COMING SOON: BABY L (PITTSBURGH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY)

Maternity

I’m a few short weeks away from meeting their sweet bundle of baby and I am so, so excited. I love in-home newborn sessions all year round but when it’s -18 degrees outside, I really, REALLY love waking into a newly decorated nursery, and watching new parents cozy up to their swaddled baby. It’s magic to me in these cold winter months. All that new love warms me right up!

The two in this post are just plain wonderful. In love and waiting on their little life to arrive.

We shot in early December at the always beautiful Hartwood Acres Mansion. Her navy lace maternity dress was so incredibly perfect with the subtle glow of Christmas decor peeking through the windows. Both of them snuggled up to the bump, in front of the holly, was just the right look to celebrate their last Christmas as “two”!

Perfect sunlight, and a soon to be dad loving on a glowing life-growing mama…just beautiful.

No added to-dos, just added memories to your life.

You’re busier than you ever thought you’d be. Between chasing toddlers around, work commitments, mastering the art of diaper changes, herding kids to practice, and trying to get some me time, it’s hard to imagine adding anything to your plate.

As a mama of two, I get it!

I'm here to simplify the photography process for you so you can keep focusing on what you need to.

If you want no-stress & natural maternity, newborn, and family photography — I'm your girl.
