I got the chance to be the lucky photographer in the Pittsburgh area who was able to photograph this year’s 50 Finest. Pittsburgh’s 50 Finest is 25 young men and women that come together as a committee and raise as much money as they can for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! 

Below is a just a few of this year’s honorees! Congratulations to all of you and Good Luck!

**To check out the rest of the honorees and to get more information check out WHIRL Magazine’s August Issue!!

In an attempt to expand my food photography portfolio, I teamed up with a good friend of mine who just graduated from culinary school, Maddie Tibbs!

Best part?? I don’t have to cook the rest of the week!

Love is in the air! And so wedding season is upon us! And what is it that I love even more then the wedding itself? The engagement shoots!

It’s like a practice run with the couples! We get a chance to meet and start to relax that way on their big day..the whole me-up-in-their-face feeling is a little less awkward!

As a Pittsburgh photographer, sometimes it is really nice to be able to go outside of the area and get some unique shots!

This weekend I was able to travel back to my hometown, Johnstown, PA, for an engagement photo shoot, and the second shoot was in Clarion, PA!

So, its official! I finally did my first magazine cover! Check out the June/July issue of Edible Allegheny!

I can’t believe only a year ago I was graduating from college with a photography degree and now I am a professional photographer in the Pittsburgh area, who just got a cover! How exciting my life has gotten! 

If you haven’t picked up your copy of Edible Allegheny yet, please do so! There are more photos inside of those cute baby chicks! Stay tuned! Maybe I will get the chance to put some of the other photos up! (..but lets not hold our breath, my attention span for remembering to blog is very short!!)

The past few weeks I have been photographing financial advisors in and around the Pittsburgh area. Here is a headshot from one of the guys I did a few days ago.

Here is a little preview of the Hicks Wedding I did last weekend. Held at Phipps Conservatory, Pittsburgh,PA, this might officially be my favorite location to shoot a wedding. It was beautiful!!! Congratulations to the new couple!

So a fellow Pittsburgh photographer and friend of mine let me borrow his camera for the weekend, the D700. Which until my new d800 appears on my doorstep, I have been using my d60 (old I know).

But, anyways, I decided to go camera crazy this weekend and shot as much as I can. Here is few shots from today. One is food photography of Cinnamon Butter Bread! and the other is of my kitty! I just wanted to introduce her!

Made brownies the other morning (straight from a box of course!). They were chocolate walnut and caramel swirl! Believe me, they sound and look better than they tasted.
