The Wary Family | Family Portrait Session | Mellon Park

2017-09-20_0014

Taking photos of the Wary family for the past 3 years has filled me with so much joy and perspective on what it means to truly document your family's life. These images hold so much love and light, and it has been amazing to see their growth over the years. It is important to keep moments of closeness as a family documented for years to come.

Imagine Academy Daycare, Preschool, Learning Center

1. Hello! It's so great to have you on the blog! I want start by asking you to introduce yourself, what sorts of things do you enjoy doing with your leisure time?

I love spending time with my three kids and husband Mark. Whether it's playing at the park, making creations at home, or reading to them! Mark is the Director of Bands at Laurel Highlands, so I love going to concerts and enjoying the high school's ensembles. I am also part of the school board, trying to make a difference for our district and community. Finally, I love to cook, bake and exercise in all my free time ;) !

2. So tell us a little bit about what you do, the services you offer and where your located.

We are a daycare and preschool center, housing children aged 6 weeks old all the way up to school aged. We provide care and early education for these little ones, and my amazing staff works so hard to make sure they are so very loved and learn through play, social interaction and our curriculum that prepares them for the big leap to kindergarten! We also are along the Marshall School bus route through Laurel Highlands School District, so we provide before and after school care for school aged children. We are located on North Gallatin Avenue Extension in Uniontown.

3. Aside from purposes of income, why do you do what you do? What do you enjoy most about your work?

I just love working with the children! Every part of my life involves the youth of the community, as I feel they're the most valuable asset we have! I love seeing them grow through the center--tiny babies that blossom into beautiful little young people that spread their wings out into the big world when they leave us. I want to provide the best foundation possible, and I firmly believe we do that here. I love meeting new families and making those community connections nurturing some of the youth of the county.

4. Do you have a mission statement, or to put it more simply, do you have a mission in general when you think about completing your work?

Imagine Academy exists to enhance and develop the emotional well-being and social development of our children, with a particular focus on the encouragement of a child’s natural imagination. Through our classrooms, we hope to develop social, ethical and intellectual skills, offering a variety of useful education explorations, while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive to their fullest potential.

5. Is there any ways in which your business gives back to the community?

Imagine Academy has various community service projects each month. We did our angel tree in December for a local nursing home and also had a toy drive. Our preschool students colore pictures for children at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. We aim for a service project each month and our families rise to the occasion every time. We believe there is so much value in teaching our youth to give back.

7. What is the best way for people to contact you?

If you are looking for experienced, loving teachers and caregivers, come visit us at Imagine Academy. The value of good quality childcare with women you can trust and witnessing that love of learning at these early stages cannot be understated.

Paula's Cookies and More | Uniontown PA | Featured Business Friday

Paula recently opened Paula’s Cookies and more, located on Historic 39 Beeson Blvd, PA. Paula offers an array of fresh cupcakes, cookies and cakes for any occasion.

Shia Turns One | Cake Smash | Family Film Session

I have been over the moon about doing this blog post, for reasons soon to be obvious. Little baby Shia has recently turned one and there was no better way to ring in such an event but with an first ever tasting of cake and a crisp 58 degree September morning. The Maser family was one of my first family's that I ever photographed on film, about a year ago this time. See Shia's Maternity Session here. And, they were one of the first family's to jump on board when I began offering film session exclusively. I am so incredibly in love with all of these moments captured and I genuinely hope they spark something inside of you as well.

Shia, even if you don't find me entertaining enough for giggles, I still find  you incredibly handsome.... without further ado....

Film Family Session Magic

This family is INCREDIBLE. This film session (mixed with a few digital) is complete with beautiful light, lots of laughs, and the moving realness that film images tend to evoke. I can't say enough about these 3; Amanda, GJ, and little Greyson had us smiling ear to ear the entirety of their session. Let's just say, there was a little bit of tag, jumping, and street performing involved. I'm in love, and I can only hope they move you.

Aaaaand... some behind the scenes goodness.
