These were some fun shots to take! I especially love the night time photos we did along the North Shore, and in Garrison Canal. Since Gunnar loves his car, we had to highlight that for a few photos - always fun to use a big prop!

Sydney brought some fun style to her senior session, starting with the fun striped jumpsuit for the North Shore pictures. We ended up walking all through downtown Pittsburgh to the Point. then we headed back to the Clemente Bridge to wrap things up with some night shots.

North Park Senior Portraits | Ava

Ava wanted to celebrate all things nature for her senior portraits. While there are many great locations around the Pittsburgh area, I’m partial to North Park. We can get a mix of being near the water, having large open fields, nature paths, and the woods all in a very small area.

For Julianna’s senior portraits, we had to start with a classic and timeless location - the columns in Oakland. They are timeless for a reason, and a great start to celebrate Julianna’s last year of high school. We made a second stop across the street at Pitt campus to take advantage of the bold red doors and classic architecture.

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!

When you bring a car as a prop for your senior portraits - you know it is going to be epic! Combine that car with a vibrant pink jumpsuit, and you have Rebecca’s Pittsburgh inspired senior portraits. My personal favorites are the night shots taken in Garrison Canal downtown. The reflection of the art installation off the roof of the car is next level!

When Ciara told me she wanted something different, something high fashion, I knew exactly where to take her. The Strip District has those gritty, graffiti backgrounds that highlight her unique style. For night shots, we went for drama to show off her fabulous animal print coat.

For those of you who live to the North of the city, you know all about Hartwood Acres. The mansion itself is gorgeous of course, but the grounds in the summer time are incredible. They are a manicured garden just in front of the mansion, and towards the end of summer this beautiful meadow of black-eye susans appears. Lulu wanted flowers, so what better locations!
