I had the honor of photographing some of the big and little brothers and sisters for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh. What a wonderful organization and mission! The bond between these matches was so apparent, and I loved hearing their stories and the fun things they have done together over the years. It is heartwarming to learn about organizations in our community that can make such a big impact.

I’ve photographed Maia before, but I recently had the opportunity to photograph her family together. It was great seeing her with her parents, and needless to say she was a star!





A nice smile outside the studio:

And a wonderful serious face, too!

These three girls get cuter and sweeter each time I see them! It’s wonderful watching them grow.

What a sweetheart Maren is. Her eyes just keep getting bigger, and I love her playful and her serious expressions:

I love photographing siblings, perhaps because I come from a big family. Matt and Carly were fun to hang out with and to photograph, and it was great to see that they seem to get along so well.





With their aunt, Kelly:
