Hunter – Moon Township Pet Photography
For the weeks leading up to Hunter’s session, his mom Lea kept hoping for a little white on the ground.

Many simply don’t believe that they have the space in their home for large wall art, or rather, appropriately sized wall art.

Ordinary Moments: Finding Joy Through Photography
Today is one of my favorite days of the year: the official start of fall. I just love this time of year, I really do! Do you know what I love most about fall? It’s not the return of cooler days, western Pennsylvania’s colorful foliage, or pumpkin-flavored everything (although all that’s great and anyone who knows me knows I will never turn Read More
