Wedding in Tuscany

Wedding in Tuscany

This past July I traveled to Pecciolo, Italy to shoot a romantic, sun soaked wedding amongst the golden hills of Tuscany. The event took place at the Pratello Country Resort which had a quaint little church, a villa for guests to stay and a beautiful manicured garden with archways in bloom and pathways lined with flowers. The ceremony took place on the steps outside of the tiny church with the guests seated in the courtyard. The perfect…

San Gimignano is one of those picturesque places that seems like it should only exist in a fairytale. Its medieval towers, beautiful scenic views and relatively low tourist traffic make it perfect for an exclusive Italian getaway, or a fun and playful family vacation shoot!

As we strolled through the bright, tiny streets, every corner seemed to become the perfect backdrop for a stunning photo. It’s so much fun to be able to capture…

Vacation photography in Florence, Italy is something I never imagined I would have the opportunity to do. Living in this beautiful ancient city while doing something I love is a great adventure and I am excited for each new challenge that it brings. This photoshoot was done this past summer, in the middle of the heat wave, but no one seemed to mind as we made our way past breathtaking views and historical squares.

Honeymoon Travel Photography Shoot in the city center of Florence, Italy
Florence, Italy, in my opinion, is one of the best places to spend your honeymoon and, of course, to take unique and intimate photos. With the quaint Tuscan charm and the beautiful sun-kissed landscapes filling the background it is hard to find yourself disappointed that you made the trip.

Doing portrait sessions in Florence has proven to…

Dreaming in Motion

Dreaming in Motion

I’ve been inspired for a while now by Jamie Beck & Kevin Burg to start doing Cinemagraphs (Moving Still Photographs). Photography has always had a sense of mystery and magic for me but by adding a little motion it just takes the story to an entirely new and exciting level. Moving images have been around for quite a long time but it wasn’t until Jamie Beck & Kevin Burg started creating these images for their blog that people started taking notice.

This past summer I was able…

This past week, in between Pittsburgh’s rain and clouds, I was able to do a senior portrait session at Hartwood Acres Mansion. The mansion sits amongst beautifully landscaped flower beds and perfectly shaded trees, just right for a photo shoot or a cool summer picnic!

Art by Dwight

Art by Dwight

I am the daughter of Dwight Pritchett, the Pittsburgh based artist and blog author of Art by Dwight. Dwight does a very unique style of art that involves doing a lift, or a rubbing, of a manhole onto canvas. After doing the lift he then takes it into his studio to create the finished piece. As a photographer I couldn’t help going with him a couple times and documenting his work.

The process is almost a kind of…

A Girl in Florence

A Girl in FLorence

On a hot sunny morning I made my way to meet Georgette for a photo shoot near a quiet park away from the usual tourists of Florence. Georgette is the author of one of my favorite blogs here in Italy called: ‘Girl in Florence’. She is truly a modern renaissance man, woman in her case. She works several jobs, writes a fantastic blog, and still has time to check out all the beautiful things Florence and…

This collection is composed of quality red, white, and sparkling wines, all in beautiful bottles with the unique Saraceni label. The best part of photographing this collection was being able to taste test…
