Guided family portraits that feel natural, calm, and meant to live on your walls.
Family Photographer
in Fox Chapel, Pa
I am a boutique family photographer serving Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania and the surrounding communities. My sessions are designed for families who want more than a quick photo session. From clothing planning to selecting artwork for your home, I guide you through the entire process so you never feel unsure of what to do.
Families can choose outdoor portraits at one of my favorite nearby locations or a relaxed studio session created especially for children and growing families. Many of the parents I photograph return each year, documenting their family as their children grow and change. The goal is not just beautiful images, but meaningful artwork that becomes part of your home and daily life.
Fox Chapel is a wonderful place to raise a family, and that sense of community naturally shapes the portrait experience. Many parents appreciate choosing a photographer close to home so sessions feel easy rather than rushed. Without a long drive into the city, children stay relaxed and parents can enjoy the experience.
The quiet neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, and beautiful green spaces create the perfect setting for natural family portraits. Sessions are designed to feel like time spent together rather than a formal appointment, allowing genuine connection and personality to come through in your photographs.

Local Portrait Sessions
Beautiful & fun sessions that result in artwork on your walls
Outdoor family sessions are especially popular with Fox Chapel families because of the beautiful locations nearby. I guide you through gentle posing and interaction so you never feel awkward, while still allowing room for natural moments and connection.
Some favorite locations include Hartwood Acres, with its tall trees and seasonal color, and nearby park spaces that offer soft evening light and open areas for children to explore. These settings photograph beautifully throughout the year and create timeless images that reflect this stage of your family’s life.
Sessions are scheduled near sunset when the light is soft and flattering, creating warm, natural portraits filled with movement and personality.

For families who prefer a quieter setting, I also offer studio family and children’s portraits. The studio is designed to feel calm and comfortable, allowing children time to warm up and parents to relax. Many families choose the studio for younger children, winter sessions, or a classic look that coordinates easily with their home.
Studio sessions are gently guided and unhurried. I help with natural posing and interaction so portraits feel connected and authentic rather than stiff or overly formal. The simple environment keeps the focus on expression, personality, and relationships.

what to expect
After booking, I help you prepare with clothing guidance and location recommendations so everything feels simple and organized.
Planning
Your session is relaxed and fully guided. I gently direct you into natural positions and interactions so you never feel unsure, while children are free to move and be themselves.
The Session
After your session, I help you choose your favorite images and decide how they will live in your home. Families often select framed artwork, albums, or matted prints so their photographs become part of everyday life.
Artwork
Many Fox Chapel families first contact me while expecting a baby. I also photograph maternity sessions and in-home newborn sessions, allowing families to document each stage of life with a consistent style.
Newborn sessions take place in your home so parents and babies remain comfortable. The experience is calm and baby-led, with time for feeding, soothing, and natural interaction. As children grow, many families continue with yearly portraits, creating a collection of images that tells the story of their family over time.
