Pittsburgh Maternity Photographer

Baby H is on the way!!

Maternity

I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET THIS BABY!! (all caps = me, excited). I mean, I’m excited to meet all of the newborns that I photograph, but after spending an hour with mom and dad, I became so ready to meet the little miracle growing inside this gorgeous mama. They came to me after working with Leeann Marie. Do yourself a favor and check out their engagement + wedding photos before you scroll any further.  Leeann tells their love story and documents the day that their families became one just perfectly!! Then come back to their in home maternity session.  You’re excited now too, right?

I already know that they are going to be amazing, cool, fun parents. And Bernard is going to be a fantastic four-legged big brother! Their lovely home is ready for their little bundle and I cannot wait to share their first few days at home, once everyone is all settled in. Until then, I hope that mama enjoys all of the Ben + Jerry’s she can handle… what baby wants, baby gets 😉

let's get to know each other!

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.

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.
