Pittsburgh Maternity Photographer

Baby E is on the way!!

Mom and dad just celebrated 5 years of marriage and they are patiently awaiting the arrival of their son – coming so soon!!! They asked me to shoot a maternity session in addition to their newborn session. They were looking for maternity photos that felt and looked more like their engagement images… DONE! Less naked belly and more mom and dad loving up on each other, while showcasing the love that brought them to where they are right now… soon-to-be parents! <— my approach to ALL of my maternity sessions

Dad is full of energy and is really looking forward to having a little boy to bond with. Mom is ready for a rambunctious little guy as well and feels like her hubby might be the best practice out there – tons of energy, silly and so much fun (see below where he climbs a tree, and she showcases a “get down from there” stance… haha)! Hands down, these two are one of the most lovable and energetic couples I’ve worked with in a long time!!

They are going to be such fantastic parents and I cannot wait to meet their little one!

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.

Hey! I'm Melissa.

Say goodbye to unnatural and inauthentic photoshoots. I use a child-led approach to guarantee a fun, stress-free family photography session!

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.
