BRAND NEW: BABY REAGAN (PITTSBURGH NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY)

It has been my absolute honor, photographing now two of their happiest, most important family times. I helped Leeann document the day they became man and wife, and just a few weeks back, I photographed them at home, with their brand new (greatest) blessing, baby Reagan. I remember their gorgeous wedding. It was one of those perfect days, and the two of them, so in love, were a dream to work with. Now they are parents, still completely in love, and so comfortable together in their new roles. They are perfect as mama and daddy. And their fur baby, Miss Abbey, is comfortable taking on the whole ‘big sister’ thing. Sharing the love is something she’s happy to do, as long as she gets some attention from visitors like me upon arrival!

Reagan’s session was amazing. She was a little angel for us, awake in a simple white onesie, and then asleep in a cozy swaddle. Her neutral, beautiful textures galore nursery is a 10. Her gender was kept secret (oh, how I love that!!) and her parents really nailed a design that would work for such a wonderful surprise!

Happiness and love are felt the moment you walk into their home.  It will be like that for many, many, many years to come… I know it!

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 is to simplify the photography experience so you can stay present in it, while I document it with intention and care.

You want images that reflect who you are, what you’ve built, and where you’re headed next.  I'm here for that.

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