Strip District & The North Shore Senior Portraits | Ciara
When Ciara told me she wanted something different, something high fashion, I knew exactly where to take her. The Strip District has those gritty, graffiti backgrounds that highlight her unique style. For night shots, we went for drama to show off her fabulous animal print coat.
Hartwood Acres Senior Portraits | Lulu
For those of you who live to the North of the city, you know all about Hartwood Acres. The mansion itself is gorgeous of course, but the grounds in the summer time are incredible. They are a manicured garden just in front of the mansion, and towards the end of summer this beautiful meadow of black-eye susans appears. Lulu wanted flowers, so what better locations!
Phipps & North Shore Senior Session | Maddie
Phipps has an amazing variety of backgrounds for Senior Portraits. The lock bridge is one of my favorites. The texture and color adds a fun pop to images. And of course, the North Shore in Pittsburgh is a timeless spot for portraits.
Betsy's Barn Wedding | Amanda & Dayne
Betsy's Barn Wedding | Amanda & Dayne
These two had a fun open air celebration of their wedding vows at Betsy’s Barn. There were some tumultuous clouds throughout the day, and we had a little bit of rain during portraits, but the running away photos made it almost worth it.
Mt. Washington & The Point Engagement Session | Whitney & Ian
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.
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!
Mexican War Streets Engagement | Maura & Lexi
Maura & Lexi were such a joy to photograph! I cannot wait until their wedding next year. If it is this full of love and laughter, it is going to be an amazing celebration!
