Newborn Baby Andrew

I shot this Pittsburgh lifestyle newborn session just a couple weeks ago when baby Andrew was a couple weeks old.  We shot in their home, where I enjoyed some lovely blank backdrops because they had just moved in fairly recently! Baby Andrew's big brother Seth was thrilled to be cuddling his sweet new brother! Baby Andrew's room has the cutest rug from Land of Nod, which made a sweet backdrop for some of his portraits.  Since it was summer, we even shot some portraits outside with 11 yr old chocolate lab Tate. Congrats P family!  SO much fun working with you and your boys! *** Are you looking for a maternity, newborn, family, or baby photographer in Pittsburgh?  I would love to hear from you!  Powder Blue Photography offers in-home and studio portraits of newborn babies and maternity, and on location family portraits in and around Pittsburgh, including the South Hills, McMurray, Peters Township, Canonsburg, Bridgeville, Upper St. Clair, Fayette, and Mt.

Newborn Baby William

This lifestyle newborn photography session took place in my client's home in Pittsburgh.  Baby William is loved and protected by his dog Molly! I show most of my work in color but I like some images for black and white.  I usually choose black and whites for more dramatic lighting and higher contrast. We were trying to figure out who baby William looks like--mom or dad?  I am thinking 50/50! This family has a large, beautiful home but sometimes you have to follow the light right into a corner!  I loved this hallway corner for the bright light from the window.  We got a lovely portrait of Molly here as well! Baby William has a nautical themed nursery, with whales., anchors, and navy stripes. My favorite shots are these ones of William on the glider in his nursery and on a special handmade alphabet blanket (letter W of course!).  I don't think he made a sound during our entire two-hour session.  What a sweetie!

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! ********** Missy Timko is the photographer behind Powder Blue Photography, a boutique photography studio located in Pittsburgh, PA.
