Pittsburgh Family Photography

The T Family

Little Maxwell is celebrating his half-way-to-one birthday! Mom and dad decided that some balloons and time spent together was a nice little way to ring in 6 months with their son. We shot in their home for a bit, making sure to grab one shot of him on THE black leather chair (the one that I always say that I’m going to steal because I love it so much). We shot some of his newborn photos on that chair and it was fun to see how much he has grown since then. We ventured outdoors where the family cuddled up on a blanket and mom played her button box.  Maxwell is into it already!! Time for lessons, mom!! To finish our session we met on the North Shore and shot with that beautiful skyline as a backdrop.

The little guy is teething at the moment, and all of us parents know how much fun that can be, but Maxwell is a champ.  He loves to play in his jumparoo and with his penguin friends. He likes to scoot on his changing pad and roll around on the floor. He likes to hold mom and dad’s hands by their pinkies and thumbs while investigating the rest of their hand… and maybe chewing on a finger or two (again with the teething). He’s a happy, energetic and very strong minded little guy that is always so much fun to photograph. Happy 6 months to this handsome little dude!! Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography Pittsburgh Family Photography

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.

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.
