Three Reasons Why I Love Being a Pittsburgh Photographer

Time for a Portrait Update? Ready when you are!

Not sure if you should update your headshot or family portrait?  Here are a few indicator’s that it’s time: new hair, new glasses or switching to contacts, weight lose or gain!  Basically, does your last portrait look like you do now?  And if it’s your family, I recommend being photographed every year or at the least, every few years, because kids change fast.

A Pittsburgh Portrait Photographer’s 2023 Year-In-Review

2023 maternity - Pittsburgh Photographer

2023 has been a great year for me as a photographer and I’ve enjoyed photographing mamas, babies and families all over Pittsburgh and in my Cranberry Photo Studio.  Being a one-woman business means I sometimes get behind on sharing the latest sessions, so now that the holidays are here, I’ll take this opportunity to do a quick catch-up with this 2023 year-in-review.  So naturally, I’m starting with maternity sessions above.  I love capturing this beautiful time in a mama’s life.  And I’ve been mixing it up between a lifestyle/natural-light look and a dramatic/studio-lighting look and I can’t decide which direction I want to go in, so I think I’ll keep exploring both looks in the new year.  And I’m adding to my maternity wardrobe, which has been such a fun addition to my studio!

2023 newborn - Pittsburgh Photographer

My favorite approach to photographing newborn sessions is lifestyle with light posing and props and natural light.  I’m also enjoying some posed newborn portraits, but only when my clients request.  So I’m gathering lots of baskets, blankets and swaddles.

Most of my family sessions take place in the fall because it’s beautiful here in Western Pennsylvania.  I’ve added some favorite new locations and am always on the look-out for new places.  And I love photographing families in studio too and will be adding more studio family portraits to my portfolio this year.

2023 children - Pittsburgh Photographer

With a studio, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph birthday sessions all throughout the year.  And this year marks our first Santa Sessions, which were so much fun, I’ve booked two dates with Santa for 2024.

2023 seniors - Pittsburgh Photographer

It’s been a joy to photograph lots of senior sessions this past year.  I love getting to know each one and creating portraits that fit their personality.

Thank you to all of the families who trusted me with their portraits this year!
