Oakland & North Shore Senior Portraits | Julianna
For Julianna’s senior portraits, we had to start with a classic and timeless location - the columns in Oakland. They are timeless for a reason, and a great start to celebrate Julianna’s last year of high school. We made a second stop across the street at Pitt campus to take advantage of the bold red doors and classic architecture.
National Aviary Wedding | Kristen & Brett
National Aviary Wedding | Kristen & Brett
Kicking off the first big wedding of the year with a BANG! Kristen & Brett’s wedding was such a joy to capture. It was filled with amazing vendors, visits from penguins, and lots of smiles. Personally, I’m obsessed with the bright colors. It makes me ready for summer.
Point State Park Engagement Session
I love a fun mini engagement session, especially when it is in a classic Pittsburgh location like the Point. Even though the fountain was already off for the season, it is still a great option for yellow bridges, skyline views, and a park vibe.
Strip District Senior Portraits | Aiden
Strip District Senior Portraits | Aiden
Aiden wanted something a little edgy and different for his senior portraits, so of course we had to head to the Strip District. Adding in lots of graffiti, good outfits, and some dramatic lighting hit the spot.
Cincinnati Engagement Session | Kim & Greg
They were kind enough to invite me down to their place in Cincinnati for engagement photos. I’m kind of obsessed with the locations they picked. Can we just move Ault Park to Pittsburgh? Because that would be nice. Sunrise there was absolutely unreal.
Pittsburgh Winter Engagement | Kristen & Brett
Pittsburgh Winter Engagement | Kristen & Brett
I love a good engagement session in the winter season. Snow on the ground just makes for amazing portraits. Throw in a stop to Millie’s Ice Cream and the Point, and you know it is going to be epic. Plus their puppy made an appearance!
Riverfront & North Shore Engagements | Emily & Matthew
Aspinwall Riverfront Park is such a cool blend of nature and industrial. Add some winter weather vibes, and you have Emily & Matthew’s engagement session! It was a chilly day for photo, but well worth it to get that pop of snow and light in the background.
Can you believe she made it through a two hour shoot with those shoes? That is mad bravery.
I’m especially thrilled with how their night shots up on Mt. Washington came out. With the leaves being off the trees, you really get a great view of the city lights.
Allegheny Country Club Wedding | Rachel & Henry
2020 is the year of scaled down weddings. But smaller doesn’t mean less. This wedding is a beautiful example of that. For safety, they had an intimate wedding with just immediate family. She got ready in her family home, and then all the events took place at Allegheny Country Club.
