Of Dogtown

Alex and I have been married for 8 years and I basically just figured out that I know nothing about him.

With a revelation like that, a weekend out of town sans youths was a solid idea.

Newborn Session: Caroline Louise

I was so happy to hear that another one of my lovely bride and grooms were adding a third this year. Caroline arrived a touch ahead of schedule, and couldn’t be more perfect. She was so comfortable and sweet while we took photos with her parents and puppy. She even gave me a sweet little wave goodbye at the end! 2017-05-01_0001.jpg 2017-05-01_0002.jpg 2017-05-01_0003.jpg2017-05-01_0004.jpg

A Ben Avon Ceremony: Emily and Zach

Emily and Zach have been together for almost 10 years, they are high school sweethearts, and now they are married! On Friday, April 1st 2016, they were united at an intimate ceremony at Community Presbyterian Church in Ben Avon, followed by a big family dinner at our home. When I married my husband, I gained Zach as a little brother. Now I am beyond excited to have Emily as a little sister. I am so happy for them both!

*A special thanks to Caitlin Thomas Verbitsky for stopping by to snap a few family photos of us! Her shot is below.
