Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer
The first days of life are truly special—moments you can never get back. The first couple of months with a new baby often pass in a blur, so having keepsake photos is a beautiful way to freeze time, even if just for a few moments.

Studio Session Made Easy
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.
THE BEST TIME FOR NEWBON PHOTOGRAPHY IS DURING THE FIRST 8-20 DAYS AFTER BIRTH, BABIES ARE USUALLY MORE SLEEPY AND EASIER TO POSE WITH LONGER SLEEPY STRETCHES OF TIME..
