It was a gorgeous last day of September. The leaves weren’t beginning to change yet, but that has been normal in Pittsburgh the last couple of years. I had never been to Schenley Park before, but I had heard it is a beautiful place. I actually was able to see a lot of the park […]

I am so excited to be sharing Kate and Richard’s wedding before their first anniversary! I’m getting closer and closer to catching up my blog, though I still have a lot of Alethea’s photos to finish before I can reach that point! Kate and Richard were married on a beautiful sunny day, last September. It […]

When I was a kid, we lived high up on a hill in North Huntingdon. Our driveway seemed as if it was a mile long, and I’m pretty certain I only went up and down the whole way a handful of times.

 At the bottom of our hill lived another family. They had 3 girls […]

Time is a peculiar thing, if you can call it a thing. One moment, my baby girl was born and the next she grew up. (If you missed her birth story, you can read it here.) Her first few weeks were the most rough, in typical newborn fashion. She woke up every 2-3 hours to […]

It all started with these two. They were married and had 4 boys, two of whom were twins. Then those boys grew up, married lovely ladies, and gave their parents 11 grandchildren (with another set of twins in there!) The downside was that they all lived many states apart. Before the day we took these […]

When we were kids, we had sleepovers where we would talk about the boys we liked, our dream weddings, and exactly what qualities we were looking for in a husband. That list looked something like, “Brown hair. Blue eyes. Really muscular. Loves Jesus.” Then we would write down all the names of the guys we […]

I am so excited to share this proposal that I photographed a few weeks ago! I don’t get the opportunity to capture many proposals, so this was absolutely wonderful. Arshad found me by searching Belle Vernon Engagement Photographers on Google. If that’s not enough to make me jump up and down and say “It’s working! […]

Everyone has heard of the show “married at first sight” right? Even if you’ve never watched it, it’s pretty clear what it’s about. A girl goes and gets her hair and makeup done, puts on a beautiful wedding dress, then walks down the aisle to a complete stranger and marries him. They have no idea […]

Last summer, I had such a wonderful time capturing my husband’s-cousin’s-family! (Isn’t that a mouthful?) Their littest addition to the family, Haley, had just arrived. It was so fun to photograph their kids all together. That special bond that siblings have was very evident! They love each other so much! All the photos were taken […]

I was 34 weeks along and went off to start the first of 5 appointments. Having gestational diabetes was absolutely horrible. As if they don’t make you have tons of appointments already in the third trimester, now I more than quadrupled my appointments each week. Between non stress tests, weekly ultrasounds, and my regular appointments, […]
