The Garvins // Pittsburgh, PA

It’s amazing how life works sometimes. Back in 2021, I got a referral to photograph an outdoor ceremony for two folks with family in Pittsburgh that were living in DC at the time. They had a beautiful ceremony in Pittsburgh during the strange times with the lingering pandemic, but it was an honor to get to capture some special moments with them. Fast forward to 2025, they have now moved to Pittsburgh and recently had a baby - and here we were on another gorgeous day, this time to capture their family together. The Garvins are both such lovely and easy-going people, and it was so fun to meet their son and get to reconnect from that day years ago up on Mt. Washington. One of the joys and priviledges of this work. Enjoy a few photos from our time together:

The Deemers // Pittsburgh, PA

The rain and thunder was loud all morning, but by the time I arrived at the Deemer’s home, it had stopped. The storm passed, and I got the gift of entering the Deemer home and spending some time photographing their lovely family. It was so much fun meeting their three boys and getting to know these wonderful folks.

Enjoy some photos of my time at their home:

The St. Jeans // Pittsburgh, PA

It has been a joy to get to know the St. Jean’s and share in carpooling our kiddos with them this fall. We’re fortunate to be right around the corner from one another, and it’s wonderful to have such good people to do some of those rhythm of life things with. Here’s some photos from a recent visit to a park in our neighborhood.

The Antilizs // Pittsburgh, PA

The blessing and joy of family and friends… It was so much fun to get to spend time with the wonderful Antiliz Family in one of my new favorite parks in Pittsburgh, Highland Park. With the speed of life these days, it is always a joy to get to spend some time with the Antiliz family, and we had a lot of fun on a beautiful fall afternoon. Enjoy a few photos from our time together.

The Palmers // Sewickley, PA

This is a special one. I love all of the shoots I get to do, but when you get the opportunity to photograph folks you know and love so much, it is a fun and rewarding challenge. This is my family - my in-law family - that we get to share life with week to week. It is such a blessing for my family to get to be near these folks and we’re grateful our kids are getting to build memories and life together a bit. I’ve taken many-a-photo of them over the years, but we had never done a “formal” photoshoot. With the arrival of their 5th, it was time for a new family portrait and on a gorgeous spring day we spent some time at their lovely new home to get a few photos. Enjoy some photos of one of the most thoughtful, energizing, welcoming, hilarious, loving, and wise families I know…
