Here is an example of pure craziness and love! Amber and Carrie took me on an adventure just outside of Amber’s hometown. It was one of the hottest days this summer. There were bugs, blood and dewey faces during their session but they rolled with the punches. I’m not sure that any other family could […]

When a client asks you to travel to Allegheny State Park for their engagement session you reply “date and time!” You hop in your car and you go! Not only is Allegheny State Park a huge part of Elizabeth and Dave’s life, it’s mine too. It was a no brainer to take the trip to […]

This family did not let the rain stop them for their portrait session! Hooray!!! Bobby, Lauren and their little love decided on Botanical Gardens for their session due to the rain. I can’t even handle how adorable their portraits turned out. Take a look!   We strolled through the different greenhouses and stayed warm! There […]

You guys! Do you remember combing through your moms photo drawers, her bins, her albums looking for that certain portrait. A portrait that you were dying to see! I certainly do. The smell of glue, the crinkle of the plastic protecting the images. My mother used to yell at me EVERY time I would go […]
