Meet Sophia!
She's a Chartier's Valley senior who hopes to study nursing post high school! She is a self-proclaimed people person, loves Chipotle (and all things sweet) and plays club volleyball Aside from all of the things she does, Sophia is just such a joy to be around!
Sophia, you are a gem! Congrats on your senior year and thank you for such a fun session!
We also happened to run into a friend of Sophia’s during her session, so of course, we had to get a few photos of them together!
Meet Ruby!
Ruby is a Baldwin High School senior who plans to go into the medical field post high school (following in her family's footsteps!). She loves Chick-fil-A, plays volleyball, and does she not have some of the most gorgeous hair you've ever seen?!
She brought three looks for her photos - a short white dress, a long patterned dress, and jeans and a t-shirt dressed up with heels! I love her choices, they are all so classic with modern elements. And they all went so well with the mansion and garden scenery!
Congrats on your senior year, Ruby!
Meet Delanie!
Delanie is a North Catholic senior who wants to study neuroscience post high school! She loves science and math and had the BEST November day ever for her senior photos!
It's true, November can be a toss up for photos here in Pittsburgh... but when it's slightly warm and the sun is shining, the conditions are some of my favorite for photos. The light is just so beautiful... and we were even able to catch the tail end of some fall color for these portraits!
I am so excited to share more from this session. Congrats on your senior year, Delanie!
Meet Sofia!
Sofia is graduating with the class of 2024 this spring! She plans to study elementary education post high school. She loves sweets (and works at an ice cream shop! ), and believe it or not, she is the third senior in her family I've had the joy of photographing at Hartwood Acres Mansion!
We weren't sure how the weather situation was going to play out the evening of her session... but at the last minute, we decided to go for it! And I'm so glad we did. It turned out to be a gorgeous evening, and we almost had the whole mansion area to ourselves during her session!
If you're wondering where Sofia's gorgeous pink dress is from... it's the "Emma Smocked Tulle Dress" from Baltic Born! Her red dress is from Abercrombie.
Congratulations to Sofia on her senior year!
Annelise is a graduating senior with the class of 2023! She graduated the week of her senior session from Woodlands High School. I kind of love that she opted to wait for her senior photos until the spring of her senior year! There are definitely benefits to having them done prior to your senior year or during your senior year, but it was such a fun way to celebrate the true end of her high school career with these photos!
Annelise is an accomplished actress at her school - she played Mayzie the Bird in her high school’s rendition of “Suessical” and even had the opportunity to perform in the Gene Kelly Awards (the area’s high school musical award competition).
For her outfits for her session, Annelise chose a pink patterned dress (as her first outfit) and white linen pants with a patterned top (as her second outfit). Both of her outfits complimented the Hartwood flowers and mansion perfectly! We opted to use a more natural/flowery setting for the dress outfit, and chose the mansion backdrop to compliment the visual structure of the second outfit. And with two amazing outfits - we were able to get tons of variety within her photos!
Congratulations on your senior year, Annelise! It was such a pleasure to take these photos for you!
Josh is graduating this Spring with the class of 2023!
He's a super smart guy who's planning on studying biomedical engineering after high school at Duquesne University. And as you can tell, he came dressed to impressed in a suit and one of his favorite bow ties!
Congratulations on your senior year, Josh, and thanks so much for letting us celebrate with you!
Annie’s mom came to me with a vision: vibrant, floral-focused images with thoughtfully chosen outfits. Originally, the plan was to shoot at Simmons Farm - but the week before Annie’s session, we found out that the farm had been mostly stripped of its zinnias and other colorful offerings! So, we went for our backup plan (always a favorite of mine!): Hartwood Acres!
Hartwood’s garden was looking so full of life for Annie’s session - and her mom even brought additional flowers for us to play around with! We had a beautiful arrangement for the basket of her vintage pink bike, and some others that we scattered on the ground for a different type of look!
I just cannot get over the colors in this session! Vibrant, bold, bright colors are always my favorite to photograph, so this senior session was truly a dream!
Congratulations on your senior year, Annie! It was such a joy to take these photos for you!!
