It was such a great pleasure meeting the Pratt family and getting to know them a little bit.  I’m crossing my fingers that they move over to Mt. Lebanon someday!

Even despite our recent stressful car accident woes (negligent driver texting crossed center line and hit us head-on right here in our Mt. Lebo neighborhood–we all survived, thank goodness!!), I had a huge smile on my face editing this session because how can you feel anything but joy with this kiddo’s expressions?

Sullivan Adventure is 1! | Pittsburgh Baby Photographer

Sully came to see me to celebrate his recent first birthday.  I shot his family portrait at Schenley Park this past fall and was so pleased to see how much this sweet little man has grown.  This photo on the left is one of my favorites because you can see his little hand saying “I am 1!”

Sully dug into his cake alongside cheers and encouragement from mom and dad.  I think I heard someone say “You can do it! Just stick your face into it!” at one point.

Sadly, the Bartkowiaks moved to Alaska a couple weeks ago. I’m sure they will be very happy there and will make many new friends and memories, but they will certainly be missed in Pittsburgh!

Squirrel Hill Newborn Baby Alina | Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer

Newborn Baby Alina came to me a few weeks back for a simple & clean newborn portrait in the studio.  We chose rich blue, red, and grey tones for her portrait to keep the attention focused on her beautiful eyes, full head of hair, and perfect, soft baby skin!  What a sweetie!
