Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer
Those first days pass in a blur of exhaustion and uncertainty, and the thought of getting your newborn to “cooperate” for photos can feel overwhelming
With specialized training in newborn safety and posing, I gently guide every moment with patience and intention, reading your baby’s needs and never rushing the process. Often called the “baby whisperer,” I create a calm, fully supported experience so you don’t have to stress—I handle everything while you simply relax, knowing your baby is safe and these fleeting moments are being beautifully preserved.
THAT'S WHERE I STEP IN

faq's
Our studio provides all props, including headbands, wraps, outfits, backdrops, blankets, bonnets, layering pieces, and more. You don't need to bring anything except your baby—unless you'd like to include any sentimental heirlooms you'd like to incorporate.
When you arrive, we'll begin preparing your baby for the session, which means all clothing will be removed except for the diaper. The studio will be kept warm, especially the blankets and props, to ensure your baby stays comfortable. Keeping the environment warm helps your baby stay calm during posing. A peaceful setting is key to keeping your little one relaxed. I recommend that parents come in loose, comfortable clothing or layers, so you can adjust as needed.
