My parents met in veterinary school at Auburn University. They dated, got married, and moved to Florida, and about a year before I was born, they opened a tiny little animal hospital in Tavares, FL. It was originally housed in a little white building on East Alfred Street, where they had two doctors and no…
Last week, I had a wonderful time in Florida with my family, and while I was there, I was able to photograph the family of one of my oldest friends! Lauren and I have been friends all our lives, and it was SO much fun spending a little time with her sweet husband Daniel and…
I am so excited to share with everyone the start of our new dog branding and website: REAL HAPPY DOGS! We are now offering on-location dog sessions as well as in-studio photos, and to kick off the start of this fun new business, I am running a special for 50% off of any sessions booked…
Right as the sun set behind the stadium, we took this photo of Laura and George at their beautiful PNC Park rehearsal dinner. Wow, what a beautiful evening it was!
Home. How do you describe home? For me, home is waking up in the bed I grew up in, sitting with my parents around the dinner table, swimming with the dogs in the pool, and watching the sun set over the water in one of my favorite places on earth: Lake County, Florida. Lake County…
I woke up this morning to happy news. Two more of our images were chosen by Fearless Photographers, a group of the some of the best documentary wedding photographers in the world and many of my favorite people in this industry. These two images are from Ellie and Josh’s Atlanta wedding and Jamie and Jon’s…
One of my favorite things to photograph is families. I love capturing people in their homes or favorite spots, simply doing what they normally do together. Well, Nolan’s family was no exception, and we had a wonderful time together last week capturing Nolan at his 6-month mark. One thing I can say for sure about…
I learned this weekend that Construction Junction is my new favorite back-alley-hole-in-the-wall find. And, no, I’m so not even hipster (it’s true). Our apartment/studio is a big open renovated factory building as you can see here. I LOVE the open light and tall ceilings, but negatively, it can feel very cold and industrial. So, in…
Lulu is the biggest, coolest dog I’ve ever met. I mean, how many dogs can put their rear end on a human-sized chair while still sitting up on their front legs? That is seriously awesome! This documentary dog session took place in Lulu’s home in Friendship, and I was so impressed with how calm, quiet,…
Yang and Shuying are incredibly a sweet, laid-back, couple that I had the privilege of hanging out with a few weeks ago. They are getting married in China but wanted their engagement photos taken around the city Yang calls home now, Pittsburgh! So, we had a great time following the rivers north and south and…
This weekend I turned 30, and while I didn’t have as much angst about it as I thought I might, I definitely found myself pondering how it is that the years fly by so quickly! My parents came up from Florida for the weekend, and we had a bunch of friends over to our place…
This past week I traveled to Alabama and finally met the newest member of our family… an adorable English Bulldog puppy named Maggie that my sister and her husband recently adopted. I knew from photos that she was cute, but COME ON people, she is seriously the cutest puppy I’ve ever seen. She’s short, wrinkly,…
When you plan a wedding in March, you never know exactly what type of weather Pittsburgh is going to throw at you. Fortunately for Jessica and Eric, their March 16th wedding day was a beautiful, warm spring day in Pittsburgh, and we had so much fun getting out in the sun and enjoying this day…
Tonight I went with friends to hear Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors with Nathan Angelo at Cafe Club in the South Side. Both of these artists are brilliant performers… be sure to check out their work when you get a chance. Here are a few photos from the show – enjoy!
Baby yawns are the best… and this little girl was FULL of them. Last week I traveled to Seattle to meet my newest niece, Savannah Brynne Chappell. She was born on March 7th and is the sweetest little bundle you’ve ever seen. These are a few yawns I captured over the weekend spent with her……
