North Shore Senior Session | Jake

What better place to get a Pittsburgh themed senior session than the North Shore? You have the classic yellow bridges, the rivers, and (of course) that gorgeous skyline. Jake actually ended the shoot with some night shots up on Mt. Washington to cap off the day.

Denise and Yang braved the cold for their engagement session! Winter in Pittsburgh can be a challenging time for photos. But it also means less people are out, so it can be less awkward than trying to capture photos on a crowded day.

McConnells Mill Engagement Session | Hallie & Tyler

I had so much fun photographing Hallie and Tyler! They made an incredible location even more beautiful. McConnells Mills is a personal favorite. It is green & lush, and an easy hike to get to the most gorgeous scenery. Especially if you’re looking for a natural vibe, this should be at the top of the list.

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.

We ventured out to North Park for Zoya’s senior portraits this past Fall. Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year for photos. The greens are still bright, but there are golden leaves to add some interest.

Looking through these photos, you can’t help but smile. Zoya was always ready for a laugh as we walked around the park.

Ahhh Iceland, my new favorite country. I’ve been there twice in the past few months, and am already dying to go back to explore during the summer. My husband and I went there together first, and you can check out that blog post here.

For this trip, I traveled with another photographer, Kat from Requiem Images. I posted on my instagram that I wanted to go back and photograph a couple, and she instantly said she wanted to come too. And here we are!

Max has a style like no other! He rocked his session and brought a unique flare to his photos. Personally, I think that bringing a skateboard (and smoke bombs) is probably the coolest way to end a senior session.

He also showed me a hidden place in North Park that I had never seen before. The red sand made it look like we were far from Pittsburgh. It was a difficult climb, but well worth it.

James proposed to Anna at the Pittsburgh Zoo! So what better place to have their engagement photos taken?! It did rain throughout most of their shoot, but that just meant that the zoo was empty. Since we had the place to ourselves, we took our time strolling through.

Luckily, there are many spots that we could go indoors and escape the dreary Pittsburgh weather. The aquarium was a favorite.
