Life's moments are here, then gone...
Make them last forever
Your Pittsburgh Photographer
For Life’s Biggest and Littlest Moments
I’m a Pittsburgh, PA photographer with a love for capturing the moments that have a way of disappearing far too quickly.
The perfectly posed photos are beautiful—but so are the laughs in between, the way your child reaches for your hand, the look between two people who know each other by heart, and all those little details you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’ve changed.
My approach to photography is relaxed, personal, and focused on you. I want your session to feel comfortable and easy—not like you’re spending the entire time worrying about where to put your hands or whether everyone is looking at the camera.
We’ll get those beautiful, frame-worthy portraits, of course. But we’ll also leave room for the real moments. Because those are usually the ones that mean the most.

Family & Children
Because the way they are right now won’t last forever.
Families change. Kids grow. Personalities get bigger, little hands get bigger, and somehow the years move faster than we expect.
My Pittsburgh family and children’s photography sessions are designed to capture your family as you are right now. We’ll create beautiful portraits for the walls, but we’ll also make room for laughter, cuddles, silliness, and genuine connection.
And please don’t worry about your children being perfectly behaved. They’re kids. Let them be kids. I’ll take care of the rest.
Maternity & Newborn
From waiting for you… to finally holding you.
Few chapters change as quickly as this one.
My Pittsburgh maternity and newborn photography captures everything from the beautiful anticipation of pregnancy to those impossibly tiny first days—and even your baby’s incredible first year.
Choose a standalone Newborn Session, capture the journey with a Maternity & Newborn experience, or preserve every stage with a Baby’s First Year Milestone Collection.
Because you may not be able to slow it down…But you can remember it.
Senior Portraits
This moment deserves more than a yearbook photo.
Senior year marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of something completely new.
My Pittsburgh senior photography sessions are personalized around the person in front of my camera—their personality, their interests, and the style that makes them feel most like themselves.
Whether we explore the city, find a beautiful outdoor location, or choose somewhere meaningful to you, the goal is simple: senior pictures that actually feel like you.
Couples & Engagements
Your story deserves to be captured, too.
You don’t need a wedding or a major milestone to have a reason to take pictures together.
Whether you’re newly engaged, celebrating an anniversary, marking five years together—or you simply haven’t had a great picture together since who-knows-when—my Pittsburgh couples and engagement photography sessions are relaxed, fun, and focused on your connection.
Less awkward posing. More of what makes the two of you you.
Pet Photography
Because family isn’t always human.
They’re part of the family, so of course they belong in the pictures.
Whether your pet joins your family session or gets a session all their own, I love capturing the personalities of the four-legged family members who make our lives a little messier—and a whole lot better.
And no, your dog doesn’t have to sit perfectly and look directly at the camera.
Sometimes the chaos makes the best pictures.

Let’s Talk Sessions
Your moments, your schedule, your session.
I offer two convenient photography options—Mini Sessions and Full Sessions—so you can choose the experience that fits you best. Whether you’re looking for something quick and budget-friendly or more time and flexibility, both options are perfect for capturing families, children, seniors, couples, engagements, maternity, pets, and more throughout the Pittsburgh area.
MINI OR FULL: What’s the Difference?
A MINI SESSION includes up to 30 minutes of photography at one of my hand-picked locations, making it a simple, quick, and budget-friendly option.
A FULL SESSION gives you up to 90 minutes at a location of your choice, with more time to relax, explore different groupings, and capture a greater variety of moments.

Which Session Is Right for You?
If you want something quick, easy, and budget-friendly, a Mini Session may be all you need. Up to 30 minutes of photography at one of my hand-picked locations.
If you want more time, more variety, and the freedom to choose a location that feels like you, a Full Session gives us the space to create something a little more personal in a 90 minute time span.
Either way, you don’t have to worry about choosing your favorite images afterward. Both sessions include all of your edited digital images, because I believe the little moments deserve to be kept, too.

Newborn & Milestones
From the waiting… to the wonder…to every little milestone along the way.
There are some seasons of life that seem to pass faster than all the others. The anticipation of meeting your baby. Those impossibly tiny newborn days. The first smiles, first giggles, and the little personality that seems to appear overnight.
Whether you want to capture just one special chapter or preserve the entire journey, these sessions are designed to make sure the moments that pass the fastest are remembered forever.
