BABY S – CASUAL + NATURAL NEWBORN PHOTOS AT HOME (PITTSBURGH NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY)

Newborns

Their family grew by one sweet, brand new baby girl last Fall and I was so honored to photograph that time for them (especially since their maternity session was so much fun)! Her dark hair, sweet little nose and ten tiny toes were so incredibly perfect. She was a dream to photograph, that’s for sure. When I arrived, her mama was ready. A soft pink-gray nursery and coordinated swaddle and bow combos to go with, and tons of snuggles….. heaven for me!!

After paying attention to the older sibling (something that I always, always do), we let our time together flow naturally around feedings, shots of mom and dad with the new bundle, the whole family, siblings, etc… The flow was casual and just made sense. Documenting their ‘right now’ – that was easy and the end result was beautiful.

Some forever memories right here… scroll and enjoy <3

let's get to know 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.
