Mellon Park & Oakland Senior Portraits | Eliza
If you want some nature photos, but you want to stay close to the city, Mellon Park is the perfect option. It has beautiful architectural details like iron gates and brick walls, while being surrounded by greenery. Just down the street are the stately buildings of the Oakland area for a fun mix!
Downtown Pittsburgh Senior Portraits | Ally
Downtown Pittsburgh Senior Portraits | Ally
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 Senior Session | Zach
Zach wanted unique, creative senior portraits with dramatic flair. What better place to go than the Strip District and downtown Pittsburgh. We did about half his portrait session at night to get that great dramatic look, and added in some smoke bombs for a fun mix. Check it out!
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!
Victorian Themed Senior Session | Miranda
I’ve been so excited to share these. Miranda is into all things Victorian, so for her senior portraits we had to do something special. She wore a Victorian gown, and we took photos at some of the beautiful homes from that era in Pittsburgh. Our first stop was Mansions on Fifth for their beautiful stained glass and grand staircase. Then we were lucky enough to be granted permission to photograph outside this private home in Highland Park. I feel like the whole shoot was out of a movie. Miranda is most likely going to college for some type of historic preservation, and I can see why!
Sports Complex & North Shore Senior Session | Zach
We started off Zach’s senior pictures with a trip up to Cranberry. He plays hockey, so we wanted to get a few shots in front of the Lemieux Sports Complex with his gear & jersey. Then we headed downtown for some classic bridge and skyline pictures.
