First Year Spotlight – Pittsburgh Lifestyle Photographer

When families book a newborn session, it is possible to add-on a maternity session and two first year sessions. That's how I met this amazing family! We met around a year ago at sunset to capture beautiful maternity portraits. It was exciting to hear the news when their baby boy arrived and we scheduled a newborn lifestyle session. We spent a relaxed morning together in their home while capturing portraits of everyone in the family, including their adorable dog. In the following months we met once in the studio for a sitter session and then again back at the field where we first met, but this time to celebrate Benny's first birthday with an outdoor cake smash and family portraits. It's a pleasure to be trusted by families to capture the important moments of their lives!!

Newborn Lifestyle Spotlight – Pittsburgh Lifestyle Photographer

I literally love everything about lifestyle sessions! I love meeting new families in their homes, highlighting their home decor in the background, including their pets. Every family and every home is different. It's a challenge to walk into an unknown situation and look for angles that highlight the beauty. I'm excited to feature this family on the blog. (Although I'll never fully understand why anyone would want to move out of Mt. Lebanon!! :) ) I enjoyed talking and laughing with this family throughout the session. I hope you love these photos and French bulldogs as much as I do!

Travel Guide | St. Louis

St. Louis is a great place for a family vacation. We stayed in an AirBnB in West County. We prefer AirBnb to hotels, because we like the extra space, having outdoor living space and a kitchen. We enjoyed delicious food and drinks while exploring all that St. Louis has to offer! Check out our recommendations below.
