Elizabeth P: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

I had the pleasure of taking Elizabeth’s senior photos on a gorgeous day in May!

Elizabeth is a North Allegheny senior who plans to study marketing post high school. For her senior photos, she wanted a plethora of flowers - so Hartwood seemed to be a great fit! There were some gorgeous bright pink peonies in bloom around the mansion, and Elizabeth even brought a few bouquets of flowers for an added floral punch! (Click here to view my blog post about ways to incorporate more florals into your photos!)

Elizabeth, it was a pleasure to take your photos! Congratulations on your senior year!

Sophia E: North Allegheny High School Senior Photos at Mellon Park

Sophia is a North Allegheny senior who is graduating this spring! She plans to attend Temple University, her snack of choice is kettle cooked jalapeno chips, and she was an absolute delight to photograph during an early April evening at Mellon Park!

Mellon Park has really started to bloom - not only with daffodils on the ground, but also with a beautiful pink tree! Of course, we had to take advantage of that tree during our time together… and I’m so glad that we did! Those are some of my favorite photos from Sophia’s entire session!

Congratulations on your senior year, Sophia!

Edward E: Pittsburgh North Side Senior Photos

Ed is a senior at North Catholic who I photographed a few weeks ago on the North Side! We visited the eclectic Mexican War Streets, as well as Allegheny Commons Park and were able to get so many different backdrops in a relatively short amount of time. And even though it unexpectedly rained for a large portion of his session, Ed didn't let it phase him at all!

Congratulations on your senior year, Ed!

Trudy B: The Strip District Pittsburgh Senior Photos

For as much as I love nature and historical architecture, Trudy’s colorful, gritty Pittsburgh senior session was a breath of fresh air that my little artistic heart needed!

Trudy’s only request for her photos was that there was “no nature” - and while we might’ve had some potted plants and alley weeds in her photos, I think we were able to hit the mark with her choice of location! The great thing about the Strip District is that there are lots of interesting spots to work with within a short walking distance from the Terminal. Colorful steps, interesting brick alleyways, and then a short drive away… a gorgeous parking garage where you can see all of the Pittsburgh skyline!

And besides the location, Trudy was a total GEM to photograph! I had the pleasure of photographing her sister’s senior photos years ago (back in 2015, I think? Time flies!), and their family as well! What a blessing it is to be able to work with families throughout the years and to see how they grow and change!
