Couples

Gracie & Vinnie

Gracie and Vinnie are one of those couples that I feel like I’ve known forever! When Gracie first contacted me, we first bonded over both attending Waynesburg – she’s a current student while I graduated almost six years ago now. Hard to believe! But I didn’t hold it against her that, that made me feel […]

Emilee & Tym

What better way to get back into blogging than to share, the first couple I ever photographed, Emilee and Tym’s actual ENGAGEMENT pictures! I had a hard time narrowing down the gallery when I sent it to them and I had a hard time picking what ones to blog – I seriously love them all! […]

Couples

Cassidy & John

Cassidy and John rose before the sun to be able to catch this beautiful glow, and man – I think it was worth it! When we first arrived, we were the only ones at The Point, the fountain hadn’t came on yet and the sun was quickly rising. Cassidy and John didn’t have an ounce […]

Kelly & Phill

I pulled in behind PNC Park on Saturday and as I put my car in park, it started to rain. Not just a sprinkle but the wind was blowing the street side trees – it was not cute. I peaked at the weather and it had changed from no rain at 6pm to a 70% […]

Kelli & JJ

I received a text from Kelli the day before our session – it was calling for rain (what else is new). She told me that regardless of the forecast, if I was willing, they would love to keep our scheduled time and were down to dance in the rain! Instantly, the scene from The Notebook […]

Sarah & Garrett

Last week, Sarah, Garrett and I disregarded the forecast and went onward with our plans for a Sunday evening session! Surprisingly, the sun appeared to give us some GLOW! Sarah’s smile was perfect and her giggle even got some genuine smiles out of Garrett. He was a trooper, even agreeing to change two times with […]

Eddie, Jess & Nittany

Last week I met Eddie, Jess and their sweet puppy, Nittany for a Memorial Day photo session. It didn’t take them long to warm up to the camera. They were instantly smiling, laughing and radiating happiness – literally my favorite kind of people! Nittany was such a calm, well behaved girl while her parents pulled […]

Families

Ryleigh Mae

Friday evening I met up with the Funk family to kick off the Memorial Day Weekend, capturing some sweet memories, braving the bugs and most of all – the heat! Hopefully it’s safe to say Summer has arrived. Ryleigh Mae was the most precious thing with her red hair and her darling baby blue eyes. […]

The Burkus Family

It’s been a while since I blogged (far too long actually) but this one is a special one! I met the Burkus family mid March to capture a HUGE milestone for them – the adoption of their son, Caleb. I received word from Katlyn that everything is good to go. A month later and I […]

Maternity

Baby Bryson

Sunday morning I met Kylea and her Mama at Shawnee State Park is Schellsburg for her maternity session. While there was no snow at home, Shawnee State Park did not disappoint! As soon as I hit Somerset County, a gorgeous layering of snow appeared on the ground and carried all the way to Bedford County. […]
