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.

Red Fox Winery Wedding | Rachel & Bob
Rachel and Bob had a gorgeous wedding! All their details were so stunning, from the ice sculpture to the summery florals. Personally, I’m obsessed with Rachel’s hair color, and how well it worked with the style she picked!

Strip District Engagement Session | Faith & Justin
Faith & Justin just got engaged up at the West End Overlook. They reached out to plan an industrial, Pittsburgh engagement session. So what better place than the Strip District to get that gritty Burgh vibe?

So what better place than the Strip District to get that gritty Burgh vibe? To get some city lights, we ended the session with a stop at Washington’s Landing after dark.
These two are the coolest people, which made for such a fun session!
Devin | A North Park Senior Session
Devin rocked this shoot. We went big, with smoke bombs, sunset photos, and night shots. We lucked out with amazing weather, and beautiful, golden-hour lighting that made the images really stand out.

Sarah | An Oakland Senior Portrait Session | Pittsburgh
Sarah wanted urban, but a focus on the historic buildings of the city instead of the traditional skyline. She decided on a combination of Pitt's campus and Phipps to bring in a more natural element. We started bright and early, right before sunrise.

We started bright and early, right before sunrise. Fog covered the roads and made for a unique backdrop to the start of her shoot. By the end, the fog had lifted, and we captured the vibrant colors of Phipps.
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!
Kristen & Joel | Moon Township Double Tree Wedding
Kristen and Joel met when they worked together. Like something out of a movie, it started as an (almost) forbidden romance - because he was her boss! Luckily, that didn't stop them, and they fell in love quickly.

Their wedding was full of personal touches and details that focused on their shared interests. If you remember, they were the couple that had a video game & puzzle themed engagement session in their home. See it here! So I just knew their wedding would be even better; and I wasn't disappointed! Video game character place cards and table numbers were just the start. My personal favorite was their cake topper.

Allie | A Strip District Senior Portrait Session
Allie | A Strip District Senior Portrait Session
Allie came in from Florida while on spring break. All week we had beautiful weather; perfect sunny, 70 degree days - until the day of her shoot. That morning it was snowing and windy. Unfortunately, we couldn't reschedule, because she was head back to Florida the next day. So we pushed on. Allie rocked a summer dress from her mom's store Whimsy on Fifth, and made me feel a little weak as I shivered in my scarf and winter coat!
We started out at Klavon's Ice Cream Parlor in the Strip to capture a vintage vibe (yes, ice cream during this freeeeeeeeezing cold shoot!). They made her a beautiful peach float to match her dress. Afterwards, we explored the Strip District, including stops at the tire yard, a parking garage, and the old produce terminal.
