Mother and Son Session at North Park

Sometimes we don’t need a special occasion to prompt a photo shoot; capturing the relationship of this sweet mother and her son at North Park on a beautiful fall day is just as special as any occasion.

2nd Birthday and Family Portraits – and Some Fun Outtakes!

We started with this session celebrating an upcoming 2nd birthday on a lovely morning in Cranberry.  It was a bit cold for this little sweetie, so after about 30 minutes, we headed to the studio and most of my favorites from this session took place there!  But for now, here’s a family portrait from one of my favorite Cranberry locations.

At-Home Baby Sitter Session

This family waited to capture their baby at 8-months old with a sitter session in and around their home.  The first year of a baby’s life has so many wonderful milestones, rolling, sitting, crawling, eating, talking, and walking.  Sometimes some of these things happen after the first year.  It’s not so much about when it happens, but celebrating the growth when it does happen!  And this baby girl was just beginning to sit up independently for a few seconds.  Her parent were so thrilled to see her figuring out this new and exciting thing!  Just look at that face—so proud!

Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer: Studio Session

Staying at home for your newborn session is nice, but going to a natural light studio that is outfitted with all of the comforts of home might be better.  This Pittsburgh mom and dad thought so and as a photographer I whole-heartedly agree.  They even brought their dog to be included in some of the photos!

Pajama Photos to Benefit Toys for Pittsburgh Tikes

On December 3rd, we’re doing a fundraiser pajama-themed photoshoot to benefit Toys for Pittsburgh Tikes.  This non-profit organization provides Christmas presents for less fortunate children throughout Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas.  Last year, they collected over 200,000 toys and raised $50,000.  For a $125 donation directly to Toys for Pittsburgh Tikes, families can reserve a 30-minute photoshoot and receive a set of 25 custom holiday cards.  The shoot is pajama-themed, and kids are welcome to pose and jump on the bed, and have a short pillow fight, followed by a blast of feathers.  It will be fun and all documented for you to cherish and share on your holiday cards.
