Jovanna & Troy | An Oakland Engagement

When we met to plan out Jovanna & Troy's engagement session, they had an idea in mind. They wanted snow, and they especially wanted a shot in front of Soldiers & Sailors with snow falling around them. The day before their shoot, Pittsburgh had perfect snow flurries falling down. The day of their shoot - nothing. Even the snow that was on the ground started melting! Pittsburgh weather is notoriously fickle.

Even though we couldn't capture that particular shot, they still braved the cold (really cold) wind around Phipps for their engagement session. We were able to warm up during their more formal shots at the Cathedral of Learning. We even lucked out and got to experience a concert in the Common Room!

They absolutely rocked their entire session. Usually I give some posing tips, but these two seemed like pros! Can you tell?

Congrats!

Mellon Park Senior Session | Troy

Feb 15, 2019

Mellon Park is classic. I love that Troy wore a suit for the first part of his senior portraits. There’s just something about a suit & the timelessness of the architecture. I love it. We ended his session along the North Shore to bring in that city vibe.

Pittsburgh Anniversary Session | Kathleen & Jeff

Feb 13, 2019

These two love birds were so much fun to photograph. They decided to take some portraits to celebrate their anniversary, and go to some of the spots they didn’t have time for on their wedding day. Personally, I love the idea of getting back in front of the camera for anniversaries. It’s always amazing to be able to re-capture that feeling of excitement.

Iceland Trip | Winter 2018

Jon had some extra PTO days left for 2018, so I started looking at the cheapest flights to see where we could go. Turns out, Iceland round trip tickets were only about $250 - score! You may think we’re crazy for heading to Iceland in winter - actually, I think you’re right, we are pretty crazy (the crazy part is I went back less than a month later) . But seeing the Northern Lights has been on my bucket list for a while, and this was our chance. Spoiler alert - we didn’t see the Northern Lights on this trip.

North Park Engagement Session | Dustin and Vicki

Jan 30, 2019

Dustin & Vicki are an active couple, and they often bike out at North Park and stop for a beer (or two). What better way to capture their relationship than to join them for a drink, then explore the park together. We ended up with an amazing sunset that will be hard to top. As you’ll be able to tell from these photos, they are a blast to hang out with.
