I have been working with many seniors in the past couple months and I love it so so so much!  They are so vibrant and full of personality!

I had way too many keepers from this session but these next two are my absolute favorites.  I just love her expression and her pose.

I live in Pittsburgh, the Castillos live in Sacramento, this session took place in Portland.  What??  I know, confusing.

It was a thrill to meet Rose, who was still a baby in my mind but is actually three! She reminded me SO much of Mimi (minus the diva attitude… I’m talking to you Mimi!) and I was wishing they would run around together in butterfly wings.  Not on this trip, but soon I hope!

Mama Stephanie is a highly educated and experienced pre-k special ed teacher (that is how we met, back in the early 00s in Cali!), so during this session she taught me many things about producing smiles and making a session fun.  There was a lot of talk of fairy dust and I felt like we were on an adventure the entire time.

The rest of this session is in this video, but there are three images in the video that I hadn’t retouched out some dirt on Rose’s leggings yet–can you spot them??  Special prize if you win.

Pittsburgh Baby Photographer | Baby Ben 5 Month Family Session

Here is a sweet family photography session that I shot in basically full sun, mid-morning at Schenley Park in Pittsburgh.  I thought they turned out beautifully, and I will maybe not shy away from mid-morning sun as much as I used to!  SO sunny & lovely!

This is a beautiful age for a portrait, sitting up (almost!!) and so happy!  Baby Ben was such a doll!

Rat Terrier Gracie is getting along in her years, but was very agreeable for her close-up!  She wore her sassy summer outfit for portraits!
