Daniel R: North Shore Senior Photographer

I couldn't have picked a more perfect day for Daniel's senior portraits, taken on the North Shore. The sun was shining, the weather was not-too-hot, not-too-cold, and there were barely any crowds around the area - surprising, for such a beautiful November day!

As a side note, I love when high school senior guys take an interest in their senior portraits. It's so much fun to work together to create dynamic images that showcase interests, likes, and personality. For instance, Daniel has a love for the city, so of course, we decided to take his photos in an urban setting that showcased Pittsburgh's iconic yellow bridges and skyline. Daniel is also a member of his high school's lacrosse varsity team and has played sports for the majority of his life, so incorporating in the different sport-themed backgrounds dotting the North Shore really helped enhance the overall look of his images.

Thanks for a great session, Daniel! I had so much fun creating these images with you. Congratulations on your last year of school!

Janelle G: Hartwood Acres Senior Photographer

What a pleasure it was to take this sweet girl's senior photos! We were able to hit the beautiful fall color during the peek of fall at Hartwood Acres Mansion. Janelle had her hair and makeup done for her session by the talented Kaylin Simonic. Ladies - I highly recommend taking some time to pamper yourself before your session! Whether it's getting your nails, hair, or makeup done, going out for dinner or ice cream after your session, or treating yourself to a new outfit (or two ;) ), make your session fun and unique by making a day of out it and treating yourself! It makes the day just a little bit sweeter.

And without further ado - here are a few of my favorite photos from the beautiful Janelle's session! Congratulations on your last year of school, lady!

Ryan Hyland: North Park Senior Photographer

I met Ryan early on a Friday morning (on a day he didn't have school) to take his senior photos. It was the perfect morning for a photo session, and we were even able to incorporate his love of soccer into his shoot! You might remember his sister, Kathleen, and her senior photo session from last year. Thanks for an awesome shoot, Ryan, and congratulations on your senior year!

Sarah F: Moraine State Park Senior Photographer

Sarah is a senior at Seneca Valley High School, and she's graduating as a part of the class of 2017! During her shoot, I found out she's thinking about studying Graphic Design - which is exactly what I went to school for (and is my part-time day-time job)! We had a great time walking around Moraine State Park while the leaves were at their peek colors. Congrats on your last year of school, Sarah, you are beautiful inside and out!

Megan C: Phipp's Conservatory Senior Photographer

Megan was an absolutely joy to photograph! We had so much fun walking around Phipp's Conservatory mid-October taking her senior photos. I've known Megan for quite a few years through our church, Grace Community Church, and photographed her brother's senior photos almost three years ago! Time really does fly. You're beautiful from the inside out, Megan! 

Joey D: McConnell's Mill Senior Photographer

Joey is a hockey player from Pine Richland who's graduating in the spring of 2017. We had an awesome time hanging out with him and his mom at McConnell's Mill a few weeks ago!

Andrew T: Harmony Senior Photographer

It's hard to believe Andrew is now a senior - I babysit him and his brother when I was in high school! Congratulations on your last year of school, Andrew! Also - take note of his killer style (see Darth Vadar patterned shirt below!)

Maya R: Hartwood Acres Senior Photographer

On our drive up to Maya's photo session, it POURED. Like, the entire way, massive amounts of rain. But as soon as we stepped out of the car to shoot, the most gorgeous light appeared! We had so much fun hanging out with her, her family, and her boyfriend during her session! Congratulations on your last year of school, Maya!

Lauren P: Hartwood Acres Senior Photographer

We had the most beautiful day for Lauren's senior photos! Congratulations on your last year of school, Lauren!

Lindsey B: Phipp's Conservatory Senior Photographer

Lindsey's family lived across the street from mine for quite a few years growing up - it's so hard to believe that she's finally a senior! Lindsey has always had a sweet, light spirit, which made her so easy to photograph for her senior session! We spent a beautiful Sunday evening at all of the best spots surrounding Phipp's Conservatory in Oakland. It was so hard to pick just a few favorites for this blog post, because Lindsey looks stunning in every single photo! You are lovely from the inside out, Lindsey - it was such an honor to take your photos!
