Delanie N: North Catholic High School Senior Photos

Meet Delanie!

Delanie is a North Catholic senior who wants to study neuroscience post high school! She loves science and math and had the BEST November day ever for her senior photos!

It's true, November can be a toss up for photos here in Pittsburgh... but when it's slightly warm and the sun is shining, the conditions are some of my favorite for photos. The light is just so beautiful... and we were even able to catch the tail end of some fall color for these portraits!

I am so excited to share more from this session. Congrats on your senior year, Delanie!

Camille B: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

Meet Camille!

I love that Camille brought so many meaningful things to incorporate into her session! Her one year old black lab, Roxie, a sketch pad, and a book - not to mention some beautiful florals that complimented her last outfit perfectly!

We had such a great evening for Camille's photos! The weather was beautiful... it almost felt like fall.

Congrats on your senior year, Camille!

Natalia C: Seneca Valley High School Senior Photos

Meet Natalia!

Natalia was a JOY to photograph! Her bubbly personality shone in her photos all throughout her session - we had such a fun time!

Natalia shared with me that she had been looking forward to her senior session since her freshman year - so of course, it was such an honor to be the one to document this season for her!

She's also a twin (I photographed her twin sister a week after her!), a varsity cheerleader, and hopes to attend college somewhere with a warmer climate!

Congrats on your senior year, Natalia!

Chloe A: Sunrise Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

I met Chloe and her mom at Hartwood Acres Mansion on a beautiful morning at sunrise for her senior session - and boy was it worth it! We had the most gorgeous golden light. I don’t photograph a ton of sunrise sessions, but when I do, they always become my favorites!

Chloe brought a few extra bouquets of flowers to incorporate into her session, which matched almost perfectly with the flowers in the Hartwood garden! They added a beautiful pop to her photos. She even put some in her hair near the end of her session, and we found a beautiful bush that complimented them beautifully!

Chloe is a senior who plans to study marketing post high school! She loves going to concerts, is a barista, and even though she's not a morning person she rocked her early morning session. Congrats on your senior year, Chloe!

Megan G: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

Meet Megan! She's a North Allegheny senior who is interested in becoming a PA post high school! She is an avid golfer, her favorite type of flower is the sunflower and she was a joy to photograph at Hartwood.

We had the prettiest night - not too humid, and the light was GORGEOUS. Bring on the beautiful early fall weather!

Congrats on your senior year, Megan!

Alexis V: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

Hartwood, florals, the most beautiful sunshine = the perfect night for senior photos!

Alexis is a senior at Chartiers Valley who hopes to work in speech pathology post high school graduation! She is also musically inclined and is on her school's drill team. And as you can see - she's stunning! All of her outfits were absolutely perfect choices for the Hartwood grounds... and I love that she chose one short dress, one long dress, and one outfit with a pair of pants. It let us get so many different posing options and tons of variety for her gallery!

Alexis also brought some additional florals for us to work into her photos, including two bouquets and some long stem flowers that we chopped the heads off of for the “laying in the flower” photo. Her mom actually went and hand picked all of her flowers to match her outfits… which I think is the sweetest touch!

Congrats on your senior year, Alexis - thank you so much for the honor of getting to celebrate with season with you!

Brynn A: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

Meet Brynn! She is graduating with the class of 2024 and is hoping to study business post high school graduation. Fun fact... I photographed her two sisters for their senior photos, too, beginning back in 2017 (Morgan & Payton). I can't believe how fast time flies!

Brynn is such a sweetheart, and as she puts it, the perfect mix between her two sisters. She's the youngest of three and was a joy to photograph!

Congratulations on your senior year, Brynn! ❤️

Josie K: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

Meet Josie! She is graduating with the class of 2024 and braved a VERY early morning photo time slot (starting at 7AM!) for some beautiful morning light! I don't know what it is... the light just hits different in the morning (but that time slot is totally not for everyone!).

Josie brought some beautiful sunflowers with her to incorporate into her photos, which was so much fun! She is musically talented and very involved at her local church (love it!).

Congratulations on your senior year, Josie!

Sreyashi M: Pine Richland High School Senior Photos at Hartwood Acres

August 2022 was a month FULL of senior sessions (which just so happen to be my favorite!). And out of all of the sessions I photographed, about 75% of them took place at one of my favorite locations… Hartwood Acres Mansion! Which, you probably know by now, is one of my favorite spots!

And one of the lovely seniors graduating with the class of 2023 who I had the privilege of photographing there was the sweet Sreyashi! She came SO prepared with three gorgeous outfits and so much joy!

Sreyashi is a Pine Richland senior who is involved in many extracurricular activities - including dance (note the pointe shoes we incorporated into some of her photos!) and speech & debate!

One of my favorite conversations I had with Sreyashi during her session was about her involvement in her school’s speech and debate. I am not a huge fan of public speaking, so I was curious if she had sought out an opportunity to be a part of the program because she enjoyed speaking in front of people. When I asked her about this, she told me that while she didn’t like it at first, after being involved on her speech and debate team for a little while, she learned to love it. And that is a simple, yet profound lesson that spoke right to my heart!

Sreyashi, congratulations on your senior year, and thank you so much for the honor of taking these photos for you & your sweet family!

Alexis H: Seneca Valley High School Senior Photos at Hartwood Acres

It was such a joy to get to photograph Alexis around Hartwood in August! We had a lovely garden full of butterflies (that let us get oh-so close!!), beautiful light, and some fun & personal props to incorporate into her photos during our time together!

One of my favorite props Alexis brought was a sash representing the meshing of her Filipino and American cultures. It was such a sweet personal sentiment! She also brought a cute “Class of 2023) sign from Etsy, as well as a beautiful color guard flag!

After high school, Alexis plans on going into the medical field. She is in color guard and loves being a part of her school's musicals! And is just all around so sweet!

Congratulations on your senior year, Alexis!
