    September 15, 2015

    We had the most beautiful time with Jennifer & Gabe at Becker Farms last month!

  • Buffalo Maternity Session | Melissa & Jay | Woodlawn Beach

    August 4, 2015

    I loved my time with Melissa, Jay & soon-to-be Baby Gwen for their maternity session! We met at Woodlawn beach just before sunset; the wind was wild and the light was perfect. Melissa is due soon, and it was Jay’s 30th birthday, so there was much to celebrate! I love picturing them showing these romantic…

    July 29, 2015

    On a gorgeous summer evening, Brianna, Charles & I wandered Ohio Street for their e-session! I loved how open they were to location ideas, and didn’t blink an eye when I asked them to sit on a loading dock or dance on the old train tracks. They were so fun to work with, I…

Have you ever been to the Allegany Nature Pilgrima
Have you ever been to the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage? 🌿 It’s one of my favorite annual events 🤩 Naturalists, hikers, herbalists, birders & all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts gather at the park for a whole weekend’s worth of unique programming! Typically, I plot out adventurous activities, but this year I opted for a more restorative schedule ✌️ I spent my Saturday doing fireside yoga, forest-bathing with a group of lovely ladies, learning about homeopathy, relaxing with some watercolors, enjoying a mushroom hike & trying basic orienteering! 🥾🌲 There are dozens upon dozens of other activities to choose from at this family-friendly & affordable event. Will I see you there next year?!

Fellow Creatives : How do you stay inspired? 🤔 I have daily practices in place, but I think quarterly art-filled-mini-roadtrips are the real secret 🤩🤩🤩 My 36 hour whirlwind May getaway to PGH did the trick! 😍 After time at some of my favorite galleries, real good eats, a candlelit art-making session, a night of jazz poetry & lots of long, aimless walks with my camera, I have so many soon-to-be projects swirling around 🎉 Year Ten of this city for me & still haven’t seen it all; anything I should add to my list for next time?! ____________________________________ ✨ 2026 #PITTSBURGH FUN :✨ 🔸 @mattressfactory 🔸 @thewarholmuseum 🔸 @cityofasylumbooks 🔸 @warstreetsartsalon 🔸 @randyland.pgh 🔸 @maxsratskeller 🔸 @pamelasdiner 🔸 @commonplacecoffee 🔸 @visitpittsburgh
