Pittsburgh In Home Newborn Photographer

Baby Jolene Marie + Family

Growing families, new sisters, guard dogs and parents so in love with the life that they have made… I am documenting these things and feeling really lucky right about now… seriously, pinch me! I know I say it a lot, but this job has allowed me to meet some of the best families in Pittsburgh.

It’s clear that sweet Jolene Marie is growing into a family that will protect her forever and ever. Mom, dad, Ella (my assistant/the new big sister), and Ruby (family weimaraner, aka the “first child”)… they all love their newest addition so much. How could you not… baby girl is perfect! She has managed to make an already awesome family that much better and I enjoyed every second that I spent in their home.

Big sister was a ball of energy during my visit.  She got to go outside and play when we finished up inside and her excitement was just adorable. You know that Frozen snowman song?? I was totally singing it to her while snapped away, taking pointers on how to build a little Olaf!!

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.

I'm a mama!

The journey of motherhood is filled with fleeting moments waiting to be treasured. From tips on capturing your little ones' everyday joy to thoughtfully designed presets, my resources are crafted with love for every mama capturing every moment.
