Melissa Lucci | Pittsburgh Family Photographer

The L Family

This family is full of faith, love, and so much laughter. It is all felt the moment that you walk through the doors of their home. Actually, it’s felt when you hear this mama talk about her children and describe their world. I send a pre-session questionnaire before working with all of my families. I believe this to be an important step in our process for a couple of reasons. It allows parents to really sit back and think about their family life and children. It pulls out what is important, meaningful, and in need of documentation. It helps me get to know the family and understand what it most important to them. And after reading the responses this mama provided… I couldn’t wait to photograph them.

We chose to begin shooting in their home – where all that love lives. Afterwards, we headed to one of the many parks that they frequent together. The entire session was filled with meaning and it’s why I love what we got. So some rain ended things a little sooner than we would have hoped, but it didn’t take long to capture how much this crew cares for each other.

Where your story is turned into something you can come back to. Photography for the life you’re living and the legacy you’re building.

Life moves faster than we expect. Seasons shift, kids grow, businesses evolve.

My role, on either side of the work, is to handle what gets in the way so you can stay present in your own life. Photography that documents what matters. Systems that protect the time and energy behind it.

You want images that reflect who you are, what you’ve built, and where you’re headed next.  That's the work.

Hi, I'm Melissa.

Maternity sessions, for me, are a celebration of your incredible journey, and the overflowing love you already feel for the little human you're about to meet.

The early days with your newborn are like nothing else. We’ll capture all the precious moments that make the sleepless nights and diaper changes all worth it.

Your family, senior, and portrait photographer in Pittsburgh, PA for every season.

Good stories are worth telling.

Documenting and celebrating, before that next big chapter begins. Senior sessions focus on natural and effortless 'posing' to create confident imagery!

Say goodbye to unnatural photoshoots. I use a child-led approach to guarantee a fun, stress-free experience. Roll with it and we'll make magic.

Your non-profit is making the world a better place, one event or community outing at a time. I'm here to document that so you can tell the world about the impact!

Approachability matters and everyone needs a solid headshot! Your small business or personal brand should have images that speak to what you have to offer.

I'm a mama!

The journey of motherhood is filled with fleeting moments waiting to be treasured. From tips on capturing your little ones' everyday joy to thoughtfully designed presets, my resources are crafted with love for every mama capturing every moment.
