Well, I was really hoping that this photo would look different than it does.That desire doesn’t have anything to do with Abby or my skills as a photographer – but lies completely in our new mudroom itself.See, when the kids and I spent last week at the Lakehouse, Derrick was planning on sanding down the...
As an introduction – I need to say something about this photo!This is a continuation of the “pool” series! I’ve taken a handful of Abby’s Saturday photos based around the different kiddie pools we’ve had & so of course we had to continue the “trend”! I talk at length about this new pool we got...
(If you’d like to take a stroll down memory lane – here are the past 4th of July Abby’s Saturday posts: #358, #306, #253, #154, #103, #51) Yay for a week of no sickness! Every time we go through a round of sickness taking down our house, I tell myself I will be thankful every single day that we...

Hi! I'm Kara!
Welcome to my blog!
I'm a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer and wedding content creator with a love for storytelling, both on wedding days and beyond.
I've been part of the wedding industry since 2009, documenting 250+ wedding days and helping couples preserve the moments, big and small, that make their day uniquely theirs.
When I'm not working a wedding, you'll probably find me creating videos for my personal YouTube channel, The Adventuring Abbeys, where my family and I share our love of amusement parks, roller coasters, and travel.
Around here, you'll find wedding inspiration and behind-the-scenes content, family adventures, amusement park visits, travel stories, and a little bit of everyday life.
I'm so glad you're here!
