Preston: Peters Township High School Senior Photos

Meet Preston!

He's a Peters Township senior who hopes to study engineering post high school. He hopes to study engineering post high school and his senior session in the city was so much FUN!

I don't get to shoot in the city as often as I used to, so when I do, it's always a treat! We started off Preston's photos in the Strip District, then hit one of my favorite views of the city, then headed to Allegheny Commons Park for our last bit of time.

Preston's mom is an incredible Pittsburgh wedding photographer, so I was honored that she asked me to take his photos.

Preston, a huge congratulations to you on your senior year!!!

Luca S: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

Luca is an Eden Christian Academy senior who plans to attend Liberty University post high school! He plays golf and is recently retired from hockey.

We had the perfect fall night for his senior photos... and the light was incredible at Hartwood Acres Mansion! October is by far my favorite time of year for senior photos.

Congratulations on your senior year, Luca!

Timothy H: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

Meet Tim! He's an Eden Christian Academy senior who plans to study science and/or math post high school. A few weeks ago, I photographed his senior portraits at Hartwood Acres!

You may remember Tim’s brother, Sam, and his senior session four years ago at Hartwood! (Click here to see it). I am always so honored when I get to photograph multiple seniors in one family!

We had a little bit of fall starting to peek out during his session... which was so much fun! I love seeing the seasons change in front of my lens as the months go by.

During his session, we also stopped down to the Hartwood Acres Stables for a few photos! It was a fun change of scenery - there are so many beautiful views down there!

Congratulations on your senior year, Tim!

Nathan W: Moraine State Park Senior Photos

We're heading into my favorite time of year for photos, when the foliage has so much color and texture... and the spot we used for Nathan's senior photos is one of my favorites during this time of year!

And even though it rained for quite a large portion of his session this morning... we got some great images!

Nathan is an Eden Christian Academy senior who is graduating with the class of 2025! Congratulations on your senior year, Nathan!

Julia M: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

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!

Amber & Ryan: Moraine State Park Engagement Photos

You may remember these two from earlier this year... I had the privilege of photographing their proposal in Zelienople earlier this spring (click here to see it)! I was so honored when they asked me to take their engagement & wedding photos. I loved getting to photograph them again in September at Moraine State Park!

And may I just say that Moraine State Park is my absolute favorite location this time of year, from now into the fall. I mean... can you believe all of those colors and textures?! The light was perfect last night... and I was so glad! It was a bit rainy the day of Amber & Ryan's proposal, so I had been hoping for a really beautiful day for their engagement photos. I'm so thankful that that's what we got!

Amber & Ryan, congratulations on your engagement, and thank you for letting me walk through this season with you!

Allison & Bryant: Sunrise Mellon Park Engagement Photos

We have a small intermission from senior season to feature these two - Allison & Bryant!

These two met while working at Chick-fil-A in 2018 and have been dating for six years! They got engaged at the Aviary and are getting married at the White Barn - my one of my favorite wedding venues! (Also, where Nick and I got married back in 2015, so I'm totally not biased )

But this session was extra special because Allison and I grew up across the street from each other! What a joy it is to celebrate this sweet season alongside these two!

Also, Allison & Bryant woke up on a Saturday for a sunrise session.. and we got some of the most gorgeous light as our reward!

Congratulations on your engagement, Allison & Bryant!

Kaiya: Hartwood Acres Mansion Senior Photos

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!
