Pittsburgh Family Photographer | Loughridge Family

So many of my clients want to shoot their annual family portraits in the fall, but this session is going to make a strong case for a summer session! Look at the beautiful, lush summer leaves and flowers! Additionally, it’s warm for baby and the light is gorgeous. Pro tip for summer sessions–bug spray!!

We shot this session at my favorite South Hills location and it was as perfect as ever. I knew I could leave it to Mom Jill to coordinate great threads for her family too–beautiful pinks & blues looked soft and pretty on the summery backdrop.

This session is baby Andra’s 12-momnth session for her Baby Plan, so I have gotten to know the girls pretty well at this point! This kind of familiarity allows me to get the best of expressions!

I’m happy to call this family “friends” as well, I know mom from Mt. Lebanon Junior Women’s club!

Baby Andra started walking days after this session–perfect timing. 🙂

Leela’s 1st Birthday | Pittsburgh Baby Photographer | Shabby Chic Summer Backyard Party

As a baby and family photographer I am sometimes asked to photograph special milestone events in my clients’ lives, and every once in a while I am able to make this work with my busy portrait schedule! I was thrilled to be able to photography baby Leela’s first birthday party in July! It was thoughtfully designed by Encore Event Design.

Leela’s family went all-out for this event and with valet parking, a fully staffed bar, and the most lovely decor, including a beautiful photo backdrop from Vintage Alley in Pittsburgh. This was set up for guests to take selfies, but I took advantage of the lovely setup and posed Leela’s family while we waited for her to wake up from her afternoon nap. 🙂

Can you believe this beautiful family portrait we got with Leela just minutes after she woke up? What a sweet baby! Leela is one of NINE granddaughters (yes, all girls!!), with four aunts on her mom’s side alone, so we gathered up as many of the ladies as we could very quickly and got them all in a snapshot.

This party was all about the details, and the dessert table was no exception! Everything looked delicious and lovely! Cake and desserts by Desserts Allure and Nice to be Iced.

One of my favorite details was the precious jewelry on Leela’s feet!

Leela didn’t disappoint on the cake smash! She dug in with the help of mom, dad, her two sisters, and her grandmas! The biggest smile came when she fed mom a bite! 🙂

Happy first birthday Leela! I was honored to share your special day with you!

Anna Rose 12 Month Session

Baby Anna Rose is a year already–that went by so quickly! Her newborn session is here.

We shot this family session at the Frick Art & Historical Center–dad is a board member, so we were allowed access to the gorgeous property for portraits, such a privilege!

This lovely smocked dress was work by baby’s mom in her 1 year portraits! So nice when we can incorporate family heirlooms into new portraits!

That mama hugs slays me, love it.

Anna Rose did great as the sun started setting… though this is not usually the best time for babies at home, they usually can tolerate an outdoor session at sunset because there is a lot to look at! Stopping for snacks is a must though!

I’m a sucker for Mini Boden & tiny Saltwater Sandals! 🙂

It’s been a joy and a pleasure working with this family throughout Anna Rose’s first year! Happy b-day Anna Rose!
