It's Olivia's "Berry" 1st Birthday, and she celebrated with her favorite treat of strawberries! This unique theme was inspired by Olivia's strawberry-blonde hair, and I absolutely love it. What a sweet way to celebrate turning one!
Gavin is Two! - Cranberry Twp. Birthday Photography
Oh TWO-dles! Gavin is two, and I can hardly believe it! He was just a little baby when I did my first session with him, and now he has grown into such a sweet toddler. He was so well-behaved for his session. Gavin will be celebrating his birthday at the beginning of April with a joint Minnie/Mickey party with his cousin in NYC! What a fun way to ring in the magical age of two...TWO much fun!
The S Family - Cranberry Twp. Family Photography
Family Mini Sessions are a great option if you want to quickly update your family photos without spending a ton of money or time at a busy, crowded photography studio chain. I love getting to know the families I work with, and seeing their kids grow as they come back for different sessions. Family sessions can be done at my home, your home, or a public park, allowing lots of opportunity to get creative with the background and do whatever color scheme you'd like! I absolutely love the color palette in these photos. Grey, navy, and coral look awesome together, and definitely say "spring" without the typical pastels.
Zachary Jordan - Cranberry Twp. Newborn Photography
Sweet Baby Zachary was so precious for his newborn session. Once he got comfortable and warm, he dozed peacefully, and snuggled with his comfy elephant.
Welcome to the world, Zachary!
Emma is Two! - Cranberry Twp. Birthday Photography
I love the color palette Emma's mom requested for her 2nd birthday session. The neutral whites and gold look really pretty and feminine, while still being clean and simple. This Valentines birthday girl looked so cute in both her casual and dressy outfits.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Emma!
Jameson is 6 Months! - Gibsonia Baby Photography
Sweet little Jameson is everything a 6-month-old should be; happy, chubby, and smiley! He was such a good boy when I visited his home for a session in his nursery. He was all smiles and laughs! I was sure to capture the adorable details of his 6-month-old self in his dimpled knuckles and squishy feet.
Happy Half Birthday, Jameson!
Lindsay & Nick - Franklin Park Maternity Photography
These stunning parents-to-be braved the elements to capture some beautiful maternity images in the snow. Mama's bump-hugging gown looked so elegant on her. She then changed into a more casual outfit perfect for the snowy scenery. The white on white really made her gorgeous red hair pop against the background.
I'm looking forward to meeting their baby girl next month!
Easton is Two! - Cranberry Twp. Birthday Photography
I love when clients return year after year, and I get to see their little ones grow. It was so fun to see Easton again (with his 3-week-old little sister)! He is such a good big brother, as he was super helpful with cleaning up after his photos were done. What a sweet big boy! He is so ready to be two!
Happy 2nd Birthday, Easton!
Maggie is One! - Cranberry Twp. First Birthday Photography
Simple and pretty with purple petals. Miss Maggie wanted to celebrate her 1st birthday with a unique, understated style and theme - and I loved it! Her mommy was even kind enough to let me experiment and put her little sweetie in a milk bath to create a dreamy, opaque white to compliment her purple. I just think of it as baby's first spa day!
It was so fun to play and "think spring" with this January birthday girl.
Teagan is One! - Cranberry Twp. First Birthday Photography
What better theme for a first birthday during this time of year than a Winter One-derland!? Teagan was such a trooper for her birthday session. Despite the cold, snowy day, and feeling under the weather, she still gave me some beautiful smiles.
Happy 1st Birthday, Miss Teagan!
Cameron & Natalie - Cranberry Twp. Newborn Photography
Twins! Cameron and Natalie were born a few days before Christmas, and were my first ever twin session! I visited their home to capture them in their element with their parents, big sister Kendall, and dog Jax. The session was done using all natural light and a "lifestyle" approach to give a more candid look at their life as newborn twins at home. It was fun to capture how much they are loved.
The U Family - Franklin Park Family Photography
This session was so much fun - and my first ever in the snow! This mother son duo were dressed perfectly for the weather, and were so much fun. My favorite part was seeing how much this little boy genuinely loves and admires his mama, even giving her a kiss on the cheek without being told!
The Y Family - Cranberry Twp. Family Photography
The Y Family was excited for their session at the Cranberry Schoolhouse, all decked out for Christmas. The kids were full of energy, which luckily for me, came through in their photos with some sweet smiles.
The D Family - Franklin Park Family Photography
It was a pleasure working with this adorable family. They had an unusually warm December day for their session at Blueberry Hill Park, which was perfect for little Miss Teagan to practice her walking, and show off her baby blues.
The C Family - Cranberry Twp. Family Photography
This beautiful family looked perfectly festive for their Family Mini Session at the Cranberry one-room schoolhouse. Not only are the children adorable, but they were well-behaved and sweet, as well. Santa will surely be making a stop at their home.
The M Family - Coraopolis Family Photography
The M Family was camera-ready in their perfect Fall hues, as we did their session in their beautiful, secluded backyard. It was a pleasure meeting them and capturing the warmth and fun of their family.
Louis Wolfe - Cranberry Twp. Newborn Photography
I'm always captivated by the stories behind baby names. I always ask the parents about the inspiration behind their mini's monikers, and Louis Wolfe's story is so special. His first name is after his great-grandfather, who was a strong influence on Louie's daddy, and his middle name is a reflection of his teacher parents love for literature. Put the two together, and you have this sleepy, smiley sweetheart - Louis Wolfe.
Ana is 1! - Cranberry Twp. First Birthday Photography
I met this super girl when she was still in her mommy's tummy, and had the pleasure of photographing her newborn days, and now her 1st birthday! I love being able to watch babies grow throughout their first year. She is as sweet as the cupcake she smashed all over her face.
Ana turned 1 on Halloween, and fittingly celebrated with a super hero costume party! She carried out the same theme in her photos, and I absolutely love the way they turned out.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl!
Charlotte Alice - Cranberry Twp. Newborn Photography
Baby Charlotte was so smiley and sweet at just 5 days old. After finally getting comfortable, she snuggled up and napped like an angel. It was so fun to photograph her beautiful features, and I can't wait to see her again in 6 months for her next session!
The M Family - Cranberry Twp. Family Photography
It finally feels like Fall with crunchy leaves on the ground and cool breezes in the air, so my requests for Family Portrait sessions are stacking up! I was so excited to capture this adorable family during their Family Mini Session last week. I loved the cool colors they chose for their session! I've known this momma literally since she was her son's age, so it was wonderful to see her again and meet her husband and sweet baby boy.
