The B-Y Family at Home

I feel really fortunate to be the photographer that this family welcomed into their home on a Saturday afternoon, to document what life looks like with their 7 year and 6 month old boys!  Because they now feel like good friends to me (it’s not my first time photographing this crew), I actually was a little bit sad leaving their house. Mom and dad are doing it all. They are extremely hard working, fun, busy people that always find time for each other and their boys.  Mom can multitask like I wish I could. I’m sort of in awe of what she can accomplish seemingly all at once!

Their two amazing boys keep them on their toes and going non-stop. Weekend getaways, family dinners, trips to the park, Mario Cart sessions (where big brother crushes everyone)… it’s always something but they are always together.  Quality family time is clearly important to this bunch and it shows.  Big brother is the smartest, most social young man that I’ve every met. Little brother is an absolute heartbreaker with the most ridiculously cute facial expressions. You cannot get enough of either one.

Like I said, I get a little sad when their sessions are over because spending time with such great people just makes you happy.  Here’s a look at why I don’t ever want to leave there place.  If they invite me back again, they are going to have to kick me out 😉

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.
