Jessica and Sean

Jessica and Sean had an gorgeous day at the Carnegie Museum of Natural history this past weekend. It was the first time I had ever photographed a wedding there, and I wouldn't mind doing it again. The Hall of Architecture is amazing.

Heather and Kevin's Engagement

A rainy forecast gave me a good excuse to try out a new Downtown location. I drove past Union Station a while back and I've been dying to shoot there ever since. Sure the rotunda provides shelter - but check out the stunning architecture! As it turned out, the weather wasn't as bad as expected so headed across the river to finish up the shoot in front of Heinz field. Thanks to Kevin, Heather and Dozer for a great day!

Newborn Pictures

Little Joey came into the world just one week ago. He was a feisty little thing and even tried to kick his way out of the wooden box I laid him in. But after lunch he mellowed out and we were able to get these beautiful shots. Congratulations Joe and Aubrey!

Modeling Head shots

I took a little trip out to Settler's Cabin to do these head shots for an aspiring model. This may have been her first shoot - but you can't tell from the pictures. She was relaxed and natural in front of the camera. The worn white siding gave us a beachy feel and made me wish for summer.

Photo Albums

I've just created a Renaissance wedding album for Alyson and Greg and thought I'd share these images with everyone.

Chelsey and David's Wedding

One of the greatest love stories I've heard of so far, but don't tell my wife that! Chelsey and David had a beautiful winter wedding this past February. That has to be tough for a groom who is used to the tropical weather of Trinidad.

Pittsburgh Morning

My wife Emily and I took a day to our selves and awoke before the sunrise and went to Mt. Washington, which overlooks the city of Pittsburgh. We watched as the sun came up and made the city glow.

Cambria's Birthday Photos

Cambria just turned three. So, what better way to commemorate the occasion than a photo shoot? She definitely knows how to work the camera.

Nicole's Senior Photos

Recently, I photographed Nicole at one of my favorite locations - Robin Hill Park in Moon Township. There is a beautiful mansion on the grounds surrounded by woods, which provide plenty of gorgeous backdrops. Immediately after our shoot, it began to downpour. Talk about good timing!

The Adirondacks

This past Columbus Day weekend I took a trip to visit my dad in New York. We went hiking in the Adirondack Mountains. One of the shortest hikes that we took was about a mile and a half, one way. My two year old daughter, Cambria, walked the trail the entire way! And it was all up hill! What a trooper!

Trinidad

It has been a while since I have posted, and I keep telling myself that I will make time for it. I never do. They're all lies. However I am excited to talk about my recent trip to Trinidad! It was an amazing time. Toco is a beautiful village in the northwest of Trinidad along the coast where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean. Full of lucious vegetation, bearing fruits like mango, papaya and avacado. Too bad it was not harvest season. No fresh fruit for me. But, alot of the local foods consisted of rice and curries. It is a good thing I like spicy food. I tried foods like puhlori (if that is how you spell it), shark and doubles.

I had a particularly special day when I woke before dawn and waked down to the local fishing pier. It had just stormed that night like it usually does every night. It was still misty and the clouds loomed over head making it feel earlier than it really was. I was hoping to get photographs of a sunrise and local fisherman setting out to the sea. Nobody was there due to the weather, and I was very disappointed. Just then the sky tore and colors flooded in. And just like that a rainbow came from the sea and raised to the ominous clouds above. Here are just a few of the photographs I took from that experience.

Children's Museum

What a great place! This museum brings any adult back to their youth. Your dreams as a kid are brought to life here, and being able watch my daughter run around in amazement is worth every effort to go again.

Fanning Wedding

My daughter is looking more mature than I'd like! At only 15 months old Cambria seems to walk with an establish sense of herself. It was a beautiful and hot day at a friend's wedding and it was kind of nice to be able to relax, taking some pictures for myself instead of working today.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

A little girl runs down Grant Street while holding her mothers hand during the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Pittsburgh. Oblivious to spectators she scours the ground for candy, something that is frowned upon any other time of the year but strangely is socially acceptable during parades for kids and adults alike.

Family Photo

Took a trip to the foothills of the Rockies; beautiful Red Rock Amphitheater. Enjoying the amazing landscapes and the refreshing skies of the Colorado Rockies. Not to mention great photo ops.

Cambria's First Birthday

My most photographed subject. My daughter. She seems to look upon the cake with a proud and a "I so deserve this," Mona Lisa like grin upon her face. Soon the lady-like manners will fly out the door with hand over fist of chocolate to her palate, and the white dress will no longer be white.
