A Stylish Senior Session: Brenna at Phipps & Pitt Campus
Updated: Jul 14, 2025
Brenna and I have been working together since her freshman year, and it’s been such a joy to capture her growth and milestones each year. For her senior session, she chose two iconic Pittsburgh backdrops: the lush gardens of Phipps Conservatory and the historic charm of the University of Pittsburgh’s Oakland campus.

📍 Location 1 – Phipps Conservatory Gardens
We started at Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Gardens—close to downtown Pittsburgh, known for its formal French and estate-style gardens. In the flowering pathways, Brenna wore a short, flowy white dress. The soft blooms and greens in the backdrop paired perfectly with the light, breezy fabric—capturing her bright, natural beauty.
📍 Location 2 – Pitt Campus, Oakland
Next, we headed to Pitt’s historic campus in Oakland, lined with iconic neo‑Gothic buildings and sweeping green lawns . Brenna brought her rugby uniform, celebrating one of her proudest accomplishments. It was a powerful and authentic moment—showcasing strength and dedication against the backdrop of collegiate architecture.
👚 Outfit 3 – Casual Summer Cool
After the uniform shoot, Brenna switched into a laid-back jeans-and-white-purple-plaid-top combo. It was comfy, stylish, and perfect for candid laughs and strolling along the campus’s walkways. The casual vibe really let her personality shine through.
🖤 Outfit 4 – Bold & School-Spirited
To close the session with a bold statement, Brenna slipped into a sleek black jumpsuit paired with red heels—matching her Moon high school colors. The look popped against the stone and brick of the campus, offering a polished, confident finish to her senior portraits.
✨ What Made This Session Special
Multi-location session: From lush garden blooms to collegiate architecture, Brenna got a variety of stunning backdrops in one day.
Outfit variety: Flowing, commemorative, casual, and bold looks displayed different facets of her style, mood, and milestones.
Authentic storytelling: Including her rugby uniform and sister’s presence (optional) added meaningful layers that made the session uniquely hers.
