It was a perfect day in Pittsburgh, PA for Mia's senior session with an urban feel!
Before Mia’s photoshoot, I had scouted the area and then we designed her looks, so I knew how the light was going to be at the particular location, and where she would be able to rock all her outfits! We had 3 outfits in mind for her senior photos. First was a cute black dress accented with blue-colored open-toed sandals, a denim jacket & hat (denim jacket & hat were provided from the AIP senior closet). I photographed Mia in Carnegie PA in front of a wall with vibrant murals and by a sidewalk lined with bright blue posts. By looking at her senior pictures, anyone would agree that she is such a natural beauty! She looked stunning in all, but my favorite one is of her in a black dress while holding her jacket.
The second outfit we had in mind for her session was a striped halter dress. As I had scouted the location before her shoot, I knew beforehand that the door frame I had in mind would perfectly compliment her dress. At first, we could not find it but when we did, it felt that the pastel green and blue door frame was painted just for her as she peeked out of the door frame.
For her last outfit, we chose a pastel pink dress so I could photograph the spring blooms and her in one frame. The flowers were the perfect addition to her pink dress (the flowers in her pictures were real and a few were brought by me as props).
Now that we have seen Mia's senior pictures, let me share a bit about her. Mia is a senior at South Fayette High School. She strives for excellence and is involved in many activities to make her school and community a better place. Mia is the President of Student Government at South Fayette. She has a passion for music and takes private voice lessons, and enjoys performing in her school musicals! Additionally, she loves science and is a mentor to younger students at the middle school. In the Fall of 2022, Mia plans to go to College for a five years Physicians Assistant program to receive her Bachelors and Masters degree. I am so excited for you & am pretty sure that you will do great things in life, Mia!
What I admire about Mia is that she is kind and believes in her ability to make a difference in her own life and the lives of the people around her. Mia has shared with me that, when she is able to bring a smile to someone's face, it warms her heart.
As we wrapped up our chat I asked Mia a few more questions:
What is important to you?
Mia said that she does not want to take the little things for granted since life will be different next school year, and she wants to cherish her present time with her family and friends.
Why did you get your senior pictures taken?
Mia expressed that she chose to get her senior pictures because she thinks senior pictures are a great way to wrap up her childhood and to look back & reflect for the years to come.
Do you think that other high school seniors should get their pictures taken as well? And, why?
Mia strongly believes that the senior pictures provide an experience to look back and see for yourself, how much you have grown as a person! And, they will help you cherish and re-live those beautiful memories of your senior year!
Mia, thank you for choosing me to be your senior photographer, and all the very best to you for your future life!
