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 (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!?

Want me to travel to your city for a photoshoot? Let’s talk details!

You all know how I LOVE to travel. While Covid put a damper on things for a while, now that the whole family is vaccinated, I was so ready to get back at it! We kicked it off in a big way with a week long vacation to capture Sam & Curt’s wedding in Salt Lake! It is such a gorgeous city surrounded by mountains.

These two celebrated with friends and family on the wedding day. Included were special touches with paintings and more. The day after, we adventured into the mountains to grab portraits of the two of them.

Charleston Engagement Session | Polina & Cameron

I LOVE traveling. It is a core part of my identity. So when Polina asked if I’d come down to Charleston for their engagements, of course I said yes! It ended up being my daughter’s first flight at 3 months old as well, so we really had an adventure. I can’t wait to celebrate with these two on their wedding day.

We drove all the way down to Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia to find the perfect cliff-top view for Karah & Ian’s engagement session. Together, we hiked out to the edge and watched the sunset over the mountains. By the time we finished, we had to hike half the trail in the dark! Good thing we brought flashlights just in case.

San Diego Trip | April 2019

This spring I had the opportunity to travel out to California to capture one of my couple’s engagement sessions. We ended up doing two shoots, one on the beaches of San Diego, and one in Alabama Hills & Mt. Whitney. Both were amazing of course!

For this trip, my mom tagged along as my travel buddy and occasional lighting assistant. You may remember that we traveled together out west last year, when we went to Las Vegas, Red Rock, Valley of Fire, and Death Valley. It seems like this trip out west may become an annual thing!

Colorado Trip | February 2019

Many of you know that I headed out to Denver to capture an adventurous engagement session up in the Rocky Mountains! I spent a weekend there exploring all around the area.

The first night I went up into the national park to scout where our session would be. Since I was exploring alone, I didn’t hike any of the trails, but it was still amazing to watch the sun set, and grab a few selfies along the way.

This is part two of this gorgeous couple’s engagement session. The first half took place on a beach in San Diego. For this sunrise session, we drove 5 hour outside of the city to capture the majesty of the mountains.

Rachel & Ryan were incredible to work with. Let’s just start off by saying this is only part 1 of this session. Day 2 was all about the desert and the mountains! Be on the lookout next week.

We started at Torrey Pines overlooking the beach, taking advantage of the cliffs views. We then made the absolutely crazy & exhilarating hike down to the beach access, which included a pass through a small slot canyon, and using a rope to navigate a particularly steep rock face. I may have been covered head to toe in dirt by the end, but I had a smile on my face.

Iceland Trip | January 2019

As many of you know, Jon and I went to Iceland in December, exploring the southern coast and trying (and failing) to see the Northern Lights. Since seeing the lights is a bucket list item for me, I wasn’t content to miss out. As soon as our flight landed in Pittsburgh, I was already planning on the next trip.

Bahamas Trip | Winter 2019

My hubby was given the opportunity to go to the Bahamas this winter for his job, and of course I tagged along. Who could turn down a chance to spend four days soaking up the sun!?

We had mild weather (in the 70s most days), with one very rainy evening. The cooler temps didn’t prevent me from laying out on the beach or taking in a few water slides! It was in the 20s back in Pittsburgh, so this felt like heaven.

New York Trip | March 2019

In March I headed up to New York City for a photography workshop with a few other amazing Pittsburgh photographers. Believe it or not, this was my first time in NYC! We only had about a day to tour around, so we missed a lot of touristy things, but I plan on going back for sure. Luckily we had time to walk the Brooklyn Bridge, enjoy a nice dinner out, and take in a broadway show (Chicago!).
