North Park Senior Session | Max
Max has a style like no other! He rocked his session and brought a unique flare to his photos. Personally, I think that bringing a skateboard (and smoke bombs) is probably the coolest way to end a senior session.
He also showed me a hidden place in North Park that I had never seen before. The red sand made it look like we were far from Pittsburgh. It was a difficult climb, but well worth it.
Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium | James and Anna
James proposed to Anna at the Pittsburgh Zoo! So what better place to have their engagement photos taken?! It did rain throughout most of their shoot, but that just meant that the zoo was empty. Since we had the place to ourselves, we took our time strolling through.
Luckily, there are many spots that we could go indoors and escape the dreary Pittsburgh weather. The aquarium was a favorite.
Iceland Trip | Winter 2018
Iceland Trip | Winter 2018
Jon had some extra PTO days left for 2018, so I started looking at the cheapest flights to see where we could go. Turns out, Iceland round trip tickets were only about $250 - score! You may think we’re crazy for heading to Iceland in winter - actually, I think you’re right, we are pretty crazy (the crazy part is I went back less than a month later) . But seeing the Northern Lights has been on my bucket list for a while, and this was our chance. Spoiler alert - we didn’t see the Northern Lights on this trip.
North Park Engagement Session | Dustin and Vicki
Dustin & Vicki are an active couple, and they often bike out at North Park and stop for a beer (or two). What better way to capture their relationship than to join them for a drink, then explore the park together. We ended up with an amazing sunset that will be hard to top. As you’ll be able to tell from these photos, they are a blast to hang out with.
North Shore Senior Session | Olivia
I had so much fun taking Olivia’s senior portraits down on the North Shore. The sunshine and her yellow dress were a match made in heaven.
North Shore Engagement Session | Juliette and Gregg
Juliette & Gregg were just the sweetest. I loved exploring the North Shore & the Point with them. We came thisssss close to getting a parking ticket while we were at the Point, but luck was in our favor! After the Point, we drove up to Mt. Washington so that we could capture the magic of the city at night.
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.
Seven Oaks Country Club Wedding | Kate & Dave
Katie & Dave had a chilly winter day for their wedding. They powered through pictures outside. Other than the shivering & goosebumps, you could hardly tell they were cold!
Since we all road together to get to the first look location, the groomsmen took great pleasure in blindfolding Dave so that he couldn’t catch an early glimpse of his bride-to-be. Getting him on and off the bus was a challenge, but made for some great moments. The look on his face when he saw Kate for the first time made the wait worth it.
