I absolutely love this creative theme of a “Twinter Onederland” for Cameron and Natalie’s First! They will celebrate one year in December, and had a dazzling winter themed session in the studio with big sister Kendall too! It’s been a joy watching them grow up this year!
The D Family - Family Portrait Photography
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.
Quinn is Six Months! - Baby Photography
Oh little Miss Quinn, your smile melts me! You were so very sweet for your session. I told Quinn’s mama that I’d love to set Quinn up with my 4-month-old in 20 years, as I felt they had the same happy, sweet temperament. Quinn was an absolute pleasure and joy to photograph!
Charlotte is One! - First Birthday Photography
I loved photographing Charlotte as a newborn, six-month-old, and now a big girl! She was able to wear the same headband for all three of her sessions, which makes her photos so special and unique. Happy 1st Birthday, Charlotte!
Louie is One! - First Birthday Photography
Louie’s parents are both teachers, so it was no surprise to me when they came up with the creative First Birthday theme of “Chapter One.” I absolutely love it! I also love the fact that we were able to incorporate Louie’s stuffed wolf into his newborn, six month, and first birthday pictures - especially since Louie’s middle name is Wolfe! So many neat, little details about this shoot. Happy 1st Chapter, Louie! It’s been so fun documenting your first year!
Adelyn Lorinda - Newborn Photography
I just love the way I caught Baby Adelyn looking at her mother with wonder and admiration. It’s the same look on her grandmother’s face as she hugs her daughter and newest grandbaby. It’s always an honor to photograph multiple generations.
Evelyn is One! - First Birthday Photography
Sweet Evelyn is such a doll! She was the perfect subject for my first session in my new studio space! I love the simple pink, gray, and white color scheme that her mommy chose, and of course, that dress was perfect first birthday attire. Thanks for spending your morning with me, Evie - I hope you have a fun birthday!
Alastor is One! - Cranberry Twp. First Birthday Photography
When researching local photographers, Alastor’s mom said she was drawn to my woodsy logo and business name before even clicking on my website. Alastor’s parents love to hike and camp, so it’s only natural that his first birthday theme is “One Happy Camper". So cute - just like he is!
Happy 1st Birthday, Little Guy!
Cameron & Natalie - Cranberry Twp. Baby Photography
These two are just adorable!
The last time I saw them, they were newborns, and it was a few days after Christmas. Now here they are - 9 months and MOVING! They were so much fun to try to capture. Both were trying out their own means of transportation; Cameron crawling on all fours and Natalie army crawling with one arm tucked underneath. SO sweet! Both gave me super big, happy smiles!
Reece Juliet - Pine Twp. Newborn Photography
The newest Princess of Pine has arrived!
My niece, Reece Juliet, arrived on August 29th. Her mommy, daddy, and big sissy are all thrilled to have this sweet, new addition - as is the entire family! Reece has a head full of adorable, wispy, light-brown hair, and to everyone’s surprise, blue eyes! What are the chances that my sister and brother-in-law (who both have dark eyes and hair) would now have two daughters with gorgeous bright blue eyes!? She is a tiny little thing, and looks like a doll next to my son, her big cousin Dominic, who was born 2.5 months earlier.
We all love you, Reecey! Welcome to the family!
Dominic Joseph - Cranberry Twp. Newborn Photography
We welcomed our second son, Dominic Joseph, on June 11th, 2018 at 11:18 pm. Just like his big brother Vinny, once he decided to arrive, he came quickly! At around 4 pm I noticed my contractions were getting close together, and felt differently than the practice contractions I had been experiencing for months. After timing them and realizing they were anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes apart, I called my husband to come home from work so we could go to the hospital and at least get examined.
Once there, we were told I was 4 cm dilated, 90% effaced, and NOT going home. Within a few hours, I went from 4 to 7 to 10, and three pushes later, Dominic was born! He weighed 6 lbs., 11 oz. and was 18.5 inches long - coordinating perfectly with his birth date of 6.11.18 and birth time of 11:18.
