Pittsburgh Senior Portraits | Isaiah 2012

December 7th, 2011

Isaiah came with one outfit and knowing exactly what he wanted his yearbook picture to look like… love that. Especially when the one outfit is a James Bond-esque suit and the idea involves the best fall landscape we could find. I’m not one to argue with style.

Isaiah came with one outfit and knowing exactly what he wanted his yearbook picture to look like… love that. Especially when the one outfit is a James Bond-esque suit and the idea involves the best fall landscape we could find. I’m not one to argue with style.

I love shooting senior portraits in the fall, especially if it means hiking through the woods in order to best take advantage of the leaves… and climbing on top of bridges… and over waterfalls… well. We wanted to make sure we got interesting shots, and I think we lived up to that!

Congrats Isaiah, best of luck for the rest of your year!

Engagement Portraits at Hartwood Acres | Alisa + Luke

June 23rd, 2011

Here’s a fantastic engagement portrait set that I’ve been holding onto for a little bit… Alisa and Luke!  Luke works outdoors, so they knew right away that they wanted to do it at a local park, and we ended up choosing Hartwood Acres. Interestingly enough, I got to pose them with some of the specific [...]

 

Here’s a fantastic engagement portrait set that I’ve been holding onto for a little bit… Alisa and Luke!  Luke works outdoors, so they knew right away that they wanted to do it at a local park, and we ended up choosing Hartwood Acres. Interestingly enough, I got to pose them with some of the specific trees that Luke has worked on before- I thought that was pretty cool!

Alisa & Luke are such an adorable couple, and so easy to photograph. They’re such a good example of how you don’t have to know how to model or even what do in front of a camera… you just have to be comfortable.  They have this great little look they give each other, this private, happy smile, and there aren’t even words for it. Just adorable.  I’m really looking forward to their wedding this fall!

Senior Portraits | Ian

May 18th, 2011

So my little brother Ian is graduating this year! Although I guess I probably shouldn’t call him that any more- he’s about a foot taller than I am, and most people don’t figure that he’s younger than me. To say that we were going for nontraditional senior portraits might be putting it mildly. As for [...]

 

So my little brother Ian is graduating this year! Although I guess I probably shouldn’t call him that any more- he’s about a foot taller than I am, and most people don’t figure that he’s younger than me.

To say that we were going for nontraditional senior portraits might be putting it mildly. As for the accordion? He’ll tell you it’s my fault, but I don’t know. I may or may not have been responsible for setting him up with an amazing accordion teacher one day. But it’s absolutely not my fault that he took like two classes and and wound being stupidly good at it. That accordion actually has a history to it- it was my great-grandfather’s, who played it at my parent’s wedding; Ian worked at it & played it at my brother’s wedding last year. Good stuff. And everyone knows that the accordion is the sexiest instrument alive, anyways.
