Pittsburgh Child photographer | May Flower Fairies

There is that garden that the flower fairies go

they don’t have wings yet

they have yet to grow

You can find them when the light is just a right

It’s golden and soft

And a subtle bright

Pittsburgh Child photographer | Peaches & Cream

When Jocelyn from Mia & Joy Studio asked me to photograph some new pieces of her new storybook line I felt like I hit the jackpot !

I LOVE her clothing!

… can we talk about this model for a moment! These baby rolls are out of control – I am so in love with this little munchkin.

Here is her : Lottie Sitter romper

This romper is so soft and the details are amazing !

Perfect transition into fall ( Or use again for spring & summer)

That’s it for now !

More to come – keep watching !

Pittsburgh child sitter photographer | Simple and sweet little boy

Capturing these sweet moments came natural for this little handsome fellow.

I loved keeping his session simple & sweet – just like him. I put him against the exposed brick side on my studio because it created this great contrast of what he was wearing in this oatmeal Cora & Violet outfit.

Creating magical memories : DIY flower prop drop

(continued series for photographers)

Hey everyone !

Sorry it’s been a while since I have blogged. I think it’s been busy season for me since May.

I have a fun DIY project for you today . I am not sure if it has a technical name – I am just going to call it the “flower prop drop” 🙂

I have done a fun flower prop back drop before in 2014. (different style) I took foam board thumbtacked moss ( which later cloned out) and pinned red & white roses. This served as my backdrop for my twins first birthday session. ( no judging on the photo I had only been shooting for about a year plus )

This worked for the purpose of the shoot . However , it was no long term – I didn’t want it to be . I wasn’t sure when I could use it again . I of course kept the moss, flowers and foam board for future props 😉

So it’s now it’s fall time here in Pittsburgh .

I had this a 6 month milestone photo shoot coming up. I wanted to bring something light & airy to the session to match the Little’s room at home . However, outside wasn’t an option it was a cold week. Mom told me about this flower mobile she had in baby Grayce’s room that she made. It gave me the inspiration I needed for this session .

Tools needed :
Peg board
Flowers
Hot glue gun

I purchased the peg board at my local home improvement store ( Home Depot )

The size I chose for this project : 23″ x 31″

(it doesn’t have to be this size . I had no reason for this size other than eye balling what I thought I needed)

The flowers I purchased at a local craft store – I chose “real touch ” flowers because I felt like the colors fit the look best for what I was going for.
I will say they are very expensive – even on sale.

(don’t feel like you NEED these flowers …this is what worked for me set – try different things)

I didn’t need to cut the flowers – the tops pulled right off.

Not all the flowers fit through the peg holes. I found it to not be an issue because I just used more hot glue to secure the flower to the board .

I left a space in the center – I am not sure that was really necessary. I am going to fill it in ( this way I can use it has a back drop for a future session )

THE MAKING OF IT

(forgive the quality I took these with my cell phone not realizing how many people would be interested on the “HOW TO” Otherwise I would have taken “pretty” photos of the making of it all )

FINAL PRODUCT IN ACTION

Remember !

In the end – we are a community of photographers!

We are to be inspired by others not copy. My ideas come from my head. I may have seen something similar at one point in time. However, my intention is never to “copy”. I hope I have inspired you !
