Mellon Park Maternity Session | Jourdan and Vince

I have had the pleasure of working with Jourdan and Vince on multiple occasions in the past couple years. We took engagement photos and I photographed their beautiful wedding! Naturally, I was thrilled when they asked me to take their maternity photos. We went to one of my favorite locations, Mellon Park, and they rocked every pose with ease! I’m so excited for them to welcome their new baby into the world. Congratulations you two!

Oakland Senior Session | Maggie

Oakland Senior Session | Maggie

Maggie rocked her senior photos! We started with a gorgeous, floor length gown. I love when high school seniors choose something formal as one of their outfit selections.

Our next stop was Phipps Conservatory, which is always a great location for nature shots. We hiked all over the block, including a few photos along the path to Panther Hollow. Then headed to the cars for one last stop - twilight shots along the North Shore.

San Diego Engagement | Rachel & Ryan

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

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

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.
