Week 36 - Baby Belly LOVE~!

Last week was a fabulous first for me - a maternity session for a Mommy and Daddy who are exepecting TWIN boys!  WOAH!

I have known the Daddy to be since we were Freshmen in high school, which, let's face it, was a WHILE back.  ;)  I refuse to do THAT math.  Nope.

ANYhow! Below are some of my favorites from this SUPER fun and exciting session with two fantastic parents to be, and a big sister who was just awesome and I think even more excited than the parents!

Many congratulations to Eric, Jess and Breanne! 

xoxoxoxo!

Week 34 - End of Wedding Season! Blog catch up!

Hello, guys!  I know, I know, I'm like miles behind in posting on the blog page.  I have really been SLAMMED with sessions and edits (just the way I like it!) and haven't had the time to devote to this page, until now!

A few weeks back I had the FANTASTIC opportunity to work with Eli and Lindsay on their big day, and what a wonderfully lovely day it was! Their kiddos truly stole the show!  Check out some of my favorites from the day below.

MANY years of happiness and love to the newlyweds!

Images of Inspiration - WEEK 33 - Joe and Janeen - Fall is FABULOUS!

Last weekend I had a fantastic engagement session with a super fun couple,
Joe and Janeen, in Pittsburgh. 

Janeen was SO detailed in choosing the perfect location at a BEAUTIFUL park, that she even had a MAP maked with places she liked, AND brought props!  ("Mr." and "Mrs." cutouts!  HEAVENLY!) 

I LOVE WHEN MY CLIENTS ARE CREATIVE! Check out these favorites from the day!

Loving these shots!

Images of Inspiration - WEEK 32 - P.J. and Laura- Fun and Flirty Wedding!

Hi guys!  I have been SO slammed with weddings and sessions lately that I have fallen miserably behind in the land of the blog.  {My apologies!} 

A few weeks back, I had the FABULOUS opportunity to work with an awesome couple on their very special big day, P.J. Sheehan and Laura Graham.

I have known P.J. since literally kindergarden, and met Laura just a few years there after.  What a wonderful couple these two are!  SO fun to be around!  I laughed nearly the entire day into the night!

Here are some of my favorite shots of the day.  Enjoy!

Much love and many years of happiness to Mr. and Mrs. P.J. Sheehan!

Images of Inspiration - WEEK 31 - Jennie and Brad - Lovely in Love

This past weekend I had the honor of working with and for Jennie (Stelmack) and Brad Fuller, capturing the beautiful memories of their incredible wedding day.

I have known Jennie and Brad for nearly 18 years, all of us meeting the fall of 1993 in the ninth grade.  (**Cue "Memories..." from cats**)  Good Lord, how we all have changed so much since then, but really, how much we have stayed the same. 

Seeing Jennie and Brad after many years since high school graduation, (many, and I refuse to indicate how many, for fear of showing my age), I was immediately taken back to the innocent days of the ninth grade and meeting both of these sweet, wonderful friends... 18 years later, I was there, at their wedding, to capture their memories.  Amazing. 

This was an incredible day.  The happiness and love RADIATED from Jennie and Brad, literally, ALL DAY LONG, and into the night.  It was absolutely contagious. 

Being a part of the love and happiness of Jennie and Brad's big day reminded me why I love my job.  Seeing their love for one another brought me to tears, more than once. 

Many years of happiness and love to Mr. and Mrs. Fuller.  I am forever grateful to have been a part of your memories.

Images of Inspiration - WEEK 30 - Warner Theatre Wedding = Old School Class!

WOW.  Seriously.  That's all I kept saying all night while shooting the wedding for Brett Persing and Nikki Burdick at the Warner Theatre this past Saturday. WOW~!

This has to have been the MOST creative couple I have ever worked with.  The groom proposed in a theatre, and they ran with the theme, even creating theatre style programs for their wedding!  Seriously amazing.

Check out some of my favorites from the evening below.

Fabulous, right!?

Images of Inspiration - WEEK 28 - Low Country Boil, Vendetti Style!

WOAH~!  I was recently asked to shoot the annual Low Country Boil party for the Vendetti Family - which is HUGE, by the way!  Admittedly, I had to Google it to see what the heck it was!  Once it was explained to me, via Amanda Vommero-Vendetti (and my bff, Google) I KNEW I was onboard for this fun!

Not only was this a fabulous group to work with, but they insisted that I say and eat too!  Anyone who knows me knows FOOD is my weakness - especially SHRIMP! 

NOM NOM! 

FUN-ness from the day below!

Look at this little guy!  Santino!  LOVE!

I see beautiful people!  Amanda told me she liked this shot better than her engagement pics!

Pretty peoples.  Unfairly pretty peoples.

Yes, you read that right.   These two have been together for EIGHTEEN years!  I was SO excited when I was asked to be the photographer for Amanda and Corey, both because I have known them both forEVER, annnnnd because this was such a looooong time coming! 

What a FUN day/evening!  Gotta tell ya, watching these two dance their first dance brought tears to my eyes....  :)
