In Style With Children’s | Pittsburgh Family Photographer | Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation | Omni William Penn Hotel

Yesterday was the In Style with Children’s fashion show benefiting the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation.  This was such a stunning event, so well organized and beautiful!  I met some wonderful people, all with giving and loving hearts, helping the kids of Pittsburgh to be as healthy as can be!

All of the photos from this event, including vendors, runway photos, and all of the red carpet photos, can be found here: http://prints.powderbluephoto.com/instyle  Highlights are below!

We started with a red carpet photo shoot–I captured these photos as guests arrived to the event, I had so much fun with this!

Then there was a lovely presentation by event organizers, including some speeches by Children’s Hospital patients, describing their experiences.  These were the highlight of the event, with many audience members becoming emotional hearing about these young women’s struggles and their experiences going through treatment.

Exposure Triangle Infographic | Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO explained | Pittsburgh Family Photographer

I made this infographic for a short workshop I am teaching today for moms & dads who want to learn to take better photos of their kids.  The most important lesson is about exposure (how much light enters your camera when you take a picture), which is controlled by shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.

Spring Flowers at Trax Farms | Canon F/2.8L 100mm macro lens | Pittsburgh Photographer

This is not my usual subject matter, but I thought it too beautiful not to share!  Jeremy, Jonah, Amelia, and I went to Trax this morning just to get out of the house on this beautiful spring day, and I tested out the macro capabilities on my Canon 2.8 100mm macro lens.  I had just gotten this lens not long before we moved to Pittsburgh, so I haven’t had many opportunities to use it yet.  I am sooooo in love with it now.  Check out these beauties:

Gorgeous!
