Children

North Pittsburgh Child Photographer | Sparkle, Shimmer and shine with JOY

It’s going to be the most wonderful time of the year. . .

With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

It’s the hap-happiest season of all…

Starting off some whimsical holiday sneak peeks with the Armstrong children.

The Pittsburgh Penguins sure do know how to have the guest little nestlings 😉 (hee hee)… And not to mention win the Stanley cup!

Nothing is more important than capturing moments with your little one(s) .

Sometimes I think most of women after having babies feel changed. Maybe not feeling like yourself or feeling like you may look different than before you had children. There is nothing wrong with that. Heck, I am guilty of those feelings too. That is why every year I offer mommy & me mini sessions. I want you to get in front of the camera for one evening. Treat yourself to hair & make-up. Got get your nails done. Find a pretty dress- or i’ll even help you find one 😉 and book your session. I can not express to you how important these moments are.

This beautiful momma contacted me for my mommy me & mini sessions I held in June. I rented this beautiful settee from Vintage Alley. I styled this new momma in Joyfolie ( Coral Dress in Ecru) When she had ask what she would wear I knew that this was the perfect dress for the setting & he look.

The location was a HUGE part of this session. I wanted the momma’s to stand out and feel like they were in a fairytale with their babes

Maternity

A beautiful night for a maternity session ( in July … I am late on blogging )

My stylist Ashley coordinated the families clothing for this family maternity session . I absolutely loved it – it was on point for what everyone wanted.

Keeping the family blended together and still letting their personalities shine through and so it matches their home when they hang their gallery on the wall.

Soon their will be 5

It’s so important with family maternity sessions to capture mommy and her littles now. I love mum and me moments . I also love capturing the kids by themselves. It’s great getting all the details of the session so the family has lots to share with friends and family & the walls of their home.

Family

Pittsburgh Family photographer | Simply family

Known for my stylized sessions you probably think I never do simple organic photography 🙂

Guess what ?

I do !

Sometimes all you need is a little laughter …

I took this family to a park with some wild grasses and beautiful light. I wasn’t concerned with a specific look of the area I was shooting in as much as I was with just capturing genuine love & laughter. This beautiful family just wanted them being …them !

I loved the styling of clothing on this set. We had just gotten in June here in Pittsburgh I felt like the color choices were perfect for that beautiful spring/summer flowers. Light pastels let the family stand out with out being over the top.

When the kids are having fun- everyone is happy.
