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 Bryans // Bellevue, PA

These are quite extraordinary times… but in the midst of these tough days, it is so wonderful to celebrate new life and love and the joy of family. The Bryans are some of our dear friends that we’ve made since making our home in Pittsburgh, and they recently welcomed their first child into their family. Both Ethan and Emily are incredibly thoughtful, warm, and gracious friends and getting to see their love of parenting and their little guy has been such a joy - even if it’s mostly been from afar. Enjoy a few photos from my recent time with them at their new home right on the other side of our neighborhood.

The Coryells // Bellevue, PA

It was many months in the making, but I finally got the chance to hang out with the Coryells and photograph their awesome family. Their little guy is so much fun and is pretty much always smiling anytime I see him, so it was fun to explore catching some of his expressions and moments with his mom & dad. Enjoy some highlights below!
