Newborn Spotlight: Pittsburgh Lifestyle Photographer
When I arrived at the home for this newborn session I smiled to myself when I saw their WVU flags in the yard. I knew that this family was big WVU fans but now I could see the proof! Soon I was warmly greeted at the door and welcomed inside. We spent the next next few hours photographing their brand new family throughout their beautiful home. One of my favorite things about lifestyle sessions is including the special details that make each family unique. For example, this family displayed their love of WVU with an adorable headband on their newborn baby girl. You’ll also see hand crafted items such as their beautiful baby quilt and hand lettered “I Love You in the Morning” sign.
No. I am from Shepherdstown, WV and my husband Zach is from Bridgeport, WV. We have been in Pittsburgh for about 6 years.

We went with neutral decor with mostly gray and white. I watched The Elephant Show as a kid and could not get the “Skinnamarink” song out of my head when I was pregnant so we went with elephants for any stuffed animals and other accents in the room such as the sign over her crib.

Currently? I’d probably sleep! Haha. Or maybe take a bath. Depends on the day.
