Oakland High School Senior Session | Savannah
Savannah rocked her senior session with so much style. I mean, come on. I did not have a fashion sense in high school (baggy t-shirts anyone else?). We took photos all around Oakland, then ended the session in the Strip District. I love that we got to incorporate some murals. The whole shoot was a great mix of historic, gritty urban, and fashion.
Mellon Park Family Session
Mellon Park Family Session
One winter day, the weather decided to be warm, sunny, and gorgeous. After days of endless cold and clouds, it was amazing to see the sunlight again. I spent the day outdoors, but ran out of things to do around 3:30pm. I sat in my car in my driveway, wishing I had a photoshoot scheduled for that evening. Buttttt, I didn’t.
North Shore Senior Session | Jake
North Shore Senior Session | Jake
What better place to get a Pittsburgh themed senior session than the North Shore? You have the classic yellow bridges, the rivers, and (of course) that gorgeous skyline. Jake actually ended the shoot with some night shots up on Mt. Washington to cap off the day.
Carnegie Mellon Engagement Session | Yang and Denise
Denise and Yang braved the cold for their engagement session! Winter in Pittsburgh can be a challenging time for photos. But it also means less people are out, so it can be less awkward than trying to capture photos on a crowded day.
McConnells Mill Engagement Session | Halli & Tyler
McConnells Mill Engagement Session | Hallie & Tyler
I had so much fun photographing Hallie and Tyler! They made an incredible location even more beautiful. McConnells Mills is a personal favorite. It is green & lush, and an easy hike to get to the most gorgeous scenery. Especially if you’re looking for a natural vibe, this should be at the top of the list.
Mellon Park Senior Session | Troy
Mellon Park is classic. I love that Troy wore a suit for the first part of his senior portraits. There’s just something about a suit & the timelessness of the architecture. I love it. We ended his session along the North Shore to bring in that city vibe.
North Park Senior Session | Zoya
We ventured out to North Park for Zoya’s senior portraits this past Fall. Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year for photos. The greens are still bright, but there are golden leaves to add some interest.
Looking through these photos, you can’t help but smile. Zoya was always ready for a laugh as we walked around the park.
Iceland Engagement | Dallas and Joe
Ahhh Iceland, my new favorite country. I’ve been there twice in the past few months, and am already dying to go back to explore during the summer. My husband and I went there together first, and you can check out that blog post here.
For this trip, I traveled with another photographer, Kat from Requiem Images. I posted on my instagram that I wanted to go back and photograph a couple, and she instantly said she wanted to come too. And here we are!
