Pittsburgh Senior Portraits | Rebecca

When you bring a car as a prop for your senior portraits - you know it is going to be epic! Combine that car with a vibrant pink jumpsuit, and you have Rebecca’s Pittsburgh inspired senior portraits. My personal favorites are the night shots taken in Garrison Canal downtown. The reflection of the art installation off the roof of the car is next level!

Strip District & North Shore Senior Session | Leah

Leah chose some classic Pittsburgh locations for her senior portraits - the Strip, and the North Shore. You can’t go wrong with the bold colors and graffiti of the Strip, especially with the fun and trendy outfits she chose. We went a little dramatic and fashion-inspired with some of the lighting to really highlight her choices. I think she rocked it!

North Shore Senior Session | Annie

Annie was a blast to work with. She loves musical theater, so the first thing we did was head into the city and the cultural district for some photos by the Benedum. It was a gorgeous sunny day, and we enjoyed it; going everywhere from the North Shore to up on Mt. Washington - with lots of pictures along the way!

Gritty Strip District Senior Session | Olivia

I’m obsessed with everything from this senior session. We explored the Strip District to capture that authentic Pittsburgh vibe, and the photoshoot just screams ‘steel city’. As the sun started to set, we crossed the 31st St Bridge over to Washington’s Landing to grab a few nature shots, and end with the skyline. The whole session was a great mix of everything that makes Pittsburgh great.

Strip District Senior Session | Parker

Parker rocked his senior session in the Strip. We searched out murals & alleys to get the best spots, but my personal favorite was when Parker insisted on showcasing some classic Pittsburgh industrial spots. We ended the session with a sunset that may be one of the best I’ve seen this year.

Oakland Senior Session | Maggie

Maggie rocked her senior photos! We started with a gorgeous, floor length gown. I love when high school seniors choose something formal as one of their outfit selections.

Our next stop was Phipps Conservatory, which is always a great location for nature shots. We hiked all over the block, including a few photos along the path to Panther Hollow. Then headed to the cars for one last stop - twilight shots along the North Shore.
