Baby Blair 3 Months | Pittsburgh Baby Photographer

I could gush over baby Blair all day. From the sweetest face ever to her charming personality to spending time with her awesome mama, this shoot was a highlight of my month for sure!

Despite the dreary weather, I mostly used natural light for this shoot. We shot this session in the upper level of the house and opened up all the blinds completely. With enough windows, this can work even on a very overcast/rainy day. I did use some fill flash on the nursery photos, but that’s kind of a must for images that are meant to feature the space (versus a portrait). I have been using Canon 600 ex-rt’s for a couple years now and I just LOVE them SO much. Before that I used 580 ex II”s and, though that is a great flash as well, the (very expensive!!!) Flex TT1/Mini TT5 Pocket Wizards I was using for OCF were unreliable at best. I appreciate that with the 600 ex-rt’s, I can just turn them on and go when using for a light fill. Time is money people. I first saw the 600’s demonstrated by Hanson Fong at Imaging in Nashville and knew I had to have them! I also just got a MagMod bubble thingy and found it very simple to use but kind of heavy.

This face!! Baby Blair, you are gorgeous!!

Baby B, you are sweet and adorable and I can’t wait to see you (and your mama) again in a couple months!!

Jack is 2! | Pittsburgh Child Photographer

by Missy•0

I’m so excited to share the first images from my new studio in Point Breeze! This is Jack, who spent his first year doing the Baby Plan with me so we are good buddies already!

We tried a little natural light shooting in the sitting room, where Jack showed off his 412 style in a tee from Commonwealth Press.

I thought that he looked pretty handsome in these black & white images!

You’re so cool, Jack! Happy 2nd birthday!

Pittsburgh Child Photographer | Lifestyle Family Session

by Missy•0

I was happy to be shooting many lifestyle family portrait sessions this winter! This is such a sweet and different type of portrait session than the outdoor fall family sessions that are so very popular with my clients.

We shot this session on a gorgeous snowy day so the light was bouncing all around the room and I used only window light for this session. I almost always use some sort of supplemental fill lighting bu child jumping on a bed

This mom has done several sessions with me in the past and is a pro at styling, she had a simple, neutral, fresh backdrop ready for me in one of the bedrooms, perfect for a little jumping on the bed action!

Even though it was the middle of the day, the sun was low enough and the snow reflective enough that I got a couple of cute shots of these two outside, love it.

Thank you C family! I always love seeing you. 🙂
