This is ONE cool dude. I was so excited to meet Eli and his family for this gnarly session at North Park. From the straight brim hat to the micro Vans, this guy was decked out in skater style, ending his session in the cutest checkered suspenders for his cake smash. He was so squishy and adorable!
Happy 1st Birthday, Eli!
The Force is strong with this ONE.
I adore a good theme, and bonus points if Mommy and Daddy bring props! Atticus’ parents are big fans of Star Wars, as are their little guys, so bringing along some of their favorite toys was an easy way to enhance the photos, as well as keep Atticus engaged. In addition to this, his SUPER TALENTED mom made these costumes especially for the session. The most amazing part? They’re no-sew! She fashioned these masterpieces using only hot glue. Amazing!
Happy 1st Birthday, Atticus!
Ellie was a fashionista for her baby session, with a few holiday shots thrown in! She was so sweet, and reminded me of her sister who I photographed at the same age. We even did the same shot in the Santa bag that we did with her big sis.
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new pumpkin in my family. My sister-in-law Gina is due on Thanksgiving! This will be the 5th grandson on my husband’s side of the family. We are all very excited to welcome this new, little train engineer, and complete the cousin basketball team!
Though they may be my most high-maintenance clients ;), my nieces never disappoint when it comes to a photo shoot. We found a cozy little nook by the boathouse in North Park to snap some pictures while the sun cast a golden glow on their golden locks. Armed with bubbles and patience, these little sweeties could not have been cuter for their Aunt C.
I truly enjoyed photographing “KK” for her senior pictures. She shared with me her plans to become a nurse, and even in the brief amount of time I spent with her, I could tell she possesses the qualities to succeed in that field, as she came across as sweet, caring, and patient. Such a lovely girl to photograph on one of the last warm days of the fall.
She was sure to incorporate some meaningful pieces in her images. A necklace given to her by her grandma, who has been her rock, and rose embroidery, which is her favorite flower. Such special touches.
Best of luck to you in all your endeavors, KK!
The P Family chose to have their session at North Park because of all the family memories they’ve made there. Their mama requested some up-close, natural portraits of each child, which is my favorite style to do! A great way to fill the walls of their home with the sweet details of their children’s faces at this most precious time in their lives.
This sweet little guy was constantly on the move, but it was worth the chase to capture his smiles! What a sweet boy Nicholas is! These pictures come just ahead of his 2nd birthday.
I offer mini-sessions year-round. They are exactly half of a full session in time, edited images, and price, so they are a great option for families with toddlers who, let’s face it, just can’t hang for a full hour-long session. I get it - I’m in that stage of life too! If you have questions, check out the Pricing page on the website for more info, or reach out!
It was my honor to take the first portraits of this family since adopting their son Alek six months ago. It was obvious that Alek has already connected with his parents and looks to them for love and security. They had him laughing with silly lines from Toy Story and Boss Baby, and it was clear that they have already formed a family bond. What an amazing smile this boy has!
Alek was adopted internationally from Bulgaria, so not only is he adapting to his family, but also a new language and country. He is doing great, and so are his parents! May God continue to bless and guide them on this journey.
It was such a gorgeous evening to capture this beautiful family! With temps in the low 70s, no humidity, and a beautiful sunset upon us, we could not have asked for better weather. Their sweet little guy was feeling under the weather, but you’d never know it! He powered through with his piercing blue eyes, and smiles courtesy of his grandparents.
I have been photographing this family for almost 3 years, since their first maternity session with their sweet daughter Lupita! They always bring the most unique, coordinated outfits, and I was so happy to see they did not disappoint with this session either! These stunning outfits are from Mama Alin’s homeland of Mexico. I absolutely love the vibrant colors, and the traditional touch…she looks gorgeous!
For location, we chose the North Park Boathouse, which I also learned is where this Mommy and Daddy had one of their first dates! What a perfect nod to their family story. We were also blessed with perfect weather, as the setting sun provided the perfect golden glow around this already glowing mommy.
This family was absolutely lovely to meet and photograph. They’re new to Pittsburgh, so I was happy and honored to take their first family photos in their new city. Their sweet baby girl was so adorable in her sundress! It’s always fun to meet new clients from all over the country (and sometimes world), and capture a stage in their life, and hear a bit of their story.
Skylar is just the cutest! She was so smiley and content with her little leaf. It’s so cute to watch babies marvel at the simplest things as they see our world for the first time. She played sweetly enjoying her first Fall. I hope her parents can cherish these pictures forever.
