FAMILY /
MATERNITY / NEWBORN:

- Unlimited phone calls/texts to help plan your session, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your family's vision.
- Access to a what-to-wear guide and a curated Pinterest board for inspiration.
- I'm here to assist in selecting outfits that capture your family's essence.
- A location guide to find the perfect backdrop for your session.
- A Client Questionnaire to deeply understand your preferences, family dynamics, and goals for the session.

ALL SESSIONS INCLUDE:

Maternity sessions are all about capturing your unique journey into motherhood. We can do these sessions either at your place or at a location that speaks to you. Before we get started, let's hop on a call to chat about what you're envisioning. Whether you prefer to bare your belly or simply have your shape beautifully illuminated, I tailor the session to reflect your unique personality and preferences.


When it comes to newborn sessions, I aim for a cozy, at-home vibe that puts everyone at ease. Forget the stress of packing up a newborn and all their gear - we keep it chill by shooting in the comfort of your own space. Sessions typically last around an hour and a half to two hours, but we're flexible to accommodate any baby's schedule. Whether it's feeding breaks or soothing a fussy little one, we take our time to capture those sweet, unscripted moments. And if you're keen on outdoor shots, let's chat about how we can incorporate that into your session!


For family sessions, we have options to suit your style. If you're all about the cozy vibes of home, we can do an at-home session, capturing those everyday moments in your familiar surroundings. Or if you're up for an adventure, we'll meet at a spot around Pittsburgh that speaks to you. These sessions typically last about an hour and take place before sunset or sometimes at sunrise for those early risers. It's all about capturing your family's unique energy and connection, wherever you feel most comfortable.
