While I love photographing sessions in my Cranberry Photo Studio, I enjoy on-location sessions as well and these are some of my favorite go-tos!
Beautiful park east of Pittsburgh, walled gardens, flowers, a fountain! Also buzzing with photoshoots!

Please read note at the bottom of this text: This beautiful mansion has a stone terrace and is lovely from every side. A popular photoshoot destination! Please note: I will only schedule sessions here on Mondays through Thursdays. Or very early Saturday mornings. You can't get close to the mansion when they're hosting a wedding and this place is booked solid.
