pittsburgh senior photographer
Jayden is a senior in Pittsburgh who plays the bass and is an incredible artist! It only made sense that the Color Park be the backdrop for his senior session. I've always wanted to have a session here! When Jayden told me he would be bringing his bass and wanted some night shots, I knew it was going to be a great shoot.
Congrats on your senior year, Jayden!
Meet Ben!
Ben is a senior at Mars High School who plays basketball - his session in Historic Harmony was a great one! Great light, great location with lots of backdrops to work with - and lots of fun! I photographed his sister a few years ago in Harmony for her senior portraits, and it was so fun to be back working with such a great family!
Congrats on your senior year, Ben!
Meet Jillian!
Jillian is a Chartier's Valley senior who plans to study Psychology post graduation! She's a lover of Italian food (specifically chicken parm) and of all things sweet... especially chocolate!
All of her (beautiful) outfits are from Altar'd State, and she brought a colorful bouquet of flowers with her to incorporate throughout her photos.. which I just love!
Congratulations on your upcoming senior year, Jillian! Thank you for letting us be a part of such a sweet time in your life.
And a huge thank you to my assistant (and friend) Dani for assisting and being the best outfit fixer! If you've had a senior session with me this year, you know how helpful and encouraging she is. Thanks for all your help, Dani!
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 Vivian!
Vivian is a super sweet rising senior at Upper Saint Clair! She is a cheerleader who hopes to pursue teaching post high-school. We squeezed most of her session in last night before a torrential downpour - and we got rained out towards the very end! Thankfully, we were able to reschedule part 2 of her session the following week, when there was more sunshine! ❤️
Vivian, you are a gem! Thanks for braving the wind and the rain!
Derek is a senior at South Park High School who plays hockey, soccer, and plans to study business post high school! Last night was the perfect summer night for his senior photos - congratulations on your senior year, Derek!
Neely is a 2025 graduate who plays hockey and lacrosse - and loves ice cream! Her senior session took place in town around Zelienople - an underrated location for photos, in my opinion!
Neely brought three gorgeous, colorful outfits that really helped her pop off the background of her photos. And we even found some beautiful summer light - behind a BP gas station, of all places!
Neely, you were a joy to photograph - congrats on your senior year!
Meet Gabby!
Gabby is a senior at Canon-Mcmillan who traveled all the way up to Hartwood Acres Mansion for her senior photos last night!
We were originally scheduled to take her photos a few days prior, but due to some unpredictable rain & storms that day, we postponed to later in the week. And honestly... I'm so glad we did! We ended up having the most beautiful spring day for her photos around the mansion - so many trees were in bloom!
There was also a little surprise that took place during Gabby's session, unbeknownst to her... scroll through to see what happened!
Congratulations on your senior year, Gabby!
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!
Meet Nina - a senior graduating from North Allegheny with the class of 2024! 🎉
Nina was a treat to photograph at the end of April at Moraine State Park on one of the most beautiful spring evenings!
When we had chatted before her session, she requested 1) a field, and 2) sunlight in the background of her photos. Sometimes those two things can be tough to find in Pittsburgh in April (especially the sunlight 😉)... but we were able to make both of those requests happen (truly by God's provision!).
Besides a field and sun, we found some lovely pink blossoms. And of course, we had to use the area near the water. We had a gorgeous golden hour that really made those photos pop!
Isn't she just so stunning?! She made my job so easy!
I also want to give a big thank you and shout out to Dani, who was my assistant/reflector holder for this session. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
