Expectantly Waiting: A Maternity Session Before Two Becomes Three

I love photographing expectant parents together.  Sometimes dads-to-be can feel as though they’re looked over as we focus on that growing baby belly.  And while a mama is doing all of the work growing that baby, a dad’s role goes from supportive partner to so much more.  I see this in my own family and can say that he is a huge deal for my two boys.

First Birthday Cake Smash and Bubble Bath Session

This little sweetie turns one today and we celebrated with a photoshoot a few days before her birthday with a smash cake and bubble bath!  We didn’t get any real smiles until the cake was served, that’s when the magic happened.  Sometimes babies don’t know what to do with cake, but this baby girl knew she liked it!

Maternity Portraits at Cranberry Photo Studio

This maternity session in the studio is the start of something beautiful.  This sweet mama and her baby on the way is the main story.  And the backstory is that there are lots of maternity and newborn sessions on the horizon and I couldn’t be happier!  Focusing on this niche has allowed me to explore new techniques and offerings like this overhead angle, mixing studio and natural light and a new wardrobe of maternity gowns, newborn swaddles and knitted things.  I feel like a kid at Christmas!

Pittsburgh Headshots and Personal Branding Sessions

Need a new headshot or a fresh look for your personal brand?  Last week, I shared that I’m excited to shift my focus onto maternity, newborn and family photography.  And while that will be the main emphasis at my Cranberry Photo Studio, I also enjoy photographing headshots. 

Closing 2022 with Gratitude and Looking to 2023 with Great Expectation

2022 has been a good year for me; I was blessed to open a studio in June and fill my calendar with capturing so much beauty.  I’m looking forward to 2023 and especially excited to narrow my focus on maternity, newborn and families.  It’s what I know best and it’s so wonderful to help families celebrate as they grow.
