Tara+Philip

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Last Saturday I photographed Tara and Philip’s large and lovely wedding. 10 bridemaids, 10 groomsmen, 1 junior bridesmaid, 2 flower girls, and over 300 guests! Tara and Philip feel like old friends to me now, after meeting them last June, and photographing their engagement in the fall.

Ruby Thursday

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Ruby came to the studio on Thursday with her mom, dad, and aunt. What a sweetheart she is!

She has amazing eyes–even in black and white:

Her only unhappy moment was when she wore a fancy dress:

Barry

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Last week I had the opportunity to take some headshots of Barry, who is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. He also plays piano and is a cyclist. I love how I’m able to meet so many interesting people through my job.

Mostly sunny in Seattle

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

I just got back from a fabulous few days in Seattle visiting with my family. I used to live there years ago, just after I graduated from college, and it’s tempting to think of moving back there whenever I visit!

My favorite blues:

Some of my nieces and nephews. They are growing up quickly! (you may recognize them from other pages on my web site):

Cooper is going to be 2 years old in a few weeks, and he is one happy guy! His mom and dad, Toshie and Jim, and I took him to Highland Park on Sunday. Fun!

Lisa+Eric

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

I had the pleasure of photographing Lisa and Eric’s grand wedding last week. They live in New York City, but chose to have their wedding in Pittsburgh… and the entire event took place at the gorgeous Renaissance Hotel. Congratulations Lisa and Eric!

Gretchen on the go

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

Gretchen lives next door to Ethan and Elly (see previous post). Even though she’s only a year (or will be in a few weeks), she looks like she’s going to be ready to play with them soon.

Carrie+Tom

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

I hadn’t met Carrie and Tom until their wedding day, and what a wonderful surprise! They were so easy to work with, genuinely nice, with great smiles. They were married at St. Margaret Mary’s Church, with the reception at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh.
