Pittsburgh Family Lifestyle Photographer

The W Family at Home

When another photographer reaches out, asking you to photograph them with their baby girl at home, you (secretly) do mini cartwheels inside and say YES! I was SO honored to meet and photograph this really amazing family (click HERE to view their work). I think my favorite part about working with them was that I got to deliver a gallery with images, that they exist in, with their sweet baby, Carlene. So often photographers are missing from family memories and that sort of makes me sad.  The love that these parents have for their daughter and each other (and pup) is so worth documenting.

Together, they are laid back and a little silly – such a good combo! Carlene is in a super active stage and seriously just the cutest little thing.  Mom wanted to be sure to get some of the family cuddled up together and take advantage of their studio to shoot for some fun valentines shots. I could not ask for nicer people to work with and I’m really glad they trusted me to capture this fun time in their lives!
