waits family.

I like to offer styling advice to my clients when it comes to their sessions.  I believe it's vital to the way the shoot turns out.  sometimes people absolutely love it, and want it.  other times, I offer it, and it is politely declined.  this was one of those times, and look how amazing the outfits are.  she nailed it!  the colors are perfect, and they look amazing together.  ...and her hair even matches.  ever since I met her I've been coveting her hair cut/color.  I think you will be too by the end of this post.  :)

girlies.

I had some cute girls over to my house the other day.  we talked, ate, and took a few pictures.  

aren't they beautiful?

...that is an enthusiastic yes.

out and about.

I love pittsburgh.  a lot.  look at this random wall in the middle of the city.  where else would you find something this amazing?  so of course we had to stop.  I kind of forced my friend to be in a few pictures.  a little.  she likes me though, so I think we're okay. 

I think I say this a lot, but I mean it this time.  this is probably one of my favorite pictures ever.  there's just something about the "realness" of this moment, and the way her yellow jacket frames the shot.  I love it. 

these are our kids.  they kind of like each other.  and they're a little bit betrothed. 

the call to each other.

the follow each other.

but mostly they ignore each other.  sounds like a pretty good relationship to me.  :)

then, as if that weren't enough, we found this little beauty on our way home.  the peeling teal paint was more than I could take. 

okay, this time I mean it.  this  is my favorite picture ever.  the vines, the paint, the little green blossoms on the top of the roof--I was kind of dying.  a little bit.  okay, a lot. 

wanna explore with me?  I promise we'll find some cool stuff.  but, you better prepare yourself, I'm sure you'll be forced asked to be in a few frames too.  :)

mommy-to-be.

I had the most amazing hour with these two (almost three).  aren't they the most photogenic people you've ever seen?  she is amazingly beautiful pregnant.  and to top it all off, we got to shoot in the most gorgeous location ever.  I will miss all of the amazing locations pittsburgh has to offer when we ship out in 6 weeks.  but until then, I'll be taking full advantage!
