    Baby Nina!

    Congratulations to my great friends Laura and Mark on the arrival of their daughter, Nina!  Nina arrived yesterday (a little early) when I was photographing a beautiful wedding, but Ryan and I went to visit her at the hospital this morning. She’s got 10 fingers and 10 toes…though this looks like just four toes on the right foot, she really does have five. She is so little.  At 5 lb, 0 oz, I think I had a bigger breakfast than that. Mark and Nina Nina with her absolutely beautiful mom, Laura.  Laura and I have been great friends for, well, more than half of our lives.  I love her so…

    Baby Laine

    I’ve mentioned before how much I love my neighborhood.  It’s true.  As of last month, we have a new (though temporary) addition to our neighborhood–baby Laine and her family. Laine’s mom, Jennifer, was asking our neighbors if they knew any photographers, and thankfully, my name came up.  Since I was outside sitting on my porch, she came over and introduced herself.  (Man, I really love this neighborhood) Here are some of my favorites from our shoot last weekend.  From inside of their home right after nap time. We set up this family portrait where Laine and Mom were having a good time making faces. As always, leaves directly into the…

    Kayla and Leslie – Pittsburgh Family Photography

    Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing four generations of a lovely family in Squirrel Hill.  Barbara contacted me after seeing Laura and Mark’s Wedding Album when she and her sister were taking fitness classes from Laura.  I met them at home on a Sunday for a few large group and individual family photos. Nicki was nice enough to come with me to organize the large group.  After we were done shooting the portraits, we got to take a few photos of that adorable 4th generation, Kayla and Leslie. At first it was hard to get their attention due to the presence of grapes. But toys will fix that. …

    Birth Day! Welcome, Ben Voss.

    In May, I found out I was going to be an Aunt for the first time.  I was very happy and called my sister to tell her.  I said “Guess who is going to be an Aunt?” She said “Me?” Whoops!!  I said, “No, me!”  I’ll be more mindful of these statements in the future.  Ryan’s oldest brother, Chris, and his wife, Ana were expecting their son on December 19th. Ryan and I traveled to Minnesota for the holidays with plans to leave on 12/27.  Surely we would see this baby by then.  But, No.  The baby had other plans.  Ben Voss arrived on 12/27 at 7:10am. Ryan and I…

    Silas – Pittsburgh Childrens Photographer

    After seeing Jessi and Benjamin’s wedding, mom Ashley contacted me to take photos of her one-year old son, Silas.  He is absolutely adorable and blue-eyed here at 364 days old.  We took some portraits, but mostly spent time playing and being loved by mom and dad. Reading These are my favorites from the day.  So simple and cool. Happy little family! Silas lives on the Southside with an incredible view of Pittsburgh (and Oakland too!) That wind blowing in their hair. Silas loves to play on the bed.  Here he is a tiger! We beat the rain and spent some more time at Schenley Park for part two of the…
