Sewickley Heights Park Engagements | Rachel & Henry

Since these two amazing people are from out of town, we had to sneak in their engagement session at sunrise on a holiday weekend. Give them major props for being willing to not only get up at the crack of dawn, but get up and get ready for the camera!

They nailed their shoot at Sewickley Heights Park. It is a beautiful little piece of nature tucked away in Sewickley, right down the road from my town of Bellevue. Since we were there right when the park opened, we had the place to ourselves.

Can’t wait for them to get married next year!

Emily | A North Park Senior Session

Kicking off the first of many is Emily. She emailed me with a request for a boho-style shoot with a variety of backdrops.  Of course the first place that came to mind was North Park, simply because of all the variety it has in one location. Waterfalls, the lake, woods, fields of grass, you name it. - it is all at North Park

Emily | A North Park Senior Session

Senior portraits is one of the types of photography I focus on. There is just something about that major life event that I love sharing in. This time of year is when I shoot most senior sessions. Heads up, because I have lots of senior blog posts coming soon!

For Emily's shoot, we even threw a smoke bomb in the mix. I love how the images came out!

Tim & Joey | A Schenley Park & Mt. Washington Engagement Session

Tim & Joey wanted to capture the vibrant city of Pittsburgh for their engagement shoot (along with amazing photos of themselves as well!).  They chose Schenley Park & Mt. Washington and were able to have two different skyline views for their shoot!

Often, couples get professional photographs done for the very first time together during their engagement shoot.  Since it is the first time, it is usually a little awkward, and I often take the lead posing so that my couples can get comfortable.  With these two, I barely had to do a thing.  They were so natural together!  I can't wait to photograph their wedding!

Sherri, Rich, & Maddie | Frick Park Family Session | Pittsburgh Photographer

I feel so blessed to have been a part of this session.  Rich & Sherri are part of my amazing extended family, and it was such a joy to capture little Maddie's newborn pictures last year.  I can't believe it has already been a year since she was born!  

Maddie is inquisitive, adorable, and hysterical! I hope these pictures give you a glimpse into her personality, which I'm sure will only get better as the years go on.

Enjoy!

Thanks for reading!

The Laning Family | An Extended Family Session | Chagrin Falls Ohio

My husband and I met Aaron when we went to college together at Kent State.  They have been very close ever since.  Unfortunately, we live about two hours away from each other, so we don't get to hang out too often.  Since they had their lovely daughter, we've seen them less than we'd like.  That's why I jumped on the chance to travel out their way for a family session with not only them, but their extended family as well!  

We met early in the morning up at Chagrin Falls in Ohio to capture their session.  We took a couple great family pictures, then let the kids have fun at the park to get some great candids as well.  It was a great day.

 

Thanks for reading!
