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 magazineÂ
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!

Pittsburgh Child Photographer | I dream in unicornÂ
Magical rocking unicorn, blonde curls oh & a star wand!
You only turn 3 once!
Those precious words that mama said to me . I Love it! So true ( you also only turn 1, 2 , 4 , 5 … once too ! So listen up 😉 )
Creating “Magical Memories” is my signature. 2 props is all I used
1. A vintage rocking horse that I purchased for $8.00
(I did attach the unicorn horn & spray paint it)
2. An adorable plush star wand that I purchased from Channa Bliss (found her on IG) It’s “Oh Baby” brand
and than … a whole lot of child imagination!
With out further ado I present to you ….

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 !

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 .Â
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 yearÂ
