Pittsburgh Child and Family Photography

Olivia (is ONE!) + Family

These girls never, ever disappoint. They are adorable, and it’s always cuteness overload when I come around with my camera. I have to shoot fast… REALLY FAST.  With three sweethearts bouncing around, there are moments happening all the time, all around that are worth documenting.  I’ve been photographing this family for a year now and I cannot believe how beautifully the girls have grown in such a short time – especially little Olivia who just celebrated her first birthday!!

Packed with personality, mom wanted to be sure to remember what Olivia is like right now. Looking up to her sisters, always curious, so alert and so happy – that’s Olivia. Keeping the focus on the birthday girl, I shot in their home as the girls played in tents and with toys, and balloons. Coming into a home that feels lived in and photographing a family where they feel most comfortable – I love it. Bonus: sometimes I get to end a session with a Frozen sing-along concert.  That’s what life is like for this family at the moment and it’s really beautiful.

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 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.
