Pittsburgh Family Photographer

For busy moms who want to hold beautiful photos in their hands & hang them on their walls.

Pittsburgh • Mt. Lebanon • Bethel Park • Upper St. Clair

I get it - family photos seem like work. It's work to wrangle the kids, pick out outfits, drag a less than enthusiastic Dad to a session. I've been there!
My mission is to make family photos easy, relaxed and beautiful. We will get the photos we need and let you go. I have dresses for Mom, clothing for kids and specific clothing recommendations for Dad. I even have a professional hair & makeup artist I work with if you are interested.
Sessions start with a few traditional photos - everyone looking at the camera. Next, I guide you through a fun session of games, tickles, twirling, playing with trucks & rocks, picking flowers, whatever it is that sparks your kids' interest. I have 3 kids and I'm a nurse with Pediatric & Adolescent Behavioral Health experience. I promise I can handle your crew! Let's have fun and capture those beautiful images you want to hang on your walls. 

Let's make it Relaxed & Easy.

When was the last time you had family photos taken?

LOVE NOTE FROM Sara

Q: How Will i receive my photos from the session?

Kids almost never fully cooperate and that's okay! The best way to approach this is to just let them be kids and keep smiling. Sometimes our best bet is to take the photos with everyone together and looking at the camera first. Sometimes that happens later in the session. We will go with the flow.  I will  get beautiful images you will want to hang on your walls!

Q: What if my kids don't cooperate?

SEND AN INQUIRY
