Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer: Studio Session

/by

Staying at home for your newborn session is nice, but going to a natural light studio that is outfitted with all of the comforts of home might be better.  This Pittsburgh mom and dad thought so and as a photographer I whole-heartedly agree.  They even brought their dog to be included in some of the photos!
