PITTSBURGH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | LIFESTYLE FAMILY SESSIONS
Want to press pause on this beautiful (yet wildly chaotic) season of life?
Whether you’re soaking in the bliss of your first baby, knee-deep in raising little ones or watching your babies grow up, these sessions are meant to record this snapshot of life.
You don’t need to worry about everyone cooperating perfectly. You don’t need to stress about what to wear. You don’t need to plan every detail. I’ve got you covered.
All you have to do is enjoy your family and let me do the rest.
Danielle was so great with our 3-year-old! She made him feel comfortable and got him to smile (which is not an easy feat).

FAMILY SESSIONS ARE PERFECT FOR YOU IF YOU WANT...
- More than the standard "set" of family photos.
- Time and space to allow your kids to warm up to be themselves.

- Access to booking the beauty of golden hour.
- A full gallery that captures it all including the in-between moments.

Playful prompts, not posed.
The most genuine moments come from letting kids be themselves. Kids don’t sit still, so neither should your photos. Family photo sessions are silly, playful and full of energy to match your kids vibe.

Locations for your family.
The city of Pittsburgh has a beautiful array of locations for every family. From flower-filled fields, historic architecture to city vibes or even at-home. A full family session gives you the option to choose a location that fits your family best.


Flexibility to capture it all.
Full sessions come with a much more relaxed vibe, allowing us to take the lead from your little one. Family sessions give us the flexbility of time to record all the moments, big, small and in-between.

Got Questions?
Photos are an investment. These are memories you will likely hang in your home for years to come. I want you to feel confident in knowing what to expect. Here's some answers to common questions.
Absolutely! Our fur babies are family too and they are more than welcome to join you whether it’s an on-location family photoshoot or an in-home session. If we are on-location, I usually just have to confirm that dogs are permitted but in most cases they are. If you can, sometimes it helps to enlist a friend or family member to assist!
Yes! I will usually help erase or minimize any non-permanent marks as needed. This could include acne that snuck up, a scratch or dry skin. In most cases, it’s a simple retouch and it’s included with your session. In the event of the need for more advanced editing, I’ll chat with you about retouching options for you to decide.
I understand that curveballs come all the time. In the event of bad weather or an unforeseen circumstance that
conflicts with your scheduled photo session, I am happy to reschedule!
The ideal time for photos is during golden hour. This occurs 1-2 hours prior to the sun setting. This time of day will give us the prettiest light. I understand however this might not be ideal for little ones. In this case we can easily move to a morning session or move up the start time. Happy kiddos are much more important than the perfect time!
All sessions will get photos within 2 weeks from the session date. If you sign the model release and approve, you will get a link to your sneak peek blog post within 3 days after your session. The sneak peek includes 5-7 favorite photos from your session. You can share this on social media or share the link with friends and family. Your gallery will be delivered via email and where you can download your full gallery with one click.
Yes, of course. I offer an easy and convenient way to order directly from your gallery. I offer high-quality, affordable, quality prints, enlargements, canvases and other items. These items are printed at a professional photo lab that I highly recommend.
Regardless of where you choose to print your images, I encourage you to not only print them and enjoy them but be sure to use a professional lab. Please do not use retail locations such as Walgreens or Walmart as their machines are not consistently calibrated to produce professional quality images.
These are your photos. If you want to keep them private and not shown on social media, I fully understand and respect that. During the booking process, you will find a model release. You can decline to share and I will honor your request.
Kids grow up too fast!
As a mom of two little ones, I know how fleeting these early years are. I also know how important it is to capture it all before these days are just memories. I’d love to work with you and your family to help record this season of life.

“She was great with my 2 year old who was very camera shy…
Our photos are beautiful and look natural and candid, which was exactly what I wanted.”
