Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer | Outdoor Newborn Portraits | Baby Aidan

Those of us who live in Pittsburgh need no convincing that Pittsburgh is glorious in May. The city seems to alive after the always-too-long winter. We all come out of hibernation in May. The other thing that happens every May is–babies, babies, babies! For me, the month of May is always full of requests for outdoor newborn sessions. I love it!

Case in point: Baby Aidan, big brother Nolan, and Mom and Dad (Kaitlin and Bob). With a newborn, it’s not really necessary (or even a good idea) to go too far from home to get a great outdoor shot, especially during the nice weather. I chose the side steps of the family’s new home in Mt. Lebanon as the setting for these beautiful family portraits.

Then we moved inside for some more cuddly shots, and what could be more cuddly than bed?

Big brother Nolan and I are old friends, even though he’s only 18 months old. When Nolan was a newborn, Mom and Dad purchased the baby plan for him, and he just had his 12-month photo shoot just a few months ago. Here’s Big Brother Nolan as a newborn:

Nolan was a quiet baby, but since he has become a Big Brother, he has become the biggest chatterbox! He has a Baby Brother to talk to now! (Nolan calls baby Aidan “A”.)

This is definitely one of my favorite families, and I look forward to taking their photos as they grow!

Pittsburgh Family Photographer | Outdoor Family Portraits | Ferriolo Family

I have two brothers–one 21 months older, and one three years younger. Yes, I am the middle child and the only girl. Being the only girl was fun, but I always though it would be fun to be either the oldest—you get to do everything first—or the adorable baby of the family! However, everyone knows the middle child is the smartest… so I’ll take it.

Can you imagine my excitement when I got the opportunity to photograph the Ferriolo family? Two brothers and one sister! In this family, twins Luca and Michael are eight years old and sister Julia is age six. So Julia isn’t the middle child like I am, but she still has two brothers to deal with. I can relate. (The puppy’s name is Mac.)

This was one of those days when everything comes together perfectly. The setting, the family, the weather, the dog (well, he ran off once with his leash in his mouth, but he was just playing)—it was all near perfection. This photo shoot took place on a beautiful Spring day in May, and we did the shoot at a nature park in the South Hills area of Pittsburgh. We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunset that day too.

But the absolutely best part of this shoot was the Ferriolo family itself. These funny and goofy kids—Luca, Michael, and Julia—reminded me of a lot of the crazy times I used to have with my two brothers. Nobody plays together quite like siblings do. You relate to each other by fighting and playing, playing and fighting. But there is no deeper love, except for the love you feel for your Mom and your Dad.

Because these guys are really into Minecraft and Roblox (like my own little guy, Jonah), I pretended to be cool and know all about it myself. I think they saw right through me, but in spite of that (or maybe because of it), I got some great smiles out of these sillies!

Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer | Baby Palmer

Baby Palmer was a complete doll for our newborn session at his Peters Township home this spring. We shot some of this session in the light, bright master bedroom and some of the images in the library for a moodier backdrop. The first thing I do for any session is look around the home for unexpected locations–you just never know what part of a home is going to make a great location for newborn photography!

This little handsome fellow already has some very cute outfits to wear for his session. It’s important that newborn clothes fit well but Palmer was a larger baby, so this was not an issue!

One of the many advantages to shooting a lifestyle newborn session in your home is that we can photograph your nursery–some mamas spend a lot of time and energy designing every detail, and believe me when I tell you that baby’s room is going to change a LOT in the months and years to come. Baby Palmer’s nursery is a neutral nautical theme with iron and wood accents. Love that iron crib!
