Jillian & Zack: Oakland Engagement Photos

Meet Jillian & Zack!

These two finance Pitt grads chose the perfect spot for their engagement session... Oakland! There's something about Oakland in the fall that feels a bit like the movie "You've Got Mail" (if you've never seen it... it's a good one!)

We started off their session at the Mellon Institute columns, then headed over to Heinz Chapel, the Cathedral of Learning, and finally, a beautiful little grass/tree area near the library. That had to be my favorite spot… the fall colors were so gorgeous!

I am so excited to be a part of their December 2024 wedding (which was thoughtfully planned for that time around the Pitt sport schedule I love it!).

Congratulations on your engagement, Jillian & Zack!

Ava S: Sunrise Mellon Park Senior Photos

Meet Ava!

Ava is a senior at Avonworth who is hoping to study engineering post high school. She's in lots of different clubs at school and loves fall! We had the most beautiful morning at Mellon Park for her senior photos, and she brought some gorgeous outfits that complimented the changing fall scenery so well!

Congrats on your senior year, Ava!

Katherine D: Historic Harmony Senior Photos

Meet Katherine!

She's a senior at Mars who has already been accepted to a ton of awesome schools - go girl! She's a Chipotle & Chick-fil-A lover who chose to have her senior photos done in one of my favorite locations... Historic Harmony!

What I LOVE about this location is the amount of variety (and color!) you can get within a very short walking distance. It has that small town charm and I always get some of my favorite images here!

We had a blast walking around town with Katherine and her mom and getting to explore so many spots on such a beautiful fall day. Congratulations on your senior year, Katherine!

Avery C: Hartwood Acres Mansion Sunrise Senior Photos

Meet Avery!

There's something about that beautiful golden light... especially in the fall!

Avery is a fan of fall, and thankfully, we were able to find some beautifully colored trees for her session! She's a senior at Mt. Lebanon, and though she doesn't claim to be a morning person, she killed it for her sunrise senior session!

All of my senior sessions take place within the first two hours of sunrise, or the last two hours of the day before sunset. This allows me to have the best natural light of the day for all of my sessions!

Avery's mom, little brother, and Frenchie Stella joined us for her photos too, which made our time all the more fun!

Congratulations on your senior year, Avery!

Gaby O: Grove City College Senior Photos

Meet Gaby!

Gaby is a senior at Seneca Valley, and a cheerleader! She chose a different location for her photos... Grove City College, which was so much FUN! There are so many beautiful architectural elements around the campus, so there was no shortage of beautiful backdrops for us to use. And with this session being in the summer to fall transition timeframe, we had some beautiful florals AND fall leaves to work with. It is one of my favorite times of the year for senior photos!

Congratulations on your senior year, Gaby!

Katie V: Moraine State Park Senior Photos

Meet Katie!

She's a senior at Eden Christian Academy who is graduating in the Spring of 2024! She loves art, fashion, music, and nature, and hopes to possibly study fashion post high school.

Katie chose Moraine State Park for her session, which is GORGEOUS in the fall... it's one of my favorite spots to take photos in the fall! And Katie came prepared with three beautiful fall inspired outfits, all of which complimented the backdrops we used perfectly!

Congratulations on your senior year, Katie!

Kylie C: Seneca Valley High School Senior Photos

Meet Kylie!

She’s a Seneca Valley High School varsity cheerleader who I had the pleasure of photographing around Hartwood Acres Mansion a few weeks back!

I photographed Kylie’s twin sister, Natalia, a week before Kylie (click here to see Natalia’s blog post!). I love photographing twins… it’s so fun to see how different or similar they are! And Natalia and Kylie are both so different - but both so beautiful, inside and out!

Kylie was so much fun to photograph! She, like her sister, had three killer outfits and was a pro in front of the camera! And take note of her last outfit… a black dress in the garden. I wasn’t sure how a black dress would look in the garden setting but I LOVE how those photos turned out, and how she really stands out from the florals around her!

Congrats on your senior year, Kylie!

Agatha N: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

Meet Agatha!

She's a senior at Trinity who plays basketball, volleyball, snowboards, skis... she does it all! And on top of all of that, she's incredibly smart (and has the prettiest hair!)

Agatha and her mom drove all the way from Washington PA for a bright and early senior session a few weeks ago. And we had the whole place to ourselves, which was amazing!

Also, Agatha found me on TikTok... which I just love!

Congratulations on your senior year, Agatha!

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!

Camryn & Zach: Moraine State Park Engagement Photos

Meet Camryn & Zach! (And their pup, Kip!)

I photographed Camryn & Zach at the gorgeous Moraine State Park on a beautiful late summer/early fall evening in celebration of their engagement! They are a sweet pair who is planning on celebrating their wedding day next year in an intimate ceremony down south. They met while attending IUP!

Moraine was looking especially gorgeous on the night of their session - it is one of my favorite locations for that "summer to fall" transition (And quite possibly my favorite fall spot!)

Congratulations on your engagement, Camryn & Zach!
