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.

Mellon Park High School Senior Session

In March I headed up to New York City for a photography workshop with a few other amazing Pittsburgh photographers. Believe it or not, this was my first time in NYC! We only had about a day to tour around, so we missed a lot of touristy things, but I plan on going back for sure. Luckily we had time to walk the Brooklyn Bridge, enjoy a nice dinner out, and take in a broadway show (Chicago!).

Ahh, Mellon Park, one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh, rain or shine! It is such a gorgeous space for photos (which is why you’ll always see one or two photographers there!). Lily braved the rain for her portraits, and I’m so glad. Pretty sure the rain shots ended up being some of my favorites.
