Chubby Cheeks and Ticklish Feet - Baby Photography

Beaming with Happiness- Pittsburgh Wedding Photography

Whenever I photograph a wedding, by the end of the work day, my face is sore.  It must be from all of the smiling behind the camera.  This wedding was no exception.  In fact, I was unable to stop smiling while going through the images afterwards too.  This bride and groom's happiness beamed out of every picture. I am so happy to have been a witness to their special day.

Judging by the photographs, you can't even tell it was freezing cold this day and had on and off snow flurries.  

 I have way too many favorites from this day!  I couldn't help myself from posting pretty much a million of them!

This beautiful bride not only looked stunning the day of, but planned a gorgeous reception as well.  The venue was decorated in an elegant/rustic style with peacock details and accents of beautiful magenta.  Everything was perfect.  Between the awesome decor and rocking dj, the dance floor was always packed.  It was great to see the young to the old out on the floor, celebrating this amazing couples marriage.  It is so sweet to see how many people this couple has touched, and how much love was shared in that room!

….Then comes momma pushin' a baby carriage - Maternity Portraits

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes momma pushin' a baby carriage!  In a few short months this beautiful glowing woman will be welcoming a her and her husband's first child into the world.  Luck for me, I had the opportunity to capture her growing bump before it is gone!

We certainly lucked out with a gorgeous day down in South Park.  Hopefully she will be blessed with just an nice weather on the delivery day.  During the session, I joked that when we do the family session (+1) there will be snow on the ground and we can make snow angels.  But in reality, this beautiful mommy to be will be given an angel of her own, with or without the snow.  Congratulations and I can't hardly wait to meet the little nugget in 2015!

Happy Five Months Miss Hayden Aurora! Baby Photography

Welcome to the world Miss Emily Grace! - Newborn portraits

 Celebrating new life is such a wonderful thing.  Getting to share this moment with family and close friends is truly a gift. One of my oldest and dearest friends just welcomed her and her husband's first child into the world….. and I couldn't be more thrilled for them.

Since first grade, I have been witness to nearly all of this wonderful mom's big steps in life.  Last year I stood by her side as she married the man of her dreams and last week their closest friends and family were there at the hospital to give the first hellos and love to this sweet little girl.

Just as it has been for years with my friend and I, I cannot wait to be there to see this nugget grow up and have incredible moments in her life too!  It has only just begun!

The most colorful time of the year - Fall Engagement Portraits

Unless you live around a rock, you must have seen the beautiful foliage that is happening right now in the area.  Between the natural light at sunset, and the colorful leafs, this time of year really makes for a photographers dream!  Lucky for me I had this wonderful couple to photograph this past weekend. 

 Nestled within the crazy hecticness that is the Cranberry area, there was this beautiful park.  It created the best back drop for these to love birds.  I had such wonderful time with them and I can't hardly wait to celebrate their big day next October! 

One Years Time - One Year Portraits

Wow, one year flies by when you're this cute!  Do you remember these pinchable cheeks from about a year ago?  Yes, it has already been a year!  Let's all wish Miss Alexandra Grace a big Happy First Birthday!

The rain and bad weather held off long enough for us to venture out to the park and have the whole beautiful family celebrate such a perfect year!
