I’ve had the pleasure of watching this little guy grow since he was a newborn and I look forward to continuing the journey over the next year as he becomes a big brother!

Another beautiful stage of their lives growing up as big sister and little brother. (Another post from the past as you can tell by the fallen leaves!) Looking forward to capturing them again this Fall to document the next phase.

Love this family…both laid back and energetic. Love this session…both inside the house and a walk through the park. But since it took place during my crazy, hectic autumn of 2010…I never got to share it! So, without further ado, here is the little lady, growing up fast!

Big cheeks, lots of hair, cute little chin, and… a big ol’ laugh?

I must give credit to this big sister for learning early on to have a sense of humor when dealing with a crying baby…

because all the crying is totally worth these happy moments…

What’s not to love?

Baby girl number two was recently welcomed into this lovely family whom I’ve had the pleasure of photographing a few times now. Let me tell you…one of the joys of this job is seeing how a family grows over the years and with number two, this family has become more beautiful than ever. Introducing Tessa…

Can’t forget the new, big sister (also my new bff)…

Looking forward to watching your family continue to bloom and grow!

The sun is shining and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day today! So…I’m going to share some photos of a beautiful girl playing in the sun. If you’re following on facebook, you may have seen some from this session a while back, but I never got to share her on the blog. So, take a look at the joy that it is to be 3!

I hope these make you smile!

And for those of you who like to reminisce… here are some shots from her past sessions.

2011…welcome! ~ Pittsburgh newborn photography

I know…we’re two weeks in already, but considering my recent, lengthy absence on this blog, it’s a wonder I’ve managed to drop by for an update before January is out! My apologies. In truth, 2010 was filled with many fantastic clients, both new and old, and as the year went on…life got busy! Outside of shooting your beautiful babies in your homes, I moved my own family to a new home (just across town) and I’ve been working on growing a new little baby of my own, due to sprout in June! Did I say I was busy? Okay, maybe I was also just a wee bit tired.

Sooo….all that time away from the blog has left me with an awful lot of images to share with you, both from 2010 and already some new 2011 babies. On with the show!

Beneath that incredible hair is sweet little Ingrid. She also had a great welcoming committee…

She fit right in…

Looking forward to welcoming all of your little ones this year!

First off…a big THANK YOU to those who voted in the Nickelodeon Parents’ Pick awards – you picked me! In light of the favorite family photographer honor, I thought it appropriate to write a little about family sessions and share some of my work that falls into the family category since most of what you usually see here is bellies and babies.

When people with toddlers and young children ask if I do family photos, I always warn them that I’m not one to do a posed, all eyes on me, group shot. Here’s why: Look up the definition of “family” and you’ll probably find something about blood relatives, sharing the same mother or father, living under one roof, etc. I hope you’ll agree with me that “family” has a much greater meaning than that. I think those posed group shots say as much about your family as the dictionary definition. So…yes! While my sessions always have the little ones as the primary focus, I will do family photos. If you *really* want a posed shot, you can probably convince me to do it (I’m nice like that), but for the most part…I just want you to be you, doing what families do. Your kids will probably agree…it’s much more fun that way!

So here are some shots of a wonderful family who wasn’t afraid to just be themselves.

Thank you to the O family for a fun session!

Olivia. She was a sweet newborn when I photographed her last year and now a sweet one-year-old with lots of personality. Seriously, sooo cute – I had a little trouble narrowing down images to share from her session.

And her nursery is one of the most lovely rooms I’ve seen. You can’t see all of the little things here, but Olivia’s mom included lots of vintage touches which, if you know me, is totally up my alley!

I think we wore each other out, but it was totally worth it!

It was a fun morning I got to spend with these two charming boys… giggling, running, and hiding.

I even got a big kiss from this guy…

And we ended the session with mud!

Seriously, things got pretty messy.

It was an incredibly memorable time with a really great family – thank you!
