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.

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.

Claire’s family prefers a simple & clean portrait session for the newborn portraits, which is perfect for my uncluttered style.  We shot this session in my Pittsburgh photography studio.

Studio portraits always usually look nice in black & white because of the higher contrast & directional lighting.

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!
