Portraits of Sarah
“Once again, you took some great pictures!” ~ Cindi G., Sarah’s mother
Juliane’s Business Portraits
“I love the way you captured the spirit of your subjects. I know Melanie and her family well and it shows what an incredible family they are, and their individual unique personalities. With her professional photos, I like how you were able to strike a balance between them being very professional but personal, since she's in the fitness industry, I love how they show that off, but not in a stiff way where if feels like she's posing. Just brilliant! I would hope with mine that they reflect my personality. I pride myself on excellent customer service, personal attention, and most of all that the design experience is fun and the end results reflect my clients and their unique tastes.” Juliane M.

Beatlemania Now at the Strand
The first live show of the year - “Beatlemania Now” at the Strand Theater in Zelienople. If you love the “Liverpool Four” and haven’t seen this show, I would definitely recommend it. The auditorium is quite spacious but there are just a few rows, so you feel totally present in the show from any seat. What’s your favorite Beatles song?
Actor’s Portfolio for Zoe
Zoe was a thunderstorm on stage. You couldn’t look anywhere else when she was on stage. She played Yente and was the embodiment of a busybody and a matchmaker in the most hilarious way.
Her other interests are playing golf, extreme board gaming, and writing cool music at Vanderbilt.
Actor’s Portfolio for Ian
Ian played Lazar Wolf in Sewickley Academy’s Fiddler on the Roof. When watching Ian on stage, I kept coming back to the thought that he looks a lot like Pierre Bezukhov from Leo Tolstoy's “War and Peace”, specifically in Sergey Bondarchuk’s screen adaptation, when he’s saying “When our lives are knocked off course we imagine everything in them is lost. It is only the start of something new and good. As long as there is life there is happiness. There is a great deal, a great deal still to come.”
Actor’s Portfolio for Grace
Three more features from Sewickley Academy’s Fiddler on the Roof.
Grace played Yussel, the town hatter. Can you tell it was her first time being in the cast of a show?
Portraits on the go: Artists Palette of Death Valley
I always look forward to using my camera on our trips, and not only to capture the memories of the beautiful places we visit. It’s a great opportunity for practicing quick reaction to a photogenic situation, focusing fast, and choosing your composition before your family loses patience and runs away to the next point of interest.
From Pittsburgh with Love
Thank you all for your birthday wishes. Here are some bright spring colors from Pittsburgh with love!
Lacrosse Fan
Lacrosse is Alena’s favorite sport. She fell in love with it last spring, right before the lockdown, and it was one of the things that kept her motivated to go outside, to use the new free time and to learn new skills. I’m really proud of what you've achieved in the past 12 months.
