"We couldn’t be happier with our photos by Jen. She has taken pictures of our big family at least four times, and we absolutely love what she captures!
She always has ideas for positioning everyone, but is also super open to all of our ideas.
Her ability to work with natural lighting is top notch. I didn’t realize it until last year, when our pictures were scheduled for an absolutely drab December day (it was the only time all the kids would be home), and I thought we were wasting our time. Jen delivered warm, stunning pictures! I was so happy!
Jen took natural, beautiful, fun senior pictures of our daughter as she prepared to graduate, and we treasure them! I can’t wait to have her photograph our next senior!
Jen is kind, patient, easy to work with, and keeps things light. I also love her eye for catching the impromptu moments, between the posed pictures. She has always sent me the pictures with a super fast turn around. I can’t recommend her more highly!"--- Meg A.

The Making of Memories...


What kind of session are you dreaming of? Are we strolling the city streets of Pittsburgh with the hustle and bustle of everything around us? Or have we found a quiet park outside of the city that boasts the beauty of our natural surroundings? If you can't decide, I'm here to help! We will have a consultation before our session to decide what fits YOU! These are your memories to be cherished forever and together, we can decide how to make your vision a reality!
