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!
Mellon Park Senior Portraits | Isabel
Summertime is a great option for senior portraits. Especially when we start around that perfect golden hour, we get portrait magic like Isabel’s session. We started her session at the popular Mellon Park location in Shadyside, then headed down to Oakland to wrap things up at Phipps.
Mellon and Frick Park Senior Portraits | Laura
For Laura’s senior portraits, we headed to two of the most beautiful parks in Pittsburgh, Mellon Park, and Frick Park. They have stunning architecture that just makes for gorgeous portraits.
Mellon Park & The North Shore | Sydney
Sydney wanted natural and classic for her senior portraits, and there is no better place than Mellon Park for that traditional vibe. We lucked out with sunny warm weather for the entire shoot. We ended up on the North Shore for sunset, and to get those Pittsburgh yellow bridges!
Mellon Park & Oakland Senior Portraits | Eliza
If you want some nature photos, but you want to stay close to the city, Mellon Park is the perfect option. It has beautiful architectural details like iron gates and brick walls, while being surrounded by greenery. Just down the street are the stately buildings of the Oakland area for a fun mix!
Mellon Park Senior Session | Olivia
Olivia wanted a mix of city & garden for her senior pictures. So we started off her shoot at the walled garden at Mellon Park. It is always a classic location with elegant, curated gardens & architectural details. After just a short rain storm interrupted our session, we headed down to Point State Park to finish off the shoot. We had a gorgeous sunset to end the night!
Chloe Senior Portraits | Mellon Park & Phipps
Chloe's senior portraits had a garden vibe to them. The locations and outfits brought to mind spring time, even though we shot these in September. Flowy dresses, floral tops, and garden settings came together perfectly. You may not think it based on these images, but it actually sprinkled on us a little bit while we walked around.
