This darling young couple came to me for some 1st anniversary portraits in Pittsburgh.  We decided on Point State Park, which is a much-used portrait location for good reason!  The views are incredible and it has a vast, beautiful backdrops surrounding the park.  I have shot families here many times!

Since we had no kiddos with us, we were able to stay out after dark and experiment with some lighting.  I absolutely love working with Speedlites and I do not usually get the opportunity to use them outdoors at night–usually just inside during my family and newborn sessions.  SO fun!

While we waited for the lights to turn on at the Clemente/10th Street Bridge, we popped into the Renaissance Hotel Pittsburgh for a few moody lobby shots.  So many of these turned out well but this is my favorite:

Thanks Strohmeyer family for working with me, and happy 1st anniversary!
