It had been a few years since we…read morecaptured the family with pro pics, so we were due, and I'm so grateful Abby had room to fit us in. The result is outstanding - gorgeous and thoughtful composition with a natural feel. She created a fun environment and then captured the joyful energy. Two weeks after the shoot, she came to our place - with wine, hello! - to walk through the images and then plan next steps. She helped design holiday cards and then patiently guided me through several wall art purchases. The concierge feel to her business style and the incredible product make the investment worth it. I treasure the moments she captured and I love seeing them on my walls. Hire her!

Missy is an amazing photographer and artist! I recommend her without any hesitation…read more The pictures she took of my 7 month old son are absolutely amazing. Everyone comments on the portraits, saying that she was able to really capture his personality in the pictures. She also took portraits of me and my son that also really capture our relationship. I'm looking forward to future portrait sessions with Missy as our son grows up and our family expands. Missy is a ton of fun to be around. It's easy to relax and have fun while she's masterminding these amazing and beautiful images. She has an unreal ability to find and use the everyday scenery around and translate it into magical backgrounds. Her turnaround time is super quick. And she's great at communicating with her customers. I'd suggest checking out her portfolio and you can see for yourself how fantastic her portfolio is.

We had a small ceremony on Friday with our families and a big party with our extended family and friends on Saturday. Andrew was very accommodating in his availability both days. He was the most responsive vendor with which I contracted! Andrew made time to meet with me on several occasions to visit our venue and go over our shot list in person. When it came to the actual events, Andrew made it a very relaxed environment. We got some very beautiful pictures from both days. Overall, I was very pleased with his services and would recommend him to other couples.

I booked Blu Hippo well over one year before my son would be needing his photos. There was no way I…read morewas going to go with someone else. Some might call this a little over-eager, but I know that I had to book her as soon as I saw some of her senior sessions when my kid was a junior! They were fresh, whimsical and deep. Taryn's guidance from what type of clothing to wear to locations for the shoot, made for a very professional experience. She was prepared, informed and knew exactly where and what she wanted to shoot. I simply followed behind to watch her do her thing. Initially, I was nervous that my son would not be able to relax and that it would be awkward, but Taryn killed it on that front. She had a very relaxed, casual style of conversing while taking photos that put my son at ease. Her knowledge of the local area, how the light hits at precise moments with the setting sun and her general awareness of what she wanted to capture in two hours, was impressive. I truly loved the photos and am ecstatic with how they turned out.

This is a really cool park near Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Target around Upper St. Clair that I…read morelike to stop at whenever I'm in the area. The trail is great for beginners or if you just want a quick jog. There are several benches you can sit down on along the way, plus a tree stump in the woodsy part that you can also sit on to rest. It's a very well maintained trail that smells like freshly cut wood chips, and has a nice variety of terrain. I didn't see any dog poop (it's a no-dog park) and no litter at all, which the multiple trash cans around the loop definitely help with. While a good portion of the trail has the wood chips, some areas could use a bit more. After rain, a few spots can get muddy and it can get a little marshy in the grassy part where there is no trail. The outer loop is about 1.2 miles, and there are several spots where the trail branches off. There's a more "woody" section and a more "grassland" section, which keeps it interesting. It's also not hard to find parking at the church across the street. There's a lot of birds chirping and tons of squirrels and bunnies, and every once in a while you'll spot deer. Inside the barn fence there are lambs and sometimes horses, which is a nice touch. Also kind of cool is that there are wild chive plants around this trail which is common in the Pittsburgh area, and you'll find some growing in the park if you know what to look for.

The old house, and farm are really special, and I am so glad that the Upper St. Clair Historical Society maintains these buildings and property so we can occasionally get to visit and see how things used to be. Today they had all kinds of activities going on, from hayrides, petting zoo, sheep shearing, cow milking, yarn spinning, beekeeping, and of course tours of the historic house, barn and outbuildings, all of which are like a museum. This place was well worth the price of admission . . . FREE, but the suggested donation was $5 per person.
