Olivia & Sophia in Pittsburgh

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Sisters Olivia and Sophia are back in Pittsburgh after living in Europe, and their parents wanted some shots of them with the city skyline in back. Even with the sun shining, the city was hazy that day… but it still was a nice day for portraits, and they couldn’t be cuter.

A night at the Phipps

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Last night I went to see the Chihuly exhibit at the Phipps. It lived up to the hype, and was even better than I expected; a fabulous blend of art and nature.

Christine+Daniel

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Christine and Danny couldn’t have asked for better weather in August! Last Saturday was sunny and cool, and a perfect wedding day for such a nice couple. They were married at Heinz Chapel, with the reception at the 20th Century Club in Oakland. The club is a hidden gem–so for those of you planning a party or wedding, keep it in mind!

Sunflowers are one of my favorites

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Today I took a few minutes out to photograph the sunflowers from my garden. I think I needed some sun after these past few days of rain.

Urban Babies

Friday, August 10th, 2007

For those of you (women) with babies in Pittsburgh, check out Urban Mommies. Founders Sheila Solomon and Jennifer Bails organize cultural events, tours, and fun things to do around town for moms that are stroller-friendly. Last week I joined the Urban Mommies for a photo shoot in the park. We may team up again for more photos, so stay tuned! Here are the urban babies:

Jordan’s Senior Photos

I met Jordan’s mother at a wedding I photographed, and last year took her brother’s senior photos. Now Jordan is going to be a senior in high school, and we had a fun time in the park. Here are some of my favorite shots:

Jessica and Michael got married on July 28 at St. James Church in Sewickley, and everything about their wedding was beautiful! I’ve really enjoyed getting to know them, and what a treat to photograph their wedding.

I had a great time photographing 3 month-old Griffin earlier this week. Is he cute or what?
