CONTENT CREATOR & PHOTOGRAPHER
Our experience with sleep since having children has been .. rough .. to say the least. I’d find myself day-dreaming about what it would be like to sleep more than 4 or 5 hours consecutively without waking up – was that even possible? I mean, once upon a time, I do remember falling asleep at...
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!

Hi! I’m going through a similar situation with my little one….how old was your baby when you used thr 4-5 month coaching?
Our little dude was 5 months old when we started Becca’s 4-5 month sleep program! HIGHLY recommend – he’s now 3 years old & still a sleep-CHAMP!
[…] ever since he was about 5 months old (up to that point he was a horrible sleeper, but we did an online sleep training course and it literally changed our lives). Since we had such smashing success with the sleep trainer – […]
[…] Leander is my only child who will sleep in in the mornings – most mornings he’ll sleep until 6:30am, 7am, 7:30am, sometimes even 8am! Braelynn rarely sleeps past 6:30am, but Leander loves sleeping (he has ever since we did sleep-training with him when he was 5 months old!) […]
