Here are some favorites from recent family portrait sessions. Read More


A free arrow and a stable bow

My girl Meg, the mother, wife, and babe fox in this series is also a fellow creative. 
 
I asked if I could weave deeply personal lessons learned into her family portraits, and she told me to let it rip. 
 
So here is this gorgeous, growing family…aaaand some lessons from my first ego death.

Newborn Hospital Session: Avery Wren

My beautiful best friend gave birth to her perfect daughter in the early hours of Wednesday, June 22nd. I was so honored to be there in the first hours of her life, and also to capture when she met her big brother Dylan. I absolutely adore both of Courtney and Jack’s babies. Congratulations to the Santo family, and especially to Dylan for his new and very important job title of “Big Brother”.

Upper St. Clair Maternity Session: Courtney and Jack

A family SO close to my heart is 3 weeks from welcoming a baby girl to their family. Courtney and I have been close since long before motherhood for both of us. Her and Jack are such loving parents to their first born/my little bud, Dylan. He has a big summer ahead of him! The important job of big brother and a 2nd birthday in August! I love you guys! I can’t wait to celebrate this new life soon.

Barker Family and Newborn Session

It goes without saying that I adore this family. They made me cry at their wedding with all the incredibly moving details. A baby boy coming down the aisle with a “Here comes my mommy ” balloon? There wasn’t a dry eye! Now that little boy is a hilarious big brother, and I couldn’t be happier for this family! I had so much fun meeting baby Elias. I love watching this family grow!
