Magical child sessions … ahhhhh give them all ! It all started with a dress – I had seen this dress and dreamt of the day that it would be rented for a session. That day came & it was more perfect than I imagined. I love stars & when I get to incorporate them into a session I try to make it different form the last …because we all know I have used stars quite a bit . LOL . I had a mentor come in all the way from South Carolina, (Paige) that hired me for my pixie dust mentoring session. The idea is that I create a session that they oversea from start to finish. . . +

These type of sessions are super fun & typically super magical because my creative juices get to run & play. (Where as normally my child sessions are truly based on the child his/her interest love etc. at the time…these sessions are a different part of my imagination and what can I do to show my creative juices to the one hiring me )

Paige and I did a model call that included that they needed to have a big dog. I felt like the stars aligned with these 2 beauties came into my inbox. I grew up having a great dane and have a special spot in my heart for them. This Blue great dane was just as beautiful as her sister. We all had a lot of fun at the studio and outside the studio in alleyway.

Pittsburgh’s “award” winning child photographer | Honored to take 3rd place in NAPCP national image competition

Pittsburgh’s “award” winning child photographer | Honored to take 3rd place in NAPCP national image competition

 

Words really can not express my emotions. I feel honored, blessed, humble and … so much more.

I am a new member of NAPCP and as of recently also a NAPCP 2018-2019 ambassador. I submitted 10 images in February for this NAPCP’s image competition and received the final results yesterday April 23, 2018.

I truly am so excited. This photo is also really special to me because it was one of those photos that I just felt like I started to get it all together and magic started happening. I shot this 2 years ago ( 2016). 2016 for me was really the year I started to feel like I found myself as an artist and to recognized for a photo from that year and in a category that I feel I shine in – really just makes my heart explode in a million glittered stars.

Thank you NAPCP !

 

The magic within collection : Is all about the child | Milestone sessions for children 6 months through 16 years of age. These sessions are created around the child with their imagination behind the concept I create. With keeping in mind what they love right now. ( all planned form chatting on the phone ) I have found that it is so important to capture these moments for children so they can look back ( just as important – you can look back ) at these times of their lives and remember how important these “things” are to them. Whether that be the love for Unicorns, reading or swinging. I make sure to freeze those moments to have forever. After all capturing memories will never go out of style.

This original concept was created & photographed by me.

Pittsburghs award winning child photographer | it’s a sweet trip to a candy shop turning 2

polka dots are the perfect accessory

 

Simple and sweet in my pure white studio. Wearing this amazing rose gold polka dot dress  from Hucklebones london

All we needed were balloons and rose god lollipops

turning 2

 

Turning 2 is fun – capturing the innocence and fun of a 2 year old can be challenging . I incorporated just a couple props because to many is overwhelming not enough is boring. I was so excited about this rose gold polka dot dress ( that is totally 12 month’s in size – however , was more than perfect for this sweet 2 year old)

Pittsburgh Child photographer | There is a secret garden …part 1

February 24-25 , 2018

Wanderlight workshop

 

Pittsburgh Child photographer | There is a secret garden …part 1

There is a secret garden where miracles and magic abound, and it’s available to anyone who makes the choice to visit there. 

 

It’s no surprise that I love creating magic. I love shooting and story telling is in the heart of all my images. Wanderlight was created from 3 passionate photographers that bonded over photography and teaching. Now, we are great friends and bond over much more.

This go around my dear friend Sarah and I decided to host our very first petite workshop in our studio 415 .

We were so excited to have Vintage Alley , Shoot proof and Color Inc. contribute to the workshop. Photographers came in from near and far.

Part 1 is below

I am just absolutely in love with this set. We rented the doors form vintage alley and used our own greenery purchased from local craft stores . Our little model looked like a fairy.

Love trying different angles and perspectives
