Baby Emilia is a beauty, just like mom!  She let us prop her up on her elbows for a super sweet newborn pose.

Proud dad took some amazing portraits in between watching some b-ball during our session. 🙂

You have to love this delightful series of facial expressions!  These often happen right as baby is drifting off to sleep, so I try to be ready!  The last one is one of my all-time faves for the outtakes.

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!”

Here we have the perfect grandparent photo, what an infections smile this kiddo has!

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!

Newborn Baby Max | Pittsburgh Lifestyle Newborn Photographer | Mt. Lebanon, PA

This week I am celebrating ONE WHOLE YEAR of running my photography business in Pittsburgh! Those of you who don’t know me well, here’s a little background… my family and I moved to Pittsburgh from Portland, OR in 2012 to be closer to family, since we had a then 1 1/2 yr old son, and our daughter Mimi was about to be born.  I took some time off to find our Mt. Lebanon home and to be with my baby girl but then was back up and running a little over a year ago. Before we moved to Pittsburgh, I ran my business in Portland for several years, but I also worked in Portland as a public high school photography & fine art teacher.  Now I am running the biz full time and could not possibly be happier!  I have enjoyed great success and wonderful clients since moving here and am so very grateful for all of you.

I have worked with the Kingston family twice now–once for holiday portraits back in December, and so I was thrilled when they contacted me to photograph their three-week-old baby, Max.

Through the process of shooting and editing babies, I always fall in love with them!!  Always!  This little guy was flashing smiles at me, big ones, at only three weeks old.

Big sister Arden is full of life and energy and such a happy girl.  She posed with her new brother, her Nana, and with Nana’s cat, who was in town visiting from the west coast.
