I love a fun mini engagement session, especially when it is in a classic Pittsburgh location like the Point. Even though the fountain was already off for the season, it is still a great option for yellow bridges, skyline views, and a park vibe.

Strip District Senior Portraits | Aiden

Aiden wanted something a little edgy and different for his senior portraits, so of course we had to head to the Strip District. Adding in lots of graffiti, good outfits, and some dramatic lighting hit the spot.

They were kind enough to invite me down to their place in Cincinnati for engagement photos. I’m kind of obsessed with the locations they picked. Can we just move Ault Park to Pittsburgh? Because that would be nice. Sunrise there was absolutely unreal.

Pittsburgh Winter Engagement | Kristen & Brett

I love a good engagement session in the winter season. Snow on the ground just makes for amazing portraits. Throw in a stop to Millie’s Ice Cream and the Point, and you know it is going to be epic. Plus their puppy made an appearance!

Aspinwall Riverfront Park is such a cool blend of nature and industrial. Add some winter weather vibes, and you have Emily & Matthew’s engagement session! It was a chilly day for photo, but well worth it to get that pop of snow and light in the background.

Can you believe she made it through a two hour shoot with those shoes? That is mad bravery.

I’m especially thrilled with how their night shots up on Mt. Washington came out. With the leaves being off the trees, you really get a great view of the city lights.

2020 is the year of scaled down weddings. But smaller doesn’t mean less. This wedding is a beautiful example of that. For safety, they had an intimate wedding with just immediate family. She got ready in her family home, and then all the events took place at Allegheny Country Club.

These are my style of family photos. Jumping on the bed, baking cookies while having a flour fight, cuddled on the couch reading a book, and (of course) a fun family video game to end the session. A glass of wine for the parent’s at noon is a good start as well! <3

Hartwood Acres in the fall season is such a beautiful place to be. The sunlight at sunset shines perfectly through the leaded glass windows. Between this beautiful setting and Claire’s awesome choice of wardrobe, this session was a standout!
