Pittsburgh Child photographer | If the crown fits

I had so much fun at this whimsical brother sister set.

Always love using Vintage Alley Rentals for items – such as the settee seen here

The girls also love wearing tutu du monde – this little miss even got to get her hair & make-up down for the session. How super special and a time to remember.

Now mom will have some awesome images to make a gallery in her home of her babies.

Pittsburgh photographer | Exposed brick studio

How excited am I to call this my own for a short bit of time!

I had used this space in the past for an editorial I did for Momazine magazine 

I loved it so much. I always said that if the opportunity opened that I could rent it for my own that I would.

Well perfect timing !

The winter can be rough here in Pittsburgh. It’s cold , raining , cold & raining …

As an outside photographer I “like” studios …but to me it had to be PERFECT because I typically shoot outside during golden hour. Which has become my signature look.

I wanted exposed brick , old wood floors , amazing light …

I wanted to paint one side all white

DREAMS TO COME TRUE !

Below are some photos from my editorial. I was blessed to have made the front & back cover with a full spread to bring it all together inside.

I am renting!

Magical golden hour in Pine township during my mommy & me session

That magical light !

I am so lucky to watch this beautiful little girl grow through the past couple years  & now I am so lucky to photograph her mommy & her.

It’s so important mom’s to get in front of that camera! These magical moments that come & go so quickly are ones that you will want to cherish.

I kept this session pretty simple styling all around . Yes , I personally style all of my sessions. I love watching my dreams come to reality. Very seldom I will hire a clothing stylist. However, all my sets are dreamt up & created by me. I do take pride & joy to say that. It takes a lot of time & energy & I want to make EACH session I do special. I styled mom in this beautiful Free People dress in a deep purple & mom rented the tutu du monde dress from borrowed boutique. The settee…I wish I could say was mine. However, I rented that from Trish over at Vintage Alley Rentals in Pittsburgh Pa.

I found this beautiful field that was backlit & had incredible grasses waist high. I knew that it was a perfect fit for these special moments .

 

 

Now, don’t wait to contact me to book your session ! I only have a few open spots left between August – October !

Creating magical memories

(my continued series for artist)

Interested in how I create my magic ? Come join me ! 

I have had some inquires lately about mentoring. I use to offer hourly mentoring & found that it just wasn’t enough time & that I had so much I wanted to share. I almost felt like I was cheating you out on knowledge . It’s taken me 4 years of blood ,sweat & tears . I am still learning & love to learn everyday. I try to keep up with new editing tools & new techniques. However, I always stay true to myself. I want to teach you what I know . 

For the first time I have decided to offer my Pixie Dust Collection : Come fly along with me as I take you on a journey. You over see a session from beginning to end. From my ideas/Brain storming , location scouting, prop section & than finally shooting. This obviously doesn’t all happen in a day for me … However, for the sake of the mentor session we make it all happen in one day. I est. about 6-8 hours with me. ( basically talk /mentoring lunch , dinner with me & shooting) Again … I give you my all. I don’t hold secrets – I feel that we are a community of photographers not competitors!

Please contact me for more information & availability *I will only be take on a few a year
