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 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. :) *** Are you looking for a lifestyle family portrait photographer in Pittsburgh?  I would love to hear from you!  Powder Blue Photography offers indoor & outdoor family portraits in and around the city of Pittsburgh, including the North & South Hills, Peters Township, Canonsburg, Upper St. Clair, Fayette, Fox Chapel, Wexford, and Mt.

Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer | Baby Claire

Baby Claire is #2 for this family, whose newborn baby girl I photographed just a couple years ago! Claire's family prefers a simple & clean portrait session for the newborn portraits, which is perfect for my uncluttered style.  We shot this session in my Pittsburgh photography studio. Big sister Quinn brought her bunny along, which adds a touch of personality to some of these sibling shots!   Studio portraits always usually look nice in black & white because of the higher contrast & directional lighting. Thanks so much for inviting me to capture this time for you!  :) More from this session here: https://youtu.be/cpuA-k6t4fU ********** Missy Timko is the photographer behind Powder Blue Photography, a boutique photography studio located in Pittsburgh, PA.

Pittsburgh Maternity Photographer | Laura G. Maternity Session

Laura called me about a Pittsburgh maternity photography session, and said she felt great being pregnant and wanted to capture the energy of the Brookline neighborhood where she lives.  We got the MOST PERFECT WEATHER on this day--around 70, clear, so lovely.  Right now (as I am writing this), it's 20 degrees and snowing, just a couple weeks later.  Pittsburgh!!! She sent me some great snapshots of the streets where we ended up shooting, and I said "yaaaaaas!!!"  I love a location that has meaning to my client and has qualities I look for--great lighting, deep space, and interesting details (like these awesome stairs. I usually would photoshop out more of the power lines and cars but I felt like that would actually take away from the busy city feeling of these images.  I did remove any large poles or lines or people that were distracting from my lovely subject!
