Pittsburgh Family Newborn Photographer

Baby Maxwell + Family

They just moved into a home that is so ready for this new, wonderful addition.  I mean, this home screams – PLEASE LET TWO RAMBUNCTIOUS + PLAYFUL BROTHERS GROW UP HERE!! Mom and dad were blessed with their second baby boy, Maxwell, and the love is just overflowing! You cannot help but be happy for this family, including the pup – Nacho!

Sweet baby Maxwell was such a trooper during his family newborn session. I think he was in awe of all the excitement that day but nothing really managed to phase him.  He is a laid back little dude already who knows just when to flash a smile or make one of those cute little brand new baby noises.  Mom can’t get enough and I can’t blame her!

Big brother, Owen was a gem. I could have just photographed this little guy all day, but instead I focused on him while mom was feeding the real star of this session. Owen read every book on the shelf (he wanted me to join in on the fun, so I put down the camera and read a few lines from Green Eggs and Ham). He showed me ever stuffed animal that he owned, hid in his tent and played with his daddy. It was all so adorable. I think it’s really important to capture the whole family in such exciting times and I feel like their gallery spells out what life with two boys is going to look like for many, many years! FUN.

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.
