Ready For the Season!

This senior takes his football skills to new "heights" this year as evidenced during our first senior shoot of 2010-11! Spots are filling up FAST and now is the time to book your senior picture session...especially is you want that fall look! And, our senior announcements are "top notch!" We can design customized senior announcements that are far more "you" than those boring ones that everyone else orders! Call and ask to see samples of the best announcements and invitations around..with your best pictures on them...front and back!!

What Kind of Move Was That?

This is one of my favorites from a recent "My Best Friend" shoot! It was really entertaining watching this American Bulldog's reaction to the additional subject I introduced into the scene! Enjoy!

Singing in the Rain!

This image was just plain fun! Was someone pouring water from the ceiling of the studio? Nope! This young gymnast just did what I told her to do...hold the umbrella and strike a pose...and the result was great!

Family In Black and White

I love the simplicity of this family portrait! When doing black and white images, I always try to highlight the main part of the composition....the faces! They are the most important element in black and white portraits, in my opinion, and this beautiful family certainly was a wonderful representation of that concept!

Bridal Sky

The sky cooperated the day we took this bridal image in Pittsburgh! Instead of having the bride positioned dead center in the composition, I put her in the bottom left quadrant, adding interest and allowing the sky to accent our beautiful subject!

Flower Girl

I happened to be in the right place at the right time to capture this candid image of one of the three flower girls at last weekend's wedding! I was a welcomed distraction for her at this point at the reception because nothing much was holding her interest until the dancing started! Stay tuned for more...

Love at Dusk

This is one of our backlit images from this weekend. I loved the setting and thought it would make a beautiful location for this type of wedding portrait. The rose garden had many locations that were stunning, even at twilight!

Bride In the Rose Garden!

This is just one of many beautiful images we captured at our weekend wedding in Pittsburgh, PA. This was taken in the Rose Garden of the Mellon Mansion (now the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts). This wedding venue is a relative "candy store" of gorgeous locations in which to shoot a wedding (or anything else for that matter!). I can't wait to post more for you to see! In the meantime, enjoy our beautiful bride in one of the most lovely places in Pennsylvania!

Baby, I'm Yours!

This shot was captured "on the fly" as with many toddler photographs! My assistant's light was coming in from cameral left and illuminated this angels's face perfectly while my fast shutter speed darkened the background substantially. A quick black and white conversion and PRESTO!....a gorgeous baby portrait that looks as through it was taken in a studio instead of outside in the grass at a "pause point" in this active little girl's meanderings!! In other words, I got lucky!

Family Portrait

This will, no doubt, be my favorite family shot of our family session yesterday! I love the simplicity of the background and how it fades softly out of focus, making the family pop out of the image! Just before I took this picture, the sun broke through and put a "kick" light on the subjects, further separating them from the rest of the picture. Come back and see us for more from this family shoot.

Quiet Reflection

Right before we left the church for the reception, I asked the bride and groom to pause in the aisle and look at each other while my assistant got behind them for this beautiful backlit silhouette. It's one of my favorites!

It's All About Family!

I just loved this image from one of last weekend's weddings! The bride and groom wanted as many family members as they could get in the shot (from both sides) and I think we did a pretty good job of including everyone that wanted in!

Wedding Drama

I thought you'd enjoy this image from one of our weekend weddings (that's right, we photographed TWO!). I love everything about this one... the sky, the couple, the hillside. Enjoy and stayed with us for more from BOTH weddings!
