Oh Franco! I just loved meeting you! This lil man was so sweet for his 1st birthday pictures. I’m a big fan of baby boys wearing classic looks, and Franco looked precious in his seersucker and knee socks! I wish him all the kisses, hugs, and happiness as he turns one - it’ll be an exciting year for this big-brother-to-be!
Ellie is One! - First Birthday Session
This First Birthday Session rounds out a full year of capturing Ellie! Her family purchased the First Year Special, as they also did for their oldest daughter, and received three sessions; newborn, baby, and birthday, for the price of two! I’ve truly enjoyed working with the W family for the past 3 years. They have the sweetest daughters, and such a well-behaved dog! Ellie made us work hard for her smiles, but once we got them, it was so worth it! Check out that little bottom tooth!
Happy 1st Birthday, Sweet Girl!
Darcy & Andrew - Maternity Session
When looking for inspiration for her maternity session, Darcy need not look further than her own backyard. Her beautiful, rural property was popping with greens and purples, and her gorgeous gown matched just right. We incorporated the wildflowers for her formal look, and then switched it up for more casual poses in her adorable overalls. A perfect look for the setting! Baby-to-be is going to have so much fun adventuring in their backyard with Mom, Dad, and “big sis” Maisy at their side.
Omar is One! - First Birthday Family Session
It feels so good to be shooting outside again! We had a beautiful evening for Omar’s First Birthday Session featuring some family pictures, as well. Omar could not have been any cuter, and his big brother too! I love a set of adorable brothers. They absolutely nailed their session, and were a great start to the spring photography season!
Enzo is One! - First Birthday Session
I’ve been lucky to photograph this sweet lil’ leprechaun over the past year. Enzo always brings the smiles at his sessions, and his First Birthday session was no exception. He was so cute and happy, and truly enjoyed his smash cake at the end - smashing it with both his hands and tootsies! Even big brother got in on the fun!
Holden is One! - First Birthday Session
Look at those cute little chompers! I can’t believe this little man is one! I’ve enjoyed photographing him over the past year. For Holden’s First Birthday Session, we focused on some simple baby boy favorites; like his train, balloons, and his sweet backwards hat. Tiny details that are true to his personality, and perfectly commemorate this time in his childhood. You don’t necessarily need a lot of decorations and props to have adorable birthday pictures.
William - Newborn Session
Christmas may be over, but the sweetest gift is still under the tree. Precious William was born on December 27th to his parents and big sister Charlotte. After celebrating Christmas Day, his parents went to the hospital on the 26th, and welcomed their sweet boy a day later. William’s birth follows the loss of another baby boy, so his parents wanted to honor his big brother by including this special wooden sign in his session; handpicked for Earth by my brother in heaven. William is his family’s “rainbow baby,” a term used to describe a baby born after the parents have suffered a loss. The term is derived from the notion that after the storm, the skies will clear, the sun will come out, and there will be a rainbow. I have no doubts that William’s big brother will always be with him throughout life.
Leonardo Nicholas - Newborn Session
My sweet, new nephew Leo joined us earth side on November 29th. He was quite alert for his session, but did give us a few sleepy moments, and even a smile. He is so loved, and I’m thrilled to be his aunt and personal photographer. Welcome to the world, Leo!
Hadley is Six Months! - Baby Portrait Session
I had so much fun photographing Hadley for her six month session. She and her family looked great in their stylish outfits, and she brought loads of personality along with her high fashion! There must be a tooth on the way, because her sweet little tongue kept popping out! I also love the shots of her biting her lips. Such an absolute doll!
The B Family - Family Portrait Session
It was a pleasure to meet the B Family for their session back in October. We had pushed the session back many times because of weather, but got a perfectly warm Fall day to finally do the shoot. They were easy subjects to photograph, as the kids were filled with sweetness and personality, and the entire family just radiates love. I enjoyed capturing them in their element; playing on the trail which they frequently visit for family walks since moving to Pittsburgh.
Caleb is One! - First Birthday Session
Caleb was such a little trooper for his first birthday session. It was freezing, but after warming up with a little taste of cake, he was a happy guy! I have enjoyed watching him and his family grow!
Ellie is Six Months - Baby Session
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.
The K Family - Family Portrait Session
The K Family looked great for their session on a picture-perfect fall afternoon. They have an amazing property out in the beautiful countryside, so only had to walk out their door to find the perfect location. Baby Holden was a doll, and so happy!
The M Family - Family Mini Session
I was going to save this session for Christmas, but I just can’t wait to share these! Handsome Jack and his gorgeous mama looked perfect for their mini session highlighting both a holiday look, and a more casual Fall look. Jack’s personality is larger than life, and I so enjoyed capturing it!
The Y Family - Family Mini Session
It has been a pleasure documenting the growth of this sweet family. Their son Alek has so much personality, and reminds me so much of my own son with whom he is a classmate and friend! I love the soft, neutral color palette they chose for their outfits, as well. I always tell clients, sometimes there is no need for fancy clothes and bright colors, especially when there is so much love to showcase.
Gina & Nick - Maternity Session
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!
Mabel is One! - First Birthday Session
I first met Mabel when she was still in her mommy’s tummy. Over the past year of photographing her, she has become one of my favorite subjects! She ALWAYS brings the smiles, has the best outfits, and the most beautiful blue eyes. As the kids say, she understood the assignment. Happy 1st Birthday, Miss Mabel!
The B Family - Family Mini Session
Nothing like a Fall session on an 80 degree October evening. Global warming? It’s been crazy hot here in PA, but the heat finally broke on Sunday, and we’re now down to our normal seasonal 50’s and 60’s. Feels much more appropriate, as I’m already shooting some family sessions for Christmas cards!
The B Family didn’t let the heat bother them. They were troopers, especially sweet, little Adrian with his gorgeous eyes and shy smile.
Lochlan is One! - First Birthday Session
Lochlan was adorable for his 1st Birthday session in his beautiful backyard! Years ago, I photographed Lochlan’s brother in the same spot, so we were trying to recreate some of the same images, but being he is an October baby, we incorporated some pumpkins for this lil’ pumpkin too. I just love the way his red hair and blue eyes pop against the greenery of the natural background. And there is nothing cuter than a shirtless baby boy in suspenders!
Enzo is 6 Months! - Baby Session
This little meatball looked so cute in a spaghetti pot wearing his adorable newsboy cap and bowtie. He just melted my heart like mozzarella! I always enjoy photographing Enzo and his big brother Louie! Their parents are just so fun and kind, and the boys are obviously “bello”! Plus, I have a soft spot in my heart for little Italian boys, as I have two of my own at home!
