Bethanie & Jeff Engagement Session — 7.13.12

Definition of troopers: Bethanie and Jeff. If you’re from around the Pittsburgh area, you know that we’ve had some “wonderful” weather lately. It’s been hot, it’s been muggy and it’s been dry. Yet this weekend’s forecast called for a lot of rain, and that presents some obstacles when you’re driving up from North Carolina for an engagement shoot. So we pushed things to yesterday, and these guys showed no signs of having just traveled that distance! We ended up having a great day and they were a ton of fun to work with (actually, it’s just a lot of fun to mess with Jeff!)

And let’s not forget Brandy – such a beautiful dog and so easy to work with!

The Pirate Parrot visits SWG Adaptive Baseball…

 

I’ve ranted and raved about how a Sunday evening can become a GREAT Sunday evening when you take in an Adaptive Baseball Game at Southwest Greensburg Recreation, but it takes on a whole new level when the Pirate Parrot makes his annual visit! Hopefully, you’ve seen the Parrot entertaining the crowd at PNC Park in person – he does a great job – but to see him in person working his magic with a group of appreciative kids is just an incredible sight.

Senior Session with Carissa S.

It’s something special when you get to work with a family as much as I have with Carissa’s, and yesterday was absolutely nothing different. While it was certainly a hot one, we had a beautiful day at Seton Hill and Carissa’s smile and big blue eyes lent themselves to some great shots!

just a few preview shots from a great day all around!

Mr. and Mrs. Jim and Annamarie Hurley — 5.26.12

Yes, it was hot, and that should probably be spelled with a capital H, but what a great day for the newly married Mr. and Mrs. Jim and Annamarie Hurley! St. Mark Lutheran provided a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and the Greensburg Garden and Civic Center was the spot for the reception. What a great day all around!

Kristin & Ryan Engagement Session – 5.19.12

Kristin and Ryan came “home” today for their engagement session — and what a beautiful day we had! Oakland’s Heinz Chapel and Cathedral of Learning area were the setting, and as you can expect, they certainly didn’t disappoint. These two are Pitt Panthers through and through. It was great to get to know both Kristin and Ryan and I am truly looking forward to their late December wedding. It’s going to be a blast!
