Tonya and Kelton’s Oakland engagement session

I hope everybody’s having a wonderful holiday season!!!! I know I’m enjoying the cookies, the presents, and the sleeping in. I could get used to this! 😀

In the mean time, I’m excited to share some of my favorites from Tonya and Kelton’s photoshoot. We met up at Pittsburgh’s Mellon Building on a brisk day this winter for their engagement photos… and they brought along their adorable little dog Peanut for some pictures, too.

Enjoy!

We started off at the Mellon Building. It was a bit dirty on one side, so we just avoided that side. 🙂 These guys warmed up pretty quickly!

I love this next shot of Kelton. As you know, I am a huge black and white fan, so I converted this one to b/w also for your pleasure 😀

It was late afternoon so we had some gorgeous sunset light to play with…

…which of course also meant we could create some beautiful silhouettes!

Peanut was so excited to join us, we could barely keep him still for some pics! Still we ended up with some great shots; here’s one of my favorite close-ups.

I love this next one- Peanut peering back at Tonya and Kelton, sneaking in on a private moment. Just like kids! Ha!

Since autumn had passed and with it most of the leaves on the trees, we were pretty excited to find this beautiful red backdrop out near Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning. Love it!

This next shot is one of my favorites from the session- Tonya will be such a gorgeous bride!

Of course we had to use some of the tall weeds scattered around the Cathedral… if only we’d realized that the ground was a bit damp before heading in! 😉

Love the look Tonya’s giving in this next one. Totally playing it up for the camera! Haha!

And of course Kelton had to show off for the camera, too…

Before wrapping up, we hit a pretty church on 5th Avenue for a couple of photos…
