’s session, but that didn’t stop the rain from happening anyway. It absolutely poured the second half of their shoot. Luckily, these two were down to adventure and they went out and danced in the rain. We got completely soaked, and decided to finish their session a few days later. Well worth it!

North Shore & Mt. Washington Engagement | Lily & Kevin

When your clients are ballroom dancers, you get extra epic photos with many, many lifts. Also, can I just say that I love this combination of locations? Allegheny Commons Park always gets the best light, and then we ended with classic Pittsburgh spots to grab that beautiful skyline. Sometimes it is great to be a photographer in PIttsburgh!
