Pittsburgh Maternity Photographer | Josh & Vanessa | Gender Reveal Portrait & Golden Hour Maternity

These two live in Mt. Lebanon and are expecting their first baby, a little boy, in June.  We did a “gender reveal” session a few months ago when Vanessa was barely showing:

Then we did their maternity session when Vanessa was closer to 7 months.  Golden hour maternity portraits are one of my absolute favorite types of sessions!  I would love to do portraits around this time of day with families, but currently sunset is after 8 pm and it gets even later toward the solstice in June–not usually the best time of day for the little ones, but so pretty out!!

Such a beautiful silhouette–love this location!  Vanessa’s hair is so gorgeous because she is a stylist in Downtown Pittsburgh.

These guys are a lot of fun to work with and I am super excited about there newborn session next month.  I got a peek at the nursery and it’s on its way to being so adorable!

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.

This two-year-old was not at all camera shy!  This kid is so smart and can count to 100+!!

Some newborns are awake the whole session or asleep the whole session, but this time we got some awake shots and some asleep, perfect!
