Pittsburgh Family Photographer
Family photos that feel like your real life.
You want photos of your family that feel like you — no stiff poses or forced smiles, just the real connection you treasure everyday.
As a Pittsburgh family photographer, I create space for your family to relax, move, and simply be together. Because the magic is already right there!
Family photos don't have to feel overwhelming — that's why I offer a simple, guided experience from start to finish.
You already have so much on your plate, and family photos should never feel like another source of stress.
From the moment you book, I will guide you through each step — from choosing a location to planning wardrobe to preparing for session day. You'll never be left wondering what to do next or second-guessing your decisions.
My goal is simple: to take the mental load off your plate so you can actually enjoy this time with your family!
The experience:
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!
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
q. Do you offer mini sessions?
I do! Pittsburgh family mini sessions are offered each fall, and are a wonderful way to get updated classic portraits for holiday cards. If you'd like first dibs on these sessions, make sure to get on my email list. For everyone who is looking to fully document the season they're in, a full session is the best fit! Full sessions include my styling service, the location of your choice, and of course they can be booked all year long.
Q. what is included in your fee?
You may have noticed that photographers have many different types of pricing structures. From one busy mom to another, I prefer to keep everything as simple as possible. That means that your session fee includes just about everything: my planning assistance, access to my curated client wardrobe offerings, your session time, and high resolution images! If you'd like to add on hair and makeup, that is a separate fee.
q. A family member has special needs. How can you help?
I love working with families of all kinds! I am a pediatric nurse with many years of experience, including medical and behavioral health settings. I want you and your child to know that I will always be respectful and accommodating. I'm also a CapABLE Certified photographer, trained to create a flexible and adaptable experience for each client I work with. All families deserve these timeless images to look back on!
q. Can I include Grandparents or extended familY?
Absolutely! I would love to capture your whole family together. I know how precious extended family photos are to my own mom, and I would love to create a special experience for you. Inquire with me for extended family session details.
