Cranberry Twp Maternity Session | Megan & Jeff

We had Megan & Jeff’s session at North Boundary Park in Cranberry. Getting up at sunrise is worth it to get that beautiful morning light. We lucked out with some fog as well! Afterwards, we headed back to their house to get some fun lifestyle photos with their pups. Dogs make sessions 10x more fun (and rambunctious).

Victorian Themed Senior Session | Miranda

I’ve been so excited to share these. Miranda is into all things Victorian, so for her senior portraits we had to do something special. She wore a Victorian gown, and we took photos at some of the beautiful homes from that era in Pittsburgh. Our first stop was Mansions on Fifth for their beautiful stained glass and grand staircase. Then we were lucky enough to be granted permission to photograph outside this private home in Highland Park. I feel like the whole shoot was out of a movie. Miranda is most likely going to college for some type of historic preservation, and I can see why!

Raven's Rock WV Engagement Session | Karah & Ian

We drove all the way down to Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia to find the perfect cliff-top view for Karah & Ian’s engagement session. Together, we hiked out to the edge and watched the sunset over the mountains. By the time we finished, we had to hike half the trail in the dark! Good thing we brought flashlights just in case.

Cafe Delhi Wedding | Puneeta & Amrit

Puneeta & Amrit were a joy to work with. They were married at 6:30 in the morning at Cafe Delhi in Carnegie, and we did most of their portraits at nearby Carnegie Park. I had a smile on my face throughout their entire day. When you see their portraits, you can’t help but to smile. Happiness radiates from them.

Sacred Heart & Twentieth Century Club Wedding | Sophie & Ben

This ceremony has to be one of my favorites. First, Sacred Heart in Shadyside is an absolutely beautiful church. The chapel off the main sanctuary just lights up when the sun hits the stained glass. Sophie & Ben’s ceremony started off with the bells being rung. They rang so loudly you could feel it in your chest. Then the a cappella choir began. It was solemn and beautiful.
