Senior portrait sessions can sometimes be like a surprise party… If I’ve been planning the session with the parent, I have an *idea* of who the senior is but I never see the full picture (see what I did there?) until I get to meet them in person. It’s an exciting part of my job that keeps my on my toes!
Mellon Park is one of my favorite spots for photos in Pittsburgh. There are a ton of nooks and crannies and they all have so much character. Plus, the light there is phenomenal! All that the say, I was stoked about Abby’s senior session. And then I actually met Abby…
The day of Anna’s session came with a couple of curve balls… Despite all of our planning and a steady eye on the weather forecast, we had spots of rain and dark clouds. We also had to work around an annual art festival and the crowds that came along with it. Looking at Anna’s photos though you would never be able to tell! She lights up every single one of her photos with style and grace!

Another GORGEOUS senior on another gorgeous evening!! I seriously cannot take it. Nicole was such a blast to photograph – she chose Mellon Park in Pittsburgh, PA for her senior session and she had the perfect outfits to match the surroundings! The simple and sweet outfits which made her eyes and smile shine! The night we chose was perfect, not too hot and not too cold, it felt like Summer was saying goodbye before the Autumn weather settled in.
Have a wonderful senior year, Nicole!!
May you have auspiciousness and causes of success
May you have the confidence to always do your best
May you take no effort in your being generous
Sharing what you can, nothing more, nothing less
May you know the meaning of the word happiness
May you always lead from the beating in your chest
May you be treated like an esteemed guest
May you get to rest, may you catch your breath

Julia chose two gorgeous locations for her Pittsburgh senior session – Frick Park and Mellon Park! Her and her family have long enjoyed going to The Frick together which made it a fun and sentimental choice. With Mellon Park right down the street we decided to use it as our second location and I’m so glad we did! The stone walls and lush greens paired well with all of the spots we found at The Frick.
Julia was such a blast to photograph and such a natural! I can’t get over how photogenic she is and how comfortable she was in front of the camera. She’s such a smart and sweet person – I know she’s going to rock her senior year and everything else that life holds for her after graduation!
