Oakmont Country Club was the perfect backdrop for Justin's senior photos - especially being a golfer himself! The club is known as the "oldest top-ranked golf course in the United States," and was established in 1903. With lots of charm and classic decor, Oakmont provided ample opportunity for unique imagery - and Justin was a pro in front of the camera! Congratulations on your last year of school, Justin!
I loved having the opportunity to take Hannah's senior portraits at Hartwood Acres just a few short weeks ago! Hannah is a senior at Eden Christian Academy (where I am an alum!) and just has the sweetest personality (and of course, the most beautiful hair!). Congratulations on your last year of high school, Hannah! :)
Right at the beginning of Lauren, Cody, and Jam's family session, I learned that Lauren and Cody got engaged just a few weeks prior (congratulations again, you two!!!) in an epic proposal that literally happened ON the Pittsburgh incline, right at twilight! Talk about romantic!! But the true purpose for these photos was to get some shots of all three members of this adorable family (including Jameson or "Jam") to hang on their walls! We used one of my favorite spots at Moraine State Park and got all kinds of scenery - woods, fields, a dock, and a beautiful rocky shoreline for lots of variety! I just love these three and am so excited to share their photos!
How many high school seniors do you know who want to go to school to become a cardiac pediatric surgeon? Anyone? None? Hard to believe! When Rachel told me she had a passion for the heart and a love for children, which made becoming a cardiac pediatric surgeon a no brainer for her, I was in complete awe! The fact that this girl has such a specific calling and passion for something so specific amazes me - God makes us all so individually beautiful and unique! And, as you might be able to tell looking through her photos - we had SO MUCH FUN taking her photos! She is a ball of joy and energy and I am so excited to share her portraits! Rachel, you are going to do amazing things!!
Today I'm excited to share Danielle's senior photos from her McConnell's Mill senior session! I had the privilege of photographing Danielle's brother, Joey, just last year at McConnell's Mill for his senior photos (see more from his session here). I love this family and I'm just so excited to share these photos of this sweet girl!
Is anyone tired of seeing Hartwood sessions yet?! I have to be honest - I'm definitely not tired of photographing them! I think every time I go (which has been a lot this spring/summer!) I fall a little bit more in love with it. (Plus, I feel like I need to get in all of these brightly colored flower photos before winter time hits!). But beyond all that - I had the complete pleasure of photographing Maddie yesterday evening! Her sweet, outgoing personality made her a dream to photograph (and her love for grapefruit and Conley cookies from Monte Cello's is out of this world!!). Check out a few of my favorite photos from her session below!
Cailey is a hockey-playing senior from Pine Richland who is just the cutest! Even though it sprinkled throughout about half of Cailey's session, she was a trooper and didn't let the rain dampen her spirit! We had so much fun hanging out with her - congratulations on your last year of school, Cailey!
I have to give MAJOR props to Sam - she spent her last morning before her senior year with me... at McConnell's Mill... at the crack of dawn. And she had a smile on her face the entire time! We were able to hit up some BEAUTIFUL morning light, and Sam jumped right into posing with ease - I couldn't believe she had never had her photos taken professionally before! Sam is an avid reader, and reads more books in a month than I read in a year. She's just an all around awesome person to be around! Congratulations on your last year of school, Sam!
Ohhh do I love this girl! I know I say that all of my seniors are the sweetest - but they all truly are, and Twesha was no exception! This girl is naturally gorgeous, incredibly talented, and if it tells you anything about her dedicated, hard-working personality, her name means "intelligent." For her wardrobe, Twesha brought two street outfits along with an authentic Indian dress, which was SO much fun to photograph! Never be afraid to incorporate something that represents your personality or your background into your shoot. The results are always awesome!
Thank you so much for an amazing time, Twesha! You are a rockstar!
If there's one thing you need to know about Melissa, it's that she LOVES Chick-fil-A (I always tend to bond with my seniors over food ;) ) - so of course, we hit it off when I told her I was the cow once for a Christmas special at our hometown Chick-fil-A! (Funny side story - I unknowingly had walking pneumonia while I was in the suit and scared a lot of kids with my coughing - ha!). Melissa was the absolute SWEETEST to work with, and to match her personality we had some gorgeous, sweet light! Hartwood really never disappoints. Check out a few favorites below - thank you Melissa for being so much fun to work with!! :)
