Pittsburgh Newborn Session – Shadyside

This Shadyside newborn session happened last fall and I still have warm and fuzzy feelings about it! When Nicole contacted me she was looking to capture mostly family photos and I definitely get that. I want to see the whole family too—as moms we’re not often photographed and it’s important to me to be able to see myself with my kids when I look back. Just look at this adorable little family and the cute baby with his head slumped to the side. He really steals the show!

Here’s a close-up of him so you can relish the cuteness.

I remember when my youngest son was born, just how much I wanted a photo of my two boys together, even though my oldest was two and a half and not yet feeling so great about becoming a big brother. And I see this desire in other moms too. We won’t let our toddlers hold the baby without the support of an adult, but we must find a way to capture just the two of them together! And a cozy corner of a couch or lying side-by-side are my safest bets to accomplish this. This big brother was having tons of fun with his baby brother snuggling into him. And I love how this sweet baby looks over at him!

Being photographed with a baby is not easy, but this mama is rocking it!

And we had to capture this little guy’s cuteness! He is going to be such a great big brother!

My favorite shot from the session – everyone is happy and the boys couldn’t be any cuter!

Blessings to you, sweet family!
