BRAND NEW: BABY LILY (PITTSBURGH IN HOME NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY)

Newborns

I shot their maternity session and walked away completely adoring this couple. Obsessed with their style, humor, and love for each other and their baby on the way. I walked away from that session really excited to see them with their sweet girl.

Now she’s here. She’s here and she is perfect! Their sweet, most wonderful family addition is home. Everyone is in love!

Her in home session was laid back and relaxed.There was snuggling, smiling, sweet moments, and puppy love. That is a combo I always love to shoot. I walked away from this session LOVING baby girl and adoring the new mom and dad even more than the last time I saw them. They are already such amazing parents, giving their little lady everything she needs and more. I’m over the moon happy for them all – pups included!

Welcome home, sweet Lily.

let's get to know each other!

Where your story is turned into something you can come back to. I take photos of 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 story.

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.
