Mellon Park & Oakland Engagement
I always love working at Mellon Park for that old-world garden feel. It is timeless and a little whimsical - perfect for engagement photos.

I’ll always love Hartwood Acres for family photos. Epic mansion background, and lots of grass to run around in (or eat a 1st birthday cake!).
Surprise Mt. Washington Proposal
A Pittsburgh proposal story
Rachel had no idea that Zach was planning a dream proposal for her. She thought she was going to a formal event for his work. But secretly, he brought both of their families and friends together to set up rose petals, balloons, and even a visit from their dog to set the stage for popping the question! It felt like surprise after surprise!

The Grand Estate Wedding | Jamie & Ben
I wasn’t the original wedding photographer for Jamie & Ben’s big day, but their photographer ended up in labor a few weeks early, so I stepped in to cover. It ended up being an incredible day, filled with family and friends celebrating in the best way. The Grand Estate is one of my favorite venues, and it was so nice to work there again!

These two had the most stunning room set up! It is hard to make the museum look even more magical than it already does, but they did it! It helps that they are some of the kindest people you’ve met, and absolutely rocked their portrait time.

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!
