Morgan is one of the sweetest seniors I've had the privilege to photograph, and as a more personal touch, she lives with her family in the neighborhood I grew up in! We absolutely loved hanging out with her and her mom for her Historic Harmony senior session - congratulations on your last year of school, Morgan! You are the sweetest!

I can't believe this is my very last Hartwood Acres session of the year! We had an absolutely gorgeous November day for Megan's senior photos - it didn't feel like November at all...
I have to give Morgan MAJOR props. The morning of her session, it was just about 16 degrees outside. To be honest, if it was me, I probably wouldn't have been able to be out in the cold that long, but Morgan was such a trooper!! Not only did she rock her chilly session, but she did so with a smile the entire time! Lucky for us, the restrooms at Hartwood were toasty during her session - so we took a couple of close up headshot style photos in there while Morgan was warming up - haha!! That is definitely one of my all-time favorite senior photo memories! (Also, the last photo in this blog post is from our bathroom break! ;) ) Thank you so much for being such a trooper, Morgan! You are a champ - congratulations on your last year of school!
Sharon was a champ at her senior session in the cold! This girl brought her A-game (and the most beautifully colored outfits) to her session just a few weeks ago! We were even able to catch some gorgeous golden light right near the end of her session. This girl was an absolute blast to work with, and I'm so excited to share some of my favorites from her session with you today!
Sara's senior session took place on one of the most beautiful fall days we had this year! And, lucky for us, the view at the Pittsburgh Field Club highlighted all of those changing fall colors PERFECTLY! I photographed one of Sara's best friends, Conner, earlier this year at Hartwood Acres and was honored when she asked me to take her senior photos, too! We had so much fun checking out all of the beautiful little spots for photos at the Field Club, and let me say - this girl's style is on point! Congratulations on your last year of school, Sara!! :)
There are SO many things to love about Carli! I've known Carli for quite a few years through Grace Community Church, and I was so honored when she reached out to see if I would take her senior photos!! As you will be able to see from her photos, Carli is a kind, sweet soul who radiates joy wherever she goes! She truly loves those around her, and is just a joy to be around.
Carli incorporated her violin into her fall session (her favorite season!) to add a little personal touch to her photos. We absolutely LOVED taking these for you, Carli! Thank you so much for the incredible honor!
I feel like we experienced all of the seasons Pittsburgh has to offer during Emily's portrait session at Hartwood Acres Mansion! When we first arrived, it was a little bit gloomy and overcast - about 20 minutes into the session, the gloominess turned into a windstorm, then a rain storm (I swear I saw snow at one point!!), complete with a double rainbow, and then all of a sudden, the sun came out and we had some absolutely gorgeous light for about ten minutes - just enough time to get some killer shots! All of that in less than an hour and a half. Pittsburgh never ceases to amaze me!
Emily is drop dead gorgeous, as you probably can already tell from the banner image for her featured blog post!! She's also a pro in front of the camera and has the sweetest family (her brother and mom came along for her session!). I had so much fun taking these for you, Emily! Congratulations on your last year of school!
Kaylee hopped out of her family's car at Hartwood, and before I knew she was the senior I would be photographing, I thought to myself "I love that girl's dress! She's gorgeous!" Hartwood was SUPER busy that day with photo sessions, but much to my joy, the girl in the dress was my senior for the evening!
This history-buff loves old architecture, which made Hartwood Acres Mansion the perfect fit for her senior session! She also loves to read, so she brought a few of her favorite books for us to incorporate into her session. Congratulations on your last year of school, Kaylee!!
Oakmont Country Club was the perfect backdrop for Justin's senior photos - especially being a golfer himself! The club is known as the "oldest top-ranked golf course in the United States," and was established in 1903. With lots of charm and classic decor, Oakmont provided ample opportunity for unique imagery - and Justin was a pro in front of the camera! Congratulations on your last year of school, Justin!
I loved having the opportunity to take Hannah's senior portraits at Hartwood Acres just a few short weeks ago! Hannah is a senior at Eden Christian Academy (where I am an alum!) and just has the sweetest personality (and of course, the most beautiful hair!). Congratulations on your last year of high school, Hannah! :)
