big announcement…

With my kids getting older, and both being in school I am finding it harder and harder to find time to work. With baseball, soccer and camping I have had to turn down too many sessions this spring. I am going to be taking the next couple of months off to restructure my business. I have a small list of photographers who I have worked with and highly respect and will be more than happy to refer them to you. I want to thank all of my past clients over the past 4 years to trust me with your family portraits. It has been a fantastic experience meeting so many new people around the Pittsburgh area!

newborn…

I can’t get ever how cute this little newborn is, and his mom and dad were super sweet too! And I love it when I get to meet them early enough and their belly buttons are still attached. I miss doing my newborn shoots outside, it is much too chilly now.

perfect newborn…

a baby who doesn’t even make a peep during their photo shoot = quickest newborn shoot ever. and a bigger bonus, she curled herself up on her own!

babies in ties…

I may just have to make a bunch of these onesies with ties on them for future clients. Isn’t it adorable? I had to reschedule this session once because my daughter was sick. Mama wanted to get them done asap, before he got too chunky. I saw them at a picnic two weeks later, and she was right. It is amazing how quickly babies grow!

newborn baby girl…

one of the worst things about getting behind in blogging is trying to figure out where to catch up at. should i start where i left off, or begin posting my spring sessions? i decided to start where i left off. it is great to be able to photograph both maternity and newborn sessions. once they are both done, i get to know the family well. plus the older sibling is always way less shy for the second visit. for this session mom purchased a very pretty crocheted hat from etsy, but it didn’t arrive in time. so we rescheduled for a couple of days later, and unfortunately the hat ended up being a bit too big! we did our best to make it work, but the baby was not so happy about it. in between comforting and feeding (which is very typical in newborn sessions) we were able to get some great shots!

baby boy…

after not blogging for an embarrassing amount of time, it’s kind of hard to decide what pictures to start with first. i photographed this baby boy at 4 weeks, and he was way more aware of his surroundings. he was happy for the entire session (unless we tried to take off his onesie!), and fell asleep at the end. i am lucky enough to be friends with his mama, so we get to see him often. my own son gets a bit jealous when i hold him!

extra special delivery..

a couple of months ago a family in our church adopted a baby, on top of having three children of their own. how amazing is that?! she is quite a beauty, and definitely modest (or perhaps just too chilly..) once we clothed her, she was content and happily went to sleep.
