The first 48 hours of your baby’s life are a whirlwind of emotions—pure joy, overwhelming love, and exhaustion filled with immeasurable gratitude. You’ll want to hold onto these moments forever—the tiny fingers gripping yours, the soft wrinkled skin, the way their eyes open just enough to take in the world. Fresh 48 photography is all…

2020 felt like an impossible year for so many, myself included, in very unique ways. Speaking strictly from a business perspective – the only thing that got me through was client patience, understanding, and trust. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU ALL.

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….

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.

Two lists, one for each side of the work. The right one will find you. Early access to availability, occasional notes, and the things worth sharing before they go anywhere else.

Let's keep in touch!
