Point State Park Engagement Session

I love a fun mini engagement session, especially when it is in a classic Pittsburgh location like the Point. Even though the fountain was already off for the season, it is still a great option for yellow bridges, skyline views, and a park vibe.

Mt. Washington & The Point Engagement Session | Whitney & Ian

What better way to start a photoshoot than a picnic and champagne in the back of a pickup overlooking the city skyline! After enjoying a glass (or two), we headed down to grab some epic shots at Smithfield Street bridge, before wrapping things up at the Point.

Summer in Pittsburgh is perfect for senior portraits. The sun in the sky, the Point State Park fountain in the background - what could be better? It is absolutely classic, and never goes out of style.

Smithfield St. Bridge Senior Portraits | Rachel

I know many of my high school seniors end up on the North Shore for portraits. The yellow bridges are classic. But Pittsburgh has 400+ bridges to choose from, and the Smithfield Street Bridge is a personal favorite. The blue grey color combined with the pops of yellow makes for a gorgeous background - especially with a neutral dress like the one Rachel picked out!

Pittsburgh Anniversary Session | Kathleen & Jeff

These two love birds were so much fun to photograph. They decided to take some portraits to celebrate their anniversary, and go to some of the spots they didn’t have time for on their wedding day. Personally, I love the idea of getting back in front of the camera for anniversaries. It’s always amazing to be able to re-capture that feeling of excitement.

Even though it rained for some of their pictures, Kathleen & Jeff still rocked it. I think the rain actually made for some amazing images.

Sarah & Jon | A North Shore & Point State Park Engagement

Sarah and Jon wanted photos with the city in the background, but we ended up with so much more.  The sunset that night rivaled that on any beach!  It was incredible.  They also brought their two adorable six-month old puppies.

Sarah and Jon wanted photos with the city in the background, but we ended up with so much more.  The sunset that night rivaled that on any beach!  It was incredible.  They also brought their two adorable six-month old puppies.  It was definitely a challenge to get them to pose nicely for the camera, but the candid shots while we attempted to get them to sit in once place more than made up for it.

Nicole & Patrick | A Pittsburgh Engagement

Nicole and Patrick were determined to have their engagement photos taken during Pittsburgh's annual Arts Fest, and I am so thankful it worked out!  One of the coolest exhibits during this year's show was a sidewalk covered by multi-colored umbrellas (Umbrella Sky), designed by Sextafeira Produções.  We were lucky enough to have the exhibit be fairly empty, probably due to the threatening dark clouds!  

As we walked back over to the North Shore, the sun peeked out and hit the city with that gorgeous golden glow: the buildings lit up and provided the perfect backdrop to ending their session.  On the way back to our cars, we grabbed a few quick pictures at the top of the parking garage, and called it a night.  

Check out all their beautiful images!
