Marco + Mama

There are never enough kind and wonderful things to say about these two. They came to me now TWO YEARS ago. That’s crazy to me… Marco is now TWO! Our babies just grow up incredibly fast and nothing prepares you for that (no matter how many grandmas and other mamas warn you).

I couldn’t be more thankful that the beautiful #bossmom behind Precious + Posh decided to allow me to document all of the most wonderful milestones with her handsome boy over the years. It’s been a humbling journey for me… watching them grow in love. And Marco… come one. What a handsome little guy. He’s a kid that I’ll never not want to photograph!

What’s Precious + Posh? Only the best children’s boutique in the Pittsburgh area!! If you have yet to stop by… well you absolutely should GO GO GO because she has an eye for styling out little loves in the most adorable and unique clothing and accessories. The store itself -located in Oakmont, PA- is fantastic and drumroll mamas……………. KID-FRIENDLY! She’s online too 😉

Prepare to smile your way though a little mama + me session from a chilly Sunday with a few of the best people I know. Enjoy!

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. 

For Mamas

i'm a business owner!

You didn't start your business to spend your evenings drowning in emails, chasing leads, or rebuilding the same proposal for the tenth time. You started it because you love what you do. I'm here to help you build the systems that give that love room to breathe.
