Seniors
I already have so many favorites from this one!
Julia is a North Allegheny senior who hopes to go into the medical field post high school! She's a dancer, and she was such a blast to photograph! She brought two knock-out dresses that were perfect for twirling!
Also, she brought flowers to incorporate into her session from her Nonna's garden... so sweet & meaningful.
Congratulations on your senior year, Julia! And thank you for such a fun session!
Meet Kaiya!
She is a Charier's Valley senior who is graduating with the class of 2025! Is she not stunning?!
Kaiya came equipped with three gorgeous outfits - two dresses from Abercrombie, and a top from Altar'd State! Her blue tweed dress with gold buttons was a stunning choice against the Hartwood Mansion stone... and they other two outfits were perfect for the scenery, too!
When I asked Kaiya what she was hoping to study after high school, she told me that she was interested in not just one career possibility - but a handful of different ones, one of the top being computer science! What a great problem to have, to have TOO many possibilities
Congratulations on your senior year, Kaiya!
Meet Bella!
Bella is a Seneca Valley senior who hopes to study nursing post high school! She plays softball and was a champ in front of the camera!
I adore the outfits she chose for her session - four different ones with so much variety! I love her mix of colors & neutrals. We were able to get so many different looks and backgrounds into this one session!
Congratulations on your senior year, Bella!
Meet Mikayla!
Mikayla is a Chartier's Valley senior who had *the* perfect morning for her senior photos! She even woke up for a sunrise session on a Saturday... talk about dedication!
She came prepared with FOUR amazing outfits - and they were all dresses, so you better believe we did a lot of twirling And just in case you were wondering.. I believe they're all from Altar'd State!
Mikayla, you were truly a joy to photograph! Thank you so much for such a fun morning!
I am SO EXCITED to share this session on the blog today! This was my first time (and hopefully not only time ;) ) photographing a session at Root + Bloom in Renfrew, PA - a florist who has opened her garden for photo sessions! It was such a treat to photograph Samantha’s photos here and to flex my creative muscles at a new location.
Meet Samantha! She is a senior graduating with the class of 2025 from Mars High School. She really wanted summery, flower filled photos for her session. Her mom had the amazing idea to book this location for her session!
Rachelle from Root + Bloom is an incredible florist who has a flower oasis right in her backyard! To those who may be wondering... yes, you can book a photo session on her property! I'll link to her website below in case you are interested!
But back to our senior, Samantha! Samantha is a dancer and hopes to study biology, then go on to PA school. She has a fun and bubbly personality, which was so much fun to capture in her photos!
In addition to using her beautiful garden, Rachelle also made a bouquet for us to incorporate into Samantha’s session.
Congratulations on your senior year, Samantha!
It has been busy busy busy around here - senior season is in full swing, and it's been a ton of fun!
We had a beautiful morning for Gabby's senior session! She lives super close to Hartwood (definitely a good choice for a 7am start time!), and she hopes to study business post high school!
Gabby brought the loveliest outfits with her... and in addition to using the Hartwood Mansion area, we also ventured down to the Hartwood Stables... a first for me! But somewhere I've always wanted to take photos at!
Gabby's mom brought some beautiful flowers from her garden that we incorporated into the session, too... I love!
Congratulations on your senior year, Gabby!
You know I love Hartwood... but there's something magical about Mellon Park & the Mellon Institute, too! And both spots were in their prime the night of Natalia’s session!
Natalia is a Chartiers Valley senior! Her first day of school was the day of her senior session - talk about a great way to kick off senior year!
Natalia came with 5 gorgeous outfits for her photos... each of them just as beautiful as the last! Her and her mom had a vision for her photos and I think we were able to bring it to life. Natalia also plays basketball and lacrosse!
Also... Mellon Park - wow! It has all of the gorgeous architecture that Hartwood has, but a little bit of extra "glowy" light... which I love! It's a great alternative to Hartwood if you're looking for something a little different.
Congratulations to Natalia on her senior year!
Meet Lizzy!
She's a Seneca Valley senior whose session took place at the beautiful Hartwood Acres Mansion on a beautiful morning right at sunrise!
I'm thankful that we were able to get some glowy morning light too - and the mansion area practically to ourselves!
Lizzie plays volleyball and wants to attend college somewhere warm. Her pup Marty came along and enjoyed perusing the garden... so of course we needed to get him in a few photos!
Congratulations on your upcoming senior year, Lizzie!
I also want to give a HUGE shout out and thank you to my incredible assistant Dani for helping me with this super early morning session - and for the many others you have helped me with too!
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!
Meet Makenna 🌸
She's an incoming Seneca Valley senior who's graduating with the class of 2025... and she totally nailed her senior session!
This was our second attempt at a session date for Makenna - our first attempt (earlier the same week) was rained out! Due to another pending threat of rain (or so we thought...) we moved her session up a few hours to try to avoid more rain. But guess what... it never rained! We had dark skies swirling around us, but thankfully, we made it through her whole session without a drop!
Makenna was a natural in front of the camera.. which wasn't surprising, considering the fact that her sister (who I photographed two years ago) was too! I'm honored to get to work with families throughout the years... it truly is such a privilege!
