SWADDLED NEWBORN WITH PACI

THE NEW ‘A FAMILY’ (PITTSBURGH MATERNITY AND NEWBORN FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY)

Life changes… fast. That is an absolute certainty. Nine months may feel like a long time, but it goes by in the blink of an eye. Change happens to a mother’s body, sure, but the family dynamic is where the lasting change happens.

* **In no way am I making light of what happens to a warrior mama’s body during pregnancy but the bulk of our changes come and go… aside from beautiful stretch mark reminders that you grew life and the ability to jump on a trampoline without peeing your pants a little… those are more permanent.***

It was just the two of you once. Remember that? Look back at all of those pre-baby photos and selfies of a younger you. Now you’re in a season where you’re expecting your first, second, third, etc. little one and BIG change is coming for you. Nine months may feel like a long time to soak it all in before your newborn arrives, but I promise he/she will come faster that you think. Appreciating the life and family that you have before that day comes is important and it’s why I adore the packages I’ve built to help first time and veteran parents document their family BEFORE and AFTER.

Scroll on to see what a family maternity session and in home newborn session can look like. Every family is different in every season. All of those stages are beautiful and personal.

Sending many thanks to this amazing gang for always trusting me to be ‘one of the family’ while I naturally document all of their amazing love along the way.

No added to-dos, just added memories to your life.

You’re busier than you ever thought you’d be. Between chasing toddlers around, work commitments, mastering the art of diaper changes, herding kids to practice, and trying to get some me time, it’s hard to imagine adding anything to your plate.

As a mama of two, I get it!

I'm here to simplify the photography process for you so you can keep focusing on what you need to.

If you want no-stress & natural maternity, newborn, and family photography — I'm your girl.
