When was the last time you and your partner stepped away for a few days with zero distractions, just the two of you?

For us, it had been far too long. Sure, we’ve done quick overnights, always prioritize family vacations, and even trips as a couple, but with just the two of us, they are usually squeezed into a work trip.

This time was different. On a whim, we looked at Google flights, based on dates and price picked a destination left it all behind and settled into a slower rhythm, just being together, exploring side by side. Venice felt like a dream: incredible food, stunning views, and no real agenda beyond enjoying each other’s company.

Now that the travel bug has bitten us again, we’re already wondering where we’ll go next, as a couple, and as a family.

I remember once saying to keep dating your spouse long after you’re married. That stuck with me, and it’s something I hope we never stop doing.

PS: We’re always up for capturing your story of life, love, adventure.

Before the views come into sight, the legs are tired, lungs are burning.

Before the fish is brought to net, its early mornings, long hikes, tired shoulders.

Before you breath in the clean air, and focus on the beautiful sights, it has to still exist.

Happy Earth Day

Moments pass by so quickly. But sometimes it’s those little moments in between that stop you cold. Artie is about to be a big brother, and I’m so thankful for friends like Ian and Priscilla that trust me to capture their life, love, and adventure. We have the photos of smiles and kisses, but these quiet moments just make me smile as I think about what it means to be family.

Our kids grow so quickly. But when we get photos, most of the time these photos live on my computer or phone, and rarely get looked at.

Kelly and I are preparing to print and frame new photos for our house, and I can’t wait for hadley to see portraits of her sitting on the wall.

Are you taking the time to have portraits made of your family, and hanging your artwork on the walls?

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for grandparents, we still have time.

As a photographer, sitting down with small business owners is a constant reminder that we’re all working to carve out our own space.

Today I was going through the archives and came across some portraits I made while recording what was at one point going to be a podcast talking with local creatives- Maybe it'll get published one day, but until then...

Photojournalist Swensen has spent the past few years documenting rural life in Kentucky capturing families raising children, farmers growing crops, and artists shaping culture.

simmons has dedicated years to promoting the wines and spirits of Pennsylvania makers. His path hasn’t been traditional. Instead, he’s focused on welcoming the public in, sharing stories, and creating experiences that turn neighbors into champions of local products.

Kelly, a Pittsburgh based commercial photographer, pours his energy into every stage of the creative process. From pre-shoot collaboration to the production itself and into post-shoot polish, his enthusiasm reminds you that this work is more than advertising, it’s collaboration, vision, and passion in action.

These stories were originally meant to be part of a Western PA creative podcast, which may still happen one day.

Are you a small business owner, lets work together and help you tell your story.
