Easter weekend was this past weekend.And per our usual “agreement” (with who? I don’t know, it just sounds funny), our plans got shifted and changed around. What was supposed to happen?Well, we were supposed to go to Kennywood on Saturday for a wonderful, family-fun, passholder preview day.Sunday, we were supposed to dress up in our...
Happy Easter weekend!I’ll be honest: things aren’t so hot in the Abbey house this weekend. (Since I primarily write these posts for myself, as a record of my own memories, I’m just going to be honest here.) It’s Easter weekend and we had a lot of fun things planned: Easter dinner with my sisters, egg...
Is it just me, or does Easter feel like it was forever ago already? (Never mind the fact that it was only 2 weeks ago.) Easter this year was so different from last year – in all the very best ways. Last year, we were just entering this brand new state of “quarantine”, everyone was...
Our 2020 Family Album came this week!! Omigoodness – I’m not sure if I have ever been so excited for the mailman to arrive at my house. I had been watching the tracking on my book like a hawk & on Wednesday, it finally arrived. It’s beautiful – I am so happy with how it...
You know what’s funny (in a sad-sort-of-way)? The last time I blogged an “Easter Wrap-Up”, was 2 years ago – in 2018. In that post, I wrote: “I can’t wait until next year when Alethea & Braelynn can hunt eggs together!” Little did I know – that Easter 2019 would be shrouded in sickness, and...
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!
