Sunflowers, Dancing, and Love - Wedding Photography

As summer comes to a close, there are a few short weeks left until the the warmth of the sun is replaced by a cool breeze and colorful leaves.  But while there is still time, we get the opportunity to enjoy the perfect weather with beautiful weddings!  This wedding included!  
What a perfect way to spend the last weekend of summer, then with sunflowers, dancing, and a great love!  This couple shared their vows on a beautiful sunny day surrounded by many close friends and family. The support for the two was really amazing, by new friends and old! 

The bride was dressed in a beautiful ivory lace, from head to toe and was accented with a chocolate brown bow.  This was a stunning site walking down the aisle toward her groom.  To add to the magic, atop the bride's head was the same cathedral length lace veil worn by her mother.  It certainly was a special thing to see *sniff *sniff*

With the ceremony over, complete with personalized vows, the couple started the reception off with one of the most cheerful first dances I have been able to witness.  No tears, or plain slow dancing.  The groom swept the bride off her feet and did not stop smiling for a second.  It was quite evident that both the bride and groom were beyond excited for the night, and the rest of their lives to begin.  Best of luck and love to this happy couple and I hope every dance you have together is as happy and memorable as the first.

McConnells Mills, What a perfect spot! - Engagement Session


Every once in a while there is a session that I just wish wouldn't end.  This one could have lasted ten times longer and I would have been very happy about that!  This adorable couple had me wishing the sun would never set on our shoot.  The bride suggested going to McConnells Mill State Park for their engagement session.  Man what a pick! So many great spots, so little time!

This couples smiles were incredibly contagious, leaving my cheeks sore behind my camera! And let's not forget about the most photogenic dog ever!  "Wanna go for a ride", got smiles from her every time!
You will be seeing much more of this couple, coming the next few months.  And I am looking forward to their wedding in April!  Congrats you three!




Sunny Day Senior Portraits - Senior Portraits

Whether it's for graduating high school, surviving college, or reaching a major goal, parents are usually very proud.  This grad's parents were no different! This soon to be teacher was treated to a fun portrait session.  So to commemorate her big achievement, we spent the afternoon around the Oakland area, catching some rays and snapping some pics!  
The weather, the place, and the person couldn't have been better!  In fact, it was extremely hard to limit the pictures I am featuring on the blog today! I could have posted all of them but I will leave that up to her to share her senior photos.

Welcome to the world baby AJ - Pittsburgh Baby Photography

I thought we should start this weekend off with a big ball of cuteness!  Ladies and gentlemen I would like to introduce you to the adorable AJ.  I got to meet little AJ the other day, and may I say wow!  This tiny bundle had me charmed right from the start.  He is going to be fighting off the ladies some day, that's for sure.  Being the first child in this beautiful family, he couldn't be more loved by his parents and they are so proud of the little life that they created.   With hopes of Penn State and great foot ball games in there eyes, this boy has a nice future and great big world ahead of him. Glad to have met you little AJ and I can't wait to see you again!
