The Highline & Station Square Senior Portraits | Talia
The Highline & Station Square Senior Portraits | Talia
Talia had a fashion-forward senior portrait session all over the city! We started in Oakland at the columns, then brought in some color with the Highline. I love the industrial aspect the Highline brought in. To finish off the session, we headed to Station Square, where Talia wore an outfit she made herself!
Downtown Pittsburgh Engagement Session | Alicia & Joe
These two wanted a date-night style engagement session, and our first choice of location happened to be closed. We were able to make a quick change and head to Revel & Roost in Market Square to capture happy hour images, and I LOVE how they came out! Then we finished out their session with rooftop night-shots.
Circuit Center Ballroom Wedding | Corissa and Taylor
Corissa and Taylor got married at the gorgeous Sacred Heart Church in Shadyside. It has a stunning stained glass window at the back, and a long dramatic aisle that is great for the first look moment. For portraits, we had lots of time and were able to go to a number of different locations, including the Columns in Oakland, as well as Washington’s Landing.
Fun Bloomfield Engagement Session | Cass and Tyler
These two were all laughs throughout the entire engagement session. I knew it was a start of a fun day. We went to the Bloomfield/Garfield area of Pittsburgh to grab some shots at their favorite date night location, and grab whatever murals we could along the way. We wrapped up in Oakland at a bar they were often at while in college. Doesn’t get more authentic than this!
Oakland & North Shore Senior Portraits | Julianna
For Julianna’s senior portraits, we had to start with a classic and timeless location - the columns in Oakland. They are timeless for a reason, and a great start to celebrate Julianna’s last year of high school. We made a second stop across the street at Pitt campus to take advantage of the bold red doors and classic architecture.
Oakland High School Senior Session | Savannah
Savannah rocked her senior session with so much style. I mean, come on. I did not have a fashion sense in high school (baggy t-shirts anyone else?). We took photos all around Oakland, then ended the session in the Strip District. I love that we got to incorporate some murals. The whole shoot was a great mix of historic, gritty urban, and fashion.
Strip District & Oakland Senior Session | Janey
Strip District & Oakland Senior Session | Janey
I had a blast photographing Janey. We ran all around Oakland and the Strip District to get these pictures (and even snuck in a smoke bomb or two). As the sun set, we ran to catch the city lights to end the evening.
Oakland Senior Session | Joey
We did a lot of walking on this senior portrait session! The shoot kicked off with a hike down to the bottom of Panther Hollow for casual pictures. Then we drove to the Cathedral of Learning for some formal shots. Personally, I love when my senior guys come decked out in a full suit.
