offerings
The result? Family photos that feel like your life right now: connected, honest, and worth treasuring.
You already have so much on your plate: full days, kids who need you, and a life that moves quickly. You want photos of your family — you want to remember these beautiful moments that so easily get lost in the chaos. But planning a session can feel like yet one more task to manage.
Most families don't put off photos because they don't matter... they hesitate because they're wondering: what if my kids don't cooperate? What do we wear? How do we fit this into our schedule? What if it's stressful, or the photos don't turn out how we hoped?
That's where I come in. I'll guide you through every step — from planning and styling to actually enjoying your photo session — so you can show up, enjoy your people, and trust that everything else is taken care of.

My Approach
I've designed a seamless, stress-free experience for busy families. Overwhelm should never stand in the way of preserving your precious memories!
From choosing a location, to planning your family's wardrobe, prepping for your session, selecting prints, and everything in between — I'm here to take the effort and endless decisions off your plate.
I promise you this: your family can show up to our session as your true selves, and it won't faze me one bit. Between my years as a mom, photographer, and pediatric nurse, I see through any chaos that may get thrown my way, right to the beauty of your unique family.
I work with families in Pittsburgh, Mt. Lebanon, South Hills, Bethel Park, and beyond.
THE PROCESS
tangible artwork
My sessions include digital images, but we won't stop there — I am here to help you get your memories preserved in albums or wall art so they can be enjoyed again and again each day.
location options
I love shooting outdoors and in my clients' homes, and I also have a beautiful studio space for those who prefer another option.
styling services
I offer client wardrobe options for women, children, and newborns, as well as styling direction for dads. I also have a wonderful hair & makeup artist for the ultimate hands-off experience for moms!
Newborns
You're juggling doctor appointments, unending laundry, and a healing body — all on less sleep than ever before. You want photos with your precious baby, but worry they'll cry too much, or that you won't find anything to fit your postpartum body.
That's where I come in. My studio means you don't have to tidy your house. My wardrobe offerings mean you don't have to shop. And my background in nursing means you know your baby will be safely posed and cared for. You don't have to figure any of this out on your own — I'll guide you every step of the way!
Maternity
If you're like many expectant mothers, you may not feel your most beautiful in this moment. I know firsthand that it's a little harder to feel pretty when you can't reach your feet or fit into your favorite clothes!
But the wonderful truth is that this season of motherhood is stunning. The curve of a full belly. The glow of a woman growing new life. I absolutely love documenting this season for mothers and showing them how beautiful they truly are.
For families wanting to document the full journey to welcoming their baby, my collections are designed for the most seamless experience!
Families
The days often fly by in a blur of chaos, but moments of magic still stop you in your tracks: your child's full-belly laughter, the adorably mispronounced words, the way their tiny arms fit perfectly around your neck, and the sound of little snores as they sleep in your arms.
My purpose is making sure that these moments of magic aren't lost in the busyness of surviving each day — I'm here to give you a beautiful way to hold them forever.
Your family, just as you are right now, is so worth celebrating!
Heirloom Portraits
Most of us look at our children and think we won't possibly forget their sweet details from each stage: the way their hair curls around their neck, or their mischievous smile, and the long lashes framing big eyes. The truth is that change happens so slowly — yet surely — that we don't even realize we've already forgotten.
Heirloom portraits are a beloved southern tradition designed to preserve each season with simplicity and intention. These sessions focus solely on your child, and clean, timeless styling keeps the attention where it belongs. These classic portraits truly are an heirloom that you'll be proud to display now and for decades to come.
