Golden Hour Maternity at Phipps Conservatory Pittsburgh

COMING SOON: BABY F (PITTSBURGH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY)

Maternity

Maternity sessions are about celebrating the excitement ahead, while taking a pause to soak in the moments before that next new adventure takes over. They are a big deal. They call for a styled bump, a glowing mama, and a daddy ready to wrap his arms around the loves of his life.

Their session was perfect and beautiful. Filled with personal touches and soaked in beautiful Fall light. Three looks (because, clearly, she knows fashion and precisely how to dress her changing body). Phipps and Schenley Park. Mamas very own baby bracelet turned necklace. The pumps she wore on their wedding day. Love. All that love. Laughter and silent moments where baby started to kick. It all came together in the most wonderful way.

Baby F — they are ready for you. (I am too!!)

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.

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.

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!

Non-Profit

Branding

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.
