Fall Oakland Engagement Session | Sarah & Colin
Fall Oakland Engagement Session | Sarah & Colin
Sarah told me that they wanted to just have fun for their engagements, so we frolicked through the tall grasses in Schenley Park. The best photos always happen when you’re willing to act silly and just go with the flow. We ended their session at Mellon Park, which is timeless for a Pittsburgh engagement.
Mellon Park & The Museum Senior Portraits | Bernie
Mellon Park & The Museum Senior Portraits | Bernie
Bernie absolutely slayed his senior portraits. He models high-fashion currently, so senior portraits were a great opportunity to take photos that focused more on himself and his personal style. I had to keep reminding him that he is allowed (and encouraged!) to smile and laugh during the session. We started out at Mellon Park for a floral give, then headed into Oakland for a quick stop at Phipps and the museum exterior.
Mellon Park & Phipps Senior Portraits | Anjali
Mellon Park & Phipps Senior Portraits | Anjali
I love repeat clients! I got to meet Anjali during her brother’s senior portrait session, and it was so nice to see her again for her portraits. We went to my favorite floral spots in the city, Mellon Park and Phipps. You just can’t beat the florals in the summer time! I offer discounted rates for weekday day time sessions, and the other perk that comes with that is the Phipps public garden is open!
Mansions on Fifth & The Highline Senior Portraits | Reese
Mansions on Fifth & The Highline Senior Portraits | Reese
Highlighting your personal style is a big part of what senior portraits should be, and Reese certainly brought it! I loved the combinations of her fashion and the locations we chose. Mansions on Fifth really stood out to me for bringing in those dark wood tones and unique architectural elements. What do you think!?
Phipps Senior Portraits | Cori

Cori absolutely rocked her senior portraits! We had such gorgeous weather, and it made it all the more fun. We started out the session at Mellon Park, which is timeless for a garden style. Of course we had to pop by Phipps to finish things up. Their entrance florals this year were incredible, definitely one of the best displays they’ve had.
Mellon Park Family Session | The R Family
This family was full of laughs and dancing! The girls had a blast spinning around and enjoying the park.
Washington's Landing Engagement Session | Lorena & Sam
Lorena and Sam brought their cute puppy to their engagement session. I always love when pets come to the session. We started things out at Mellon Park - a photographer favorite for a reason. For some classic Pittsburgh, we ended the night at Washington’s Landing. I love this view of the city.
Mellon Park & The North Shore Senior Portraits | Riley
I so love this combination of locations for portraits of all kinds. You get the best mix of old world architecture with the bricks and iron gates, then move to the fun, modern Pittsburgh skyline. We had great weather for Riley’s senior portrait session as well, so you can’t ask for anything more!
