Chicago Engagement Session | Beth & James

A photogenic pup, lots of laughter, and a Chicago sunset makes this session a standout! I hadn’t been back to Chicago since the wedding I captured there in 2018. Beth & James wanted my favorite spot in the city for their pictures, Lincoln Park. It is a natural and gorgeous setting, with the perfect view of the skyline in the background.

Carrie Furnace Surprise Proposal | Hsaio & Michael

Michael reached out to me about planning out a romantic surprise proposal to his long term girlfriend Hsaio. They take photos together a lot, so planning it to happen during a photoshoot just made sense. Throw in exploring a new place while staying socially distant - and there you have it!

To fake her out, we planned the proposal to happen at the end. Michael wanted to throw petals and take a photo standing in the petals. We ‘practiced’ twice, then on the third throw of petals, he got down on one knee. Pretty sure the shock on her face meant his plan worked!

Also, she said yes!

Allegheny Commons Park Engagement Session | Samantha & Tim

Allegheny Commons Park Engagement Session | Samantha & Tim

Samantha & Tim had the sweetest sunset engagement session at one of my favorite Pittsburgh parks - Allegheny Commons. The area right behind the Aviary is so gorgeous at the end of the say. You can just see the hints of the skyline over the trees, and Lake Elizabeth is a fun water feature. Can’t wait to celebrate their wedding!

Mexican War Streets Engagement | Alaina & Andrew

This is such a fun loving couple. You can tell from the photos that we just had a blast working together. It was cold, but totally worth it. I love engagement sessions in the Mexican War Streets of the north side. The character and pops of color just add to the images.

McConnells Mill Engagement Session | Brittney & Robbie

Okay, can we talk about this dress!?!?!?! When Brittney sent me pictured of the dress she was planning to wear, I was in awe. The red is a great contrast against the forest, and we even lucked out with a little bit of snowfall at the end of the photoshoot. The outfit definitely brings in some drama! I can’t wait for their wedding this year.

Raven's Rock WV Engagement Session | Karah & Ian

We drove all the way down to Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia to find the perfect cliff-top view for Karah & Ian’s engagement session. Together, we hiked out to the edge and watched the sunset over the mountains. By the time we finished, we had to hike half the trail in the dark! Good thing we brought flashlights just in case.

I’m 100% obsessed with this view. Who’s driving down to WV next?

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!
