Giggles and smiles

Is there nothing better than giggles and smiles from a cutie patootie like this little guy?

He was such a smiley boy and I had a great time getting to know Mom and Dad who are Pittsburgh transplants just like moi ;)

 

 

Mrs. Goodstuff is in town

Another client turned friend, I've been photographing this family since big brother was an only child. Now they live in Florida, but I love to see them when they're in town visiting family.

Mom is one of those people that just has a great positive energy about her.

She has a great website too, check it out www.mrsgoodstuff.com 

 

 

 

Little Muses

I've been photographing this family since big sister 'B' was just a few months old. She's one of my little muses! And little sister 'L' is following in her footsteps.

Cheers, tm

Pittsburgh Baby Photographer {toes}

This is a sneak peek for a client whose daughter has been on my website for a long long time... one of the images from our first session is one of my favorites. So I was thrilled when she called me to come and do a session for her little boy. I love this age... sitting, but not crawling, giggly with full belly laughs and the TOES!!! 

 

 

  

Pittsburgh Child Photographer {Spring}

This spring we had some fun with the daffodil sessions (though it was SO very cold that day.... we had a big heavy warm blanket just off camera to keep the kids from freezing between shots) but they were troopers! Last year it was perfect weather, so you just never know. 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

     

a couple of other spring sessions

I also did a couple of quickie communion sessions for my friend Paula and her friends... her daughter and my daughter have been friends since they were 3 years old. 

 

   

And a lovely family came in from out of town to see their daughter graduate college - Congratulations!

 

 

Mommy & Me Portraits

 

 Happy Mother's Day!

So often we moms forget to include ourselves in the pictures with our children, either because we're the ones taking the pictures, or because we think it's only the kids we're trying to capture. But when your children are older, they'll want to see mom in there too, and not just mom, but them WITH their mom. Those will be the images that mean the most to them.

Mommy & Me mini sessions are the perfect solution to focus on you and your relationship with your little ones (or you with YOUR mom if you'd like)!
 

Special Offer!

Mini sessions are $350 and include:

~ 20 minutes session at your convenience sometime after Mother's Day

~ 5-8 digital files

~ 5x7 print of each digital file

~ complimentary 5x10 desktop storyboard with easel ($65 value)

(Storyboards include 3-4 images from your session and are mounted on 2mm styrene)

Please order by Friday at the latest by calling 412-207-4718 or email me. Checks, Cash, and Visa/MC/Amex accepted. I can get the Gift Certificate to you (or your husband) on or before Saturday.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day!

 

Pittsburgh Child Photographer - Daffodil Days Mini Sessions are here!

SPRING is in the air! Do you feel it? 

So, you all know that I had been searching high and low for a couple of years for a big daffodil field to do spring sessions in.... last year I was driving by Gilfillan Farm and out of the corner of my eye - BOOM - there it was! I went to talk with the nice owners and not only do I get to shoot there year round but we've set up a mini session event as a fundraiser for the farm and the Historical Society of Upper St. Clair (which owns and maintains the farm). 

I added a couple of images at the beginning of my website from a session there last year. 

So here's the info:

Date: Saturday, April 17th (rain date April 24th)

Sessions are $350 and include:

~ 15-20 minute session with me

~ 5+ fully edited digital files plus a professional 5x7 print of each

Half of the proceeds will benefit the Historical Society of Upper St. Clair and the Gilfillan Farm. 

To reserve your session, call Rachel Heins at 412-304-8609 or email her (see ad above for email address). 

Sweet baby G...

I'm so behind on my blog that I haven't even posted images from this family's maternity session yet (they've seen them but I'll still post some here). In fact I have a bunch of sessions I never blogged. 

But I know mom and dad are anxious to see the preview, so here you go! 

Meet beautiful baby G.... (who put my baby whispering powers to the test...)
