This in-home lifestyle family session was a dream!! The Wedner’s beautiful home was the perfect backdrop for their family photos, and the light coming into their bedroom was truly magical. Little Lily has grown up so fast, and I can’t believe that she is already 1-year old! Not to mention she is a cutie and […]

I was so happy to capture this family photography session at Hartwood Acres Pittsburgh. Lately, I have not been able to take on many family photography sessions due to my heavy wedding workload this year.

This family photography session in Oakland makes my heart sing! I absolutely loved working with the Gorecki Family! They could not look more beautiful and their kids were just the sweetest to photograph. I love that they went with neutral colors and having the iconic Cathedral of Learning in the background set the scene perfectly. […]
