I am a professional photographer in Pittsburgh PA specializing in photographing people in a documentary style.
That means: low pressure, high FUN photo shoots focused on telling the story of your life in this moment!
My clients are looking for a creative candid approach and easy photography experience... and I am deeply honored by the trust that people place in me over and over again, to skillfully and creatively tell their story. I really love my job!
Photography is storytelling, and I am passionate about capturing YOUR story candidly, and with integrity. ♡
"My favorite pictures are so different than what I see on social media... They are perfectly imperfect, weird, abstract, or thought-provoking. I'll pick a grumpy grandma photo over a picture of a wedding bouquet any day! The best pictures tell stories and contain memories.
THIS is the gift I want to give to all my clients: a time capsule of their own life story, from marriage to parenthood and beyond. Life is too short! I am honored to bottle up those memories for you."

"I’m totally sitting on my screened porch ugly crying into my cup of tea. You have no idea how much I love all of these images! And, this is us! You totally captured us and our real life and I cannot even put into words how happy this makes me! I’ll treasure these forever and can’t wait to create an album with them ❤️ Thank you!!"

I have long been an advocate of being different, valuing AUTHENTICITY and PASSION above conformity. In my personal life I go out of my way not to be like everyone else, and these values definitely translate into my photography work as well. I am not trying to give you pictures that look like everyone else's! Instead, I rely on my empathy as much as my camera, with the ultimate goal to give you authentic, emotional images that are a time capsule of this point in your life! Let's tell the story of what makes YOU unique.
I am not a traditional Pittsburgh photographer... I will meet you in places that are important to YOU! This could mean choosing to do your engagement session at the coffee shop where you met, or your family photos at home in your backyard. I've photographed couples walking the dog and heading out for pizza, kids picking out pumpkins and chowing down on ice cream! It's all up to you, to decide which memories you want to capture in your professional photos.
Of course as a 20+ yr professional photographer in Pittsburgh PA I have lots of recommendations for locations if you're not sure yet what you'd like to do in your session! Happy to chat through everything once you reach out.
Let me help you remember your life the way it actually happened- with unique storytelling pictures from a experienced professional photographer in Pittsburgh.
