Life is short. Make it weird. And quirky. And fun. And have random dance parties in the grungey alleyways in Pittsburgh’s Strip District. And let me photograph it! Because Andje’s high school senior portrait session was the weirdest, quirkiest, most fun I’ve ever had while photographing high school senior portraits. When I photograph senior portraits, […]

“The prairie blows the grassesAnd whips the horse’s mane.They travel, horse and rider,Through the sea of amber grain.“–Ivy Schex Wow, just wait until you see the beautiful light I found with Abbey Lynn and her pony Cookie during our senior portrait session in Saxonburg, PA. This whole session was incredible! But what would you expect […]

This is the quintessential down-home, small-town USA senior portrait session I’ve done. And it’s one of my favorites to date. Meet Bre.She loves Converse, has the most perfect freckles, and she cannot keep a straight face. Truly. Joy simply beams out of her, and any attempt at the “serious look” resulted in a few cracks […]

Denny lucked out and had gorgeous evening light hitting an ivy-covered barn and the rolling green hills were the perfect backdrop for his baseball and golf props. Seriously, this location is the stuff that dreams […]

This guy. Let me tell ya. We tried to take some serious photos, we truly did. But the laughing ones are my favorites! And this location? So fun! Several years ago, my husband showed me this spot in Butler, PA and I’ve been dying to take senior portraits here with someone who has just the […]

If you were wondering who the heck was blasting Rihanna at North Park in the middle of the afternoon, it was me and Brenna! I had so much fun getting to know this sweet Pine Richland senior during her portrait session.  Brenna, you’re beautiful.

The grittiness.The coolness.The graffiti.The grunge.This session has it all.  It’s always an honor to photograph my friends and family, and having the opportunity to photograph my cousin Noah was no exception. Not only is he a great guy, but he has a great sense of style. When my cousin Shelley asked me to shoot his […]
