Newborn Portraits: Two Seasons, One Album

March 2, 2021/by kmiller

Over the past two years, I photographed this beautiful, growing family at newborn portrait sessions for both of their sons. Two weeks ago, I shared that being a mom and photographing my own family has enriched my ability as a newborn and family photographer. Thanks to the help of my two sons, who keep me on my toes, I am able to remain calm and focused when babies and kids have a lot of energy. Capturing photographs of an active toddler and newborn requires experience and the foresight ability to make quick changes when needed.

Pittsburgh Newborn Photography: Natural Light at Home

February 18, 2021/by kmiller

Capturing this sweet, growing family at a newborn session during the holidays this past year was truly a gift. The new parents chose their stylish home as the location for their newborn session, an ideal setting for the comfort and ease of the new baby and parents. Mom and Dad shared that they also had their engagement photos taken at home and hope to plan future sessions there to capture their family in the years to come.

Pittsburgh Newborn Photography – Letting Our Pets Join in on the Fun

This sweet newborn session was done right at home. I love being able to get some pictures of a newborn in their crib, and mom in her element looking down at her new bundle of joy. But as families grow, we cannot forget our furry friends who also welcomed a new little bundle of joy into his home.

Those first few weeks and months after having a baby are wonderfully messy. Extra snuggles and late night feedings take a front row seat to everything else. In this season of life, newborn sessions can be daunting. A studio newborn session can provide a stress-free option for your family.

Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer: Staying Warm During Cozy In-Home Sessions

January 23, 2019/by kmiller

Looking back on this newborn session from August, I’m recalling a lesson learned that seems very apt for this cold snowy day.

hello baby!

This tiny sweetheart was having a rough day. She was fussy, though I don’t think you’d know it from these photos, but I could tell this mama was feeling defeated because her baby girl just wasn’t feeling it.

The session went long because we were trying everything. Toward the end of the session, I suggested going outside because I thought she’d like the fresh air and a change of atmosphere and we ended up discovering that this baby girl was probably cold! Immediately, she settled and went right to sleep. Even though her home was a comfortable temperature inside on this hot, summer day, with the outfit changes and bare skin, baby girl was cold!
