Pittsburgh Maternity Photographer

Maternity photos as beautiful as what your body is doing.

Pregnancy is extraordinary — and fleeting. The bump that feels like it's been there forever will be gone before you know it, and what you're left with are the photos that prove it actually happened. As a Pittsburgh maternity photographer, I create a relaxed, beautiful experience that makes you feel as stunning as you look — so you can look back on this season with nothing but wonder.

Maternity sessions should feel like a celebration — not a chore.

You're growing a human. You're tired, you're busy, and getting dressed is already an event. The last thing you need is a photo session that adds to the stress. I take care of every detail — wardrobe, location, posing — so all you have to do is show up and let me do the rest. My biggest priority is making sure you feel and look absolutely beautiful, because you are — and your photos should prove it.

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.

"Kelli is amazing. I feel like I’m pretty picky when it comes to my pictures but I’m also super awkward. She made it so fun for my kids and myself and the pictures looked so natural and beautiful!"

— Sierra

"Kelly was wonderful. She was patient and got my 3 year to cooperate better than I could! She found fantastic backgrounds, lighting and natural expressions for our shoot - I will treasure these shots for years to come."

Frequently Asked Questions

q. When should I schedule my maternity session?

The sweet spot is between 28 and 35 weeks. Your bump is beautifully round, and you're still comfortable enough to enjoy the session. I'd recommend booking by 20 weeks to secure your preferred date and time of day.

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. I'm not sure I'll feel comfortable in front of the camera.

That's exactly why you hire me. My entire approach is built around making you feel at ease — I'll guide every pose, I'll make you laugh, and I'll make sure you look stunning in every single frame. You don't need to be a model. You just need to show up and enjoy!

q. Can my partner and kids be included?

Absolutely — and honestly, I love it when they are. Some of the most beautiful maternity images include the whole family. We can do a mix of solo mama shots and family moments so you have both.
