Toddlers are a special bunch, and I love to photograph their little souls. They’re a contradiction, a conundrum… unpredictable, wild and exciting. Piles of rocks, Hot Wheels, fingerprints–artifacts, “a toddler was here” reminders. Super sweet.
This is a family with two little boys that recently moved to the Mt. Lebanon area from Alaska. Their kids are the same distance apart as my two little ones, so this was a little nostalgic for me remembering exactly where I was about 7 months ago… new to the area, going from one child to two, wondering what I had gotten myself into, but loving every second of my time with my babies. Check out how much dad & Everett look alike, complete with matching guayaberas!
Here these guys are laying on a goatskin collected in the Alaskan wilderness by their daddy. Big brother Everett gave Bennett lots of hugs and kisses and is an excited and happy little guy. Brothers! <3

The universe gifted me the best light, a beautiful warm day, and some friendly, happy people to photograph for this session. Anna & Matt are from Peters Township area and are expecting their first, a little girl, a couple weeks from now… I can’t wait to meet her!
We did this maternity portrait session at Peterswood Park in Peters Township, near Venetia. There is a great mix of groomed park areas and wilder, more natural areas for portraits. I mostly used my 50mm lens and brought along my Cali Sunbounce for help with backlighting. 
Congrats Anna & Matt!
