South Park Newborn Session
This newborn session was given as a shower gift by the mama’s cousin. What a thoughtful gift for an expecting mom?! And her baby girl was so very cooperative, that is was really a gift for all involved! She was completely content to curl up in her crib and did not fuss at the crocheted crown.
It’s completely natural for babies to fuss and I come expecting it, but this session was an absolute breeze.
I really love it when babies look up at their parents.
And the faces they make when mommies kiss them.
This session was just a few weeks before Christmas, so we did a few family portraits in front of the Christmas tree. It looks like someone’s getting sleepy!
Now she’s all ready for her nap! Good job, mom, dad, and baby girl! Congratulations on your little blessing!
Pittsburgh Senior Portrait
This high school senior is ready for take-off. I know him from church and I think it’s safe to say, our whole church family is proud of him. He’s a kind, gifted, and all-around likable guy, so it was fun to meet up for his senior portraits this past fall. We met at SteelGate Studio on the South Side.
I love this studio for it’s natural light (it’s also fully equipped with strobes and tons of gear for studio lighting) and ambiance.
This particular shot is in part of the building that is unfinished and it is a favorite location of mine, so I’m glad it was fitting for this senior session.
We also popped outside the studio for some shots around the Terminal Building—it’s got a great vibe with all of the industrial scenery and unexpected pops of color.
I really like this bright shirt he chose against the dark and rusty fire escape.
As a photographer, one of my chief aims is to capture clients looking their best, but something his mom said after seeing his photos really caught my attention. Her favorite shot of him is one where she said I really captured his personality, and not his smile-for-the-camera smile. Sweet! I’m not even sure I know which images she’s referring to, but I am affirmed in my goal to bring out genuine personality!
Pittsburgh Wedding: Twelve Oaks Mansion
It seems so long ago to think back on this gorgeous summer wedding, but it won’t be long until summer breezes are blowing though again and this couple can celebrate their first anniversary. We started our day with their first look in Cranberry Woods.
It was a bright, sunny, sweaty kind of day, so the woods offered some much needed shade. And while they may have felt uncomfortable all dressed up in the heat, don’t they look cozy?
It’s tough for a bride to walk through tall grass with scattered roots and twigs, so this groom was glad to sweep his bride up in his arms and carry her to our location for portraits.
How sweet it is to be in love!
I really like this sweet moment they shared during the first look. I asked them to forget that I was there, and I think they were successful!
The ceremony at Twelve Oaks Mansion was short and sweet.
After the ceremony, we went to the front entrance of the mansion and did the family portrait there in the lovely open shade. And I had to share this one. It was a request from one of the grandparents to get all of their grandchildren in one photo—what a great group of kids!
There is so much to share, but only so much time, so I’ll skip ahead to their first dance. What a warm and friendly crowd to celebrate with!
