Brittany & Phil Maternity Session

Baby girl is coming soon for Brittany & Phil! We shot their session at a beautiful South Hills nature park in May of 2016. We brainstormed some names for the baby… Phillipa, Philhomena, Phyllis… what do you think?

Brittany is only about a month away from her due date now, and she looks gorgeous. I love most of these portraits in color, but I prefer this one in black & white.

Toward the end of our session the sun was setting, so I got some pretty hazy sun flare over Brittany & Phil. I point my camera directly toward the sun for this type of image, but I use my hand to shade my lens while focusing… otherwise my autofocus goes a little crazy and can’t figure out what to focus on.

Baby’s nursery is precious in lavender & teal. Can’t wait to meet the little lady at our July newborn photography session!

Ron & Katie Maternity Session

Ron & Katie’s little guy is coming in about a month! They are both Crossfit enthusiasts and coaches, so we did a session that combined their love of fitness with some more traditional sunset maternity portraits.

We started in the Strip District with some fitness-themed portraits. We were chased down by a security guard who insisted we not include certain buildings in our shots. I am thinking there is a top secret Uber operation nearby and they didn’t want us stealing their ideas! Fortunately for them I have no interest in developing a self-driving car, so no worries there.

These guys were good sports (get it?), and we got some great images despite being chased down by Uber security forces.

This part of the session was my favorite–the setting was gorgeous and there were rowing teams practicing below us. It was a nice clear day so we got some images of the beautiful Pittsburgh skyline before the sun set.

Looking forward to meeting baby boy in about a month!

Maternity Session with Jaclyn & Thomas | Twins

The year 2015 was a record year for twin births in Pittsburgh, and here at Powder Blue Photography, we couldn’t be happier! We love twins!

Meet Jackie and Tom, who became parents of twins last week. These images are from their maternity session, but watch for some adorable newborn twin portraits soon–we shot their session today (!!!), and babies Michael & Madelyn are insanely cute!

Jackie and Tom wanted some outdoor shots, but it was the first week in January! We could have encountered snowmageddon, or we could have had 75 degrees (like on Christmas Eve, remember?). The solution was to approach the shoot with flexibility and flow. (What else can you do when it comes to winter weather?) As it turns out, we were lucky! It wasn’t an extremely cold day. So we decided to do some shooting in my studio (above) and some outside, right around the corner from my studio (below). It was chilly, so we had to work quickly when we were outside. But it worked out great!

Jackie and Tom were more than ready to be parents, and they are SO excited to be having twins. I offer maternity sessions as an affordable add-on to clients who book a newborn session with me. Check out some of my favorite maternity images here.

Now, what’s on that clothesline that Jackie and Tom are holding? If you look closely, you will see two New York Mets newborn-sized onesies, one for a baby girl and one for a baby boy. So let’s figure this out. The Mets’ home opener is on April 8… the babies will be around three weeks old. This could work!

Jackie and Tom are so excited about entering this new phase in their lives, and I am thrilled to be able to help capture their incredible journey. Newborn images coming soon!
