Cherry Blossom Portraits at North Park

Have you ever considered cherry blossom portraits at North Park? The lake by the Boathouse is surrounded by a variety of beautiful cherry trees thanks to The Pittsburgh Sakura Project, a nonprofit that has been planting and maintaining the trees since 2009.

Pajama Photoshoot Spreads Some Holiday Cheer!

If you asked me ten years ago if photographing families in Christmas pajamas would be a thing, I’d find it amusing.  Add in a pillow fight and a flurry of feathers and it just keeps getting better!  This month, we raised funds for Toys for Pittsburgh Tykes with our pajama-themed photoshoot and I’ve gotta say, the kids were having a blast with it!

Mother and Son Session at North Park

Sometimes we don’t need a special occasion to prompt a photo shoot; capturing the relationship of this sweet mother and her son at North Park on a beautiful fall day is just as special as any occasion.

2nd Birthday and Family Portraits – and Some Fun Outtakes!

We started with this session celebrating an upcoming 2nd birthday on a lovely morning in Cranberry.  It was a bit cold for this little sweetie, so after about 30 minutes, we headed to the studio and most of my favorites from this session took place there!  But for now, here’s a family portrait from one of my favorite Cranberry locations.

At-Home Baby Sitter Session

This family waited to capture their baby at 8-months old with a sitter session in and around their home.  The first year of a baby’s life has so many wonderful milestones, rolling, sitting, crawling, eating, talking, and walking.  Sometimes some of these things happen after the first year.  It’s not so much about when it happens, but celebrating the growth when it does happen!  And this baby girl was just beginning to sit up independently for a few seconds.  Her parent were so thrilled to see her figuring out this new and exciting thing!  Just look at that face—so proud!
