Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer

Baby Alani

I don’t require that my clients meet with me before shooting a session. I’m always up for it, but it’s unnecessary (I try to throw myself out there in the about me section of my site and on social media so that people can easily get to know me… and my own little crazy family). Half the time, I walk into a session meeting mom and dad for the very first time.  In the case of little miss Alani’s parents, I hit the awesome client jackpot. They are amazing! Such loving, wonderful, first time parents. They felt like old friends who might have had to kick me out of their lovely home after we finished! I could have hung out with them all day – but I forced myself to leave so everyone could rest! Not from here originally, this city is lucky to have them right now!

Their brand new baby girl… well she is a gem! She was absolutely, 100% perfection during her session. Don’t even get me started on how adorable she is (simply scroll down and see for yourself). Can you say… baby model? I can! She was such a fabulous little subject. Just the cutest and so at home in the arms of her parents and in her – OH, SO, AMAZING – nursery.

Alani and family have my very best as they grow together into the loving little family they were meant to be. xoxo

Where your story is turned into something you can come back to—
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.

Hey! I'm Melissa.

Say goodbye to unnatural and inauthentic photoshoots. I use a child-led approach to guarantee a fun, stress-free family photography session!

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.
