Last week, our sweet little girl turned SEVEN years old!I’m not sure why, but for some reason, 7 seems SO much older & more grown up than 6. I mean, under normal circumstances: a birthday arrives & people ask, “Well, do you FEEL older?” and the answer is no, we always feel exactly the same....
Well, I spent last night reading back thru Leander’s birth story, his one & two year birthday posts & let’s just say, Mama had quite the moment. My sweet little man turns THREE years old today (and I can hardly believe it). You’ll notice (as I pointed out last year): we still don’t have baseboards...
Today, my sweet little boy turns TWO year old!I simply cannot believe that my tiny little baby boy turns two years old today – it seems like just yesterday that Derrick & I were crying in the ultrasound room as the tech told us: “It’s a boy!”Over the last two years, Leander has become this...
It’s the eve of my 29th birthday. 29. The forever age. How did this even happen? I swear I was just turning 20 – heading off to Florida to work at Disney World & soon after getting engaged & married. I can’t really be turning 29, can I? (I mean, that’s like, on the brink of old.)...

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!
