At-Home Baby Sitter Session

December 3, 2022/by kmiller

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!

Maternity Session: North Park

July 8, 2021/by Maria Taylor

This North Park maternity session was a lot of fun and we all got in a bit of a workout trekking between these locations. We met up early on a Saturday for this gorgeous morning light and were able to wrap up before the park got too busy.

Cranberry Maternity Session: Celebrating the Change from Mrs. and Mr. to Mom and Dad

October 15, 2020/by kmiller

When you’re expecting, it’s natural to shift your focus to all things baby. Lots of change comes with pregnancy or adoption. And when we step back, one of the biggest changes that gets overlooked is our roles in marriage. We simply adapt to all of the change that comes with this tiny new life. And it occurred to me recently that a maternity session is not just about the physical change that is taking place, but about the transformation of a couple. And this mom- and dad-to-be really bear witness to a beautiful beginning on their journey as parents.

Cranberry Newborn Portraits: Stress-free in the Studio

February 12, 2020/by kmiller

Those first few weeks and months after having a baby are wonderfully messy. Extra snuggles and late night feedings take a front row seat to everything else. In this season of life, newborn sessions can be daunting. A studio newborn session can provide a stress-free option for your family.

Pittsburgh Newborn Photography: Keep It Simple with an At-Home Session

August 24, 2018/by kmiller

The first few weeks after bringing baby home come with a huge adjustment—it’s a wonderful, yet sleep-deprived time, marking the beginning of that precious one’s life and the beginning of a family’s story. Being a handful of years beyond that time, I can look back and say that I’m glad I hired a photographer to capture my sons as newborns and that I could be in the photos! We had both photo shoots done at our home and I remember feeling relieved that we didn’t have to go anywhere, because that took so much energy! And since we’ve moved, our photos in our old home are that much more meaningful to us now. Here’s a newborn session from earlier this summer and as I talked with this mama, she mentioned that she hadn’t heard of in-home newborn sessions before and was so glad to be able to schedule one for her baby.
