The result is outstanding - gorgeous and thoughtful composition with a natural feel. She created a fun environment and then captured the joyful energy. Two weeks after the shoot, she came to our place - with wine, hello! - to walk through the images and then plan next steps. She helped design holiday cards and then patiently guided me through several wall art purchases. The concierge feel to her business style and the incredible product make the investment worth it. I treasure the moments she captured and I love seeing them on my walls. Hire her!

Missy is an amazing photographer and artist! I recommend her without any hesitation…read more The pictures she took of my 7 month old son are absolutely amazing. Everyone comments on the portraits, saying that she was able to really capture his personality in the pictures. She also took portraits of me and my son that also really capture our relationship. I'm looking forward to future portrait sessions with Missy as our son grows up and our family expands. Missy is a ton of fun to be around. It's easy to relax and have fun while she's masterminding these amazing and beautiful images. She has an unreal ability to find and use the everyday scenery around and translate it into magical backgrounds. Her turnaround time is super quick. And she's great at communicating with her customers. I'd suggest checking out her portfolio and you can see for yourself how fantastic her portfolio is.

When it came to the actual events, Andrew made it a very relaxed environment. We got some very beautiful pictures from both days. Overall, I was very pleased with his services and would recommend him to other couples.

This is a really cool park near Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Target around Upper St. Clair that I…read morelike to stop at whenever I'm in the area. The trail is great for beginners or if you just want a quick jog. There are several benches you can sit down on along the way, plus a tree stump in the woodsy part that you can also sit on to rest. It's a very well maintained trail that smells like freshly cut wood chips, and has a nice variety of terrain. I didn't see any dog poop (it's a no-dog park) and no litter at all, which the multiple trash cans around the loop definitely help with. While a good portion of the trail has the wood chips, some areas could use a bit more. After rain, a few spots can get muddy and it can get a little marshy in the grassy part where there is no trail. The outer loop is about 1.2 miles, and there are several spots where the trail branches off. There's a more "woody" section and a more "grassland" section, which keeps it interesting. It's also not hard to find parking at the church across the street. There's a lot of birds chirping and tons of squirrels and bunnies, and every once in a while you'll spot deer. Inside the barn fence there are lambs and sometimes horses, which is a nice touch. Also kind of cool is that there are wild chive plants around this trail which is common in the Pittsburgh area, and you'll find some growing in the park if you know what to look for.

The old house, and farm are really special, and I am so glad that the Upper St. Clair Historical Society maintains these buildings and property so we can occasionally get to visit and see how things used to be. Today they had all kinds of activities going on, from hayrides, petting zoo, sheep shearing, cow milking, yarn spinning, beekeeping, and of course tours of the historic house, barn and outbuildings, all of which are like a museum. This place was well worth the price of admission . . . FREE, but the suggested donation was $5 per person.

Went here on a Sunday to get some family/baby Christmas photos and had an appointment at 2:20 (we…read morearrived at 2:00 to check-in). At 3:30 PM we were finally called for our photo. This is ridiculous and unacceptable on so many levels. First, what's the purpose of an appointment if it means NOTHING. Second, these are children you'r dealing with. Adults can't tolerate waiting for over an hour...how do you think babies and toddlers are going to handle the wait. My 8 month old would have been fine if we actually got in for our photo shoot around 2:20 but by 3:30 PM he was past due for a nap and not a happy baby. Luckily, my older nephews and niece handled the wait better but still unraveled towards the end. Third, could they hire more incompetent staff?! I get it, you're flustered, there's a ton of kids and adults but some organization to your process might help. Oh and it might also help if your online/advertised appointment times weren't 10 minutes when in actuality it takes at least 30 minutes for a photo shoot from beginning to end. I did notice that parents love to have 2-3 outfit changes (we didn't have any) and this form of torture for their kids doesn't last 10 minutes...it's more like 30+ minutes. If you're going to allow people to schedule in 10 minute increments then be a little more diligent in enforcing that time for each group and cut out the nonsense of multiple outfit changes when you have back to back appointments. Finally, we were asked to come back in 20 minutes to view the photos. When we came back (20 minutes later) we had to wait an additional 20 minutes and remind the staff we were waiting. HORRIBLE experience and never going back to get holiday photos at this studio...or any Picture People studio if it's like this.

We had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, I do not remember the photographer's name, but she…read moredid a great job.
