We. Are. Fam-i-ly! I love photographing weddings for my family–especially the folks who are already familiar with Steve’s unapologetic “gotta get in there” approach–because they’re expecting us to get in there and do anything for the shot.

Sarah and Justin’s Armstrong Farms Wedding

Someone once asked me how I manage to come up with creative wedding images. I responded, “I look for what’s different.” I try to look at the details of their day, or the way a bride and groom respond to each other using their body language during their portraits. I even watch the way they […]

Kaylee’s Rustic Senior Portrait Session

I absolutely loved shooting this Freeport High School graduate’s senior portrait session at Diamond Run Golf Club in Sewickley, PA. Denny lucked out and had gorgeous evening light hitting an ivy-covered barn and the rolling green hills were the perfect backdrop for his baseball and golf props. Seriously, this location is the stuff that dreams […]

Brenna’s North Park Senior Session

The grittiness.The coolness.The graffiti.The grunge.This session has it all.  It’s always an honor to photograph my friends and family, and having the opportunity to photograph my cousin Noah was no exception. Not only is he a great guy, but he has a great sense of style. When my cousin Shelley asked me to shoot his […]

For their spring session, we met at the rose garden […]
