Pittsburgh Child Photographer | Lifestyle Family Session

I was happy to be shooting many lifestyle family portrait sessions this winter! This is such a sweet and different type of portrait session than the outdoor fall family sessions that are so very popular with my clients.

We shot this session on a gorgeous snowy day so the light was bouncing all around the room and I used only window light for this session. I almost always use some sort of supplemental fill lighting bu child jumping on a bed

This mom has done several sessions with me in the past and is a pro at styling, she had a simple, neutral, fresh backdrop ready for me in one of the bedrooms, perfect for a little jumping on the bed action!

Even though it was the middle of the day, the sun was low enough and the snow reflective enough that I got a couple of cute shots of these two outside, love it.

Thank you C family! I always love seeing you. 🙂

This little guy had not one but two grandmas in town (on a resident and one Pittsburgh for an extended visit)! All the grandparents fussed over this little sweetie, who is full of personality and expression at just a week old! So many smiles, which of course they are are not “real” smiles at this age but I beg to differ!

Wonderful meeting you and your loving family, baby Imran!

Pittsburgh Photographers | Newborn Baby Dylan

by Missy•0

Adorable baby Dylan has just about the sweetest and most adorable big brother in the world, so he has a good example set for him as he grows into a little person! His brother Caden is just a huge love bug!

This cute blue onesie fit him just right and I think it looked perfect on the irate bedspread in mom & dad’s room. One of the first things I do when I arrive for a lifestyle newborn session is look around the house for brightly-lit areas with interesting or simple backgrounds for portraits. We usually end up in the master bedroom at some point!

We got these timeless white portraits on the floor in the bedroom–very simple! Window light and a blanket, done.

This background was actually a red Christmas blanket and a green wrap (since Dylan was born near the holidays) but I thought it looked super cool in black & white!

The men! Cute!

Lucky to get this babe with his eyes open, he was so sleepy and content!

Portraits in front of the Christmas tree are so fun!! I have a holiday baby (who just turned 6!!) so I am nostalgic for this type of image.

Baby Dylan has the cutest nautical-themed baby nursery! Navy blue, lime green, grey, and white. So classic!

Thanks H family–I loved shooting your sweet boys!