To my pleasant surprise, big brother Vinny was so excited to have his baby brother come home. He has been excitedly talking a mile a minute for the past 2 weeks since Dominic's arrival, and my sleepy baby doesn't even flinch. He must have gotten used to all the noise and chaos while he was in the womb.
I finally got around to doing a newborn session for Dominic, while also being his mommy, food source, and keeping my 3 and a half-year-old at bay. Needless to say, the session took multiple attempts over 2 days, and I broke a sweat. Newborn sessions are always the most challenging sessions I do, but especially when I'm wearing both mommy and photographer hats. Thanks to my husband for acting as my "assistant" through the process.
I am enjoying taking the summer to myself to adjust to our family of four, but of course, can't wait to get back to photography in September! Please feel free to contact me over the summer to schedule your fall session!
Braxon is One! - Cranberry Twp. First Birthday Photography
Sweet, little Braxon was so adorable for his First Birthday Session! I first photographed him last summer when he was a little babe who couldn't yet sit up, now he won't sit still! It's so great to see these little ones time and time again growing up to be active and healthy. He was a total cutie for his pictures, and ended the session with a cupcake smash.
Happy 1st Birthday, Braxon!
Louie is 6 Months! - Cranberry Twp. Baby Photography
Happy Half to sweet little Louie! I last photographed him as a newborn, so it was great to see him return with his mommy and daddy (and his Wolfie) to celebrate his half birthday! He has grown so much, but one thing that continues to stay the same is his love for the camera. He was such a cute, happy guy!
Charlotte is 6 Months! - Cranberry Twp. Baby Session
I first met Miss Charlotte when she was a newborn in October. She was beautiful then, and just keeps getting sweeter with age! When she returned for her 6 Month session, we chose a shabby-chic Spring theme, and she even did some shots in the same swaddle and headband she wore during her Newborn Session!
Happy Half Birthday, Charlotte!
Ella Rose - Cranberry Twp. Newborn Photography
Baby Ella Rose is as sweet and delicate as her name, so a feminine, classic light pink session with lace seemed so appropriate. She was simply darling, and I so enjoyed meeting her after working with her parents for their maternity session. Welcome to the world, little lady!
Zachary Jordan - Cranberry Twp. Newborn Photography
Sweet Baby Zachary was so precious for his newborn session. Once he got comfortable and warm, he dozed peacefully, and snuggled with his comfy elephant.
Welcome to the world, Zachary!
Jameson is 6 Months! - Gibsonia Baby Photography
Sweet little Jameson is everything a 6-month-old should be; happy, chubby, and smiley! He was such a good boy when I visited his home for a session in his nursery. He was all smiles and laughs! I was sure to capture the adorable details of his 6-month-old self in his dimpled knuckles and squishy feet.
Happy Half Birthday, Jameson!
Louis Wolfe - Cranberry Twp. Newborn Photography
I'm always captivated by the stories behind baby names. I always ask the parents about the inspiration behind their mini's monikers, and Louis Wolfe's story is so special. His first name is after his great-grandfather, who was a strong influence on Louie's daddy, and his middle name is a reflection of his teacher parents love for literature. Put the two together, and you have this sleepy, smiley sweetheart - Louis Wolfe.
Charlotte Alice - Cranberry Twp. Newborn Photography
Baby Charlotte was so smiley and sweet at just 5 days old. After finally getting comfortable, she snuggled up and napped like an angel. It was so fun to photograph her beautiful features, and I can't wait to see her again in 6 months for her next session!
The M Family - Cranberry Twp. Family Photography
It finally feels like Fall with crunchy leaves on the ground and cool breezes in the air, so my requests for Family Portrait sessions are stacking up! I was so excited to capture this adorable family during their Family Mini Session last week. I loved the cool colors they chose for their session! I've known this momma literally since she was her son's age, so it was wonderful to see her again and meet her husband and sweet baby boy.
