Dook and Justin live in Vegas. That makes them cooler than me. They are getting married this Friday. I can't wait.

I met up with Lori and Aaron last weekend to photograph their engagement session. This was the first time we met- they both live in New York so our correspondence thus far has been through email and phone conversations. It's always a little harder when your first actual meeting coincides with a photo session, as I feel like there needs to be a certain level of trust to get really great images. Fortunately, we all totally hit it off. These two are so sweet and fun and just generally awesome to be around, that a few minutes into the session we were all laughing and having a great time. Plus, they were willing to try every crazy idea I came up with, and even offered up fun suggestions of their own. I love that! I'm sooo excited to photograph their wedding in a few months.
On to some of my faves from their session:
Lori and Aaron- thanks so much for a great night! I've been scouring Google for 80's movie posters all week. ;)

I met up with Nicole and Mike last weekend to shoot their engagement session. These two have been together since high school (8 years!), and while they now live out of state, Pittsburgh is where they grew up and call home. We met up at Schenley Park, and even though it was a hot and sticky evening, these two were great sports. We caught some delicious light towards the end, which is always a treat. Here are a few of my faves from their session:
Thanks guys! I'm looking forward to photographing your wedding next month!

Abie met up with Serena and Robert last Saturday to photograph their engagement session. It had been threatening rain all day, but it ended up being a beautiful day, blue skies and all.
Here are a few of my faves from their session:
LOVE this shot Abie got of their dog Riley. She was drinking water as they were pouring it out from a bottle. :)

I met up with Catherine and Craig on Saturday to photograph their engagement session. Earlier in the day, it was looking like we were going to get rained out, but Cat made the call to stick to our original plans, and I'm so glad she did. They decided we should go to a park near Craig's mom's house, so they could bring their dogs along.
Cat and Craig are laid back, super fun, and love to laugh: my kind of people. I have now had several warnings from them to expect lots of drinking and debauchery during their wedding reception, so I have high expectations. Friends and family of Cat and Craig: if you're reading this, don't let me down. ;)
Here are a few of my faves from our session:
A little merry-go-round action
We happened upon some delicious light as the sun was going down. That kind of light doesn't happen a lot here in Pittsburgh, so I was happy to take advantage of it.
uh oh....
love this...

{April 29, 2008 4:32 PM} Cat looks beautiful!!!
{April 29, 2008 7:13 PM} Stunning.
{April 29, 2008 7:57 PM} What a beautiful couple. These are incredible. Cat is beautiful as always.
{April 29, 2008 8:43 PM} The beauty of ur love and ur friendship - u and Craig - is literally awe-some.
{April 30, 2008 12:34 PM} WOW! Fantastic images, Kim! I'm sure they love them!!! I can't believe you found a merry-go-round. I thought they did away with those years ago. I love them even though they make me a little sick these days! LOL! Cheers, Jaci

Ok, so I know I've said before that I have the most fabulous clients, and Kate and Greg are certainly no exception. When I met them last fall, we immediately hit it off, and Kate and I have maintained a regular email relationship since then. I received a package in the mail several weeks ago, and opened it to find this amazing green scarf that Kate had knit for me herself. Who does that? If I didn't know any better, I'd swear we were sisters in another lifetime. Or at least cousins. :)
Anyway, the three of us were gloriously reunited this past weekend when I drove up to Emlenton PA to photograph their engagement session. Kate and Greg are getting married on her parent's farm later on this year, so we decided it would be the perfect location for their engagement session. The land Kate grew up on is beautiful, and we took advantage of the great weather to do some exploring. A short trek through the forest took us to one of two waterfalls that divide the space between her parents' and grandparents' homes, and we spent most of our time together around the waterfall and the surrounding forest.
Kate and Greg: It was great to see you again. Thanks for all of the laughs! :)

While Abie was photographing Alex and Anna this weekend, I was on my way to State College to photograph Sarah and Steve's engagement session.
It was my first time at Penn State's main campus, (which is beautiful), and we had a great time while they gave me the grand tour. Here are few of my faves from our session:
Can't take photos on Penn State's campus without a visit to the Nittany Lion.
It was a pleasure hanging out with you again! I'm looking forward to photographing your wedding in October!

I met up with Teresa and Travis in Oakland this weekend to photograph their engagement session. They live in DC, and had booked me via phone and email conversations, so this was the first time we got to meet. Our original plans were to meet at the Carnegie Museum of Art and take their photos there, but it ended up being such a nice day that we decided to walk around the University of Pittsburgh's campus in Oakland.
I noticed two things about Teresa right away: the first is her amazing blue eyes. The second is her smile: she has a very relaxed, natural smile (you'll see proof of that in the following photos). She and Travis have a great chemistry together- they are very comfortable with one another. They both swore they were nervous and uncomfortable in front of the camera, but I think they look quite natural. :)
Here are a few of my favorite images from our session:
I think this one is my fave
showing off the ring. :)
and we took a few images inside.
Teresa and Travis, it was such a pleasure finally getting to meet you! I can't wait to see you again at Peek'n Peak in a few short months!

{February 21, 2008 7:10 PM} We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the photos! It was a blast meeting you. We're so glad to know that you'll be shooting our wedding in May.
