Natural family, newborn, maternity, and children’s portraits for Plum area families.
Plum Family Photographer
Families grow quickly, and the small stages often pass before we realize they are gone. I photograph Plum families in a relaxed and guided way so you can enjoy time together while your children simply get to be themselves. My goal is to create meaningful portraits that feel natural and become part of your daily life at home.
Many of the families I work with are looking for more than a quick photo session. They want photographs that feel connected, look beautiful on their walls, and preserve the personality of their children at this moment in time.
Parents often tell me they worry their children will not cooperate or that they themselves feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. My sessions are calm and gently directed so you never have to wonder what to do. I guide you through natural interactions that allow real expressions to happen without pressure.
You do not need to know how to pose, and your children do not need to sit still. The session follows your family’s energy so everyone stays relaxed.

Beautiful & fun sessions that result in artwork on your walls
Many Plum families choose outdoor portraits because children can move freely and enjoy the experience. I photograph sessions at nearby parks and nature areas around Plum, Fox Chapel, and Oakmont, selecting locations with soft light and open space for children to explore.
Sessions are typically scheduled near sunset when the light is warm and flattering. I guide your family the entire time so you always feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera.
These sessions create warm and relaxed portraits full of personality and connection.
outdoor family sessions near Plum
Newborn sessions are available either in your home or in a natural-light studio. My approach is gentle and baby-led, focusing on connection rather than complex posing. Your baby stays comfortably in your arms, in a bassinet, or resting naturally while I document the early days of your family together.
In-home sessions allow you to remain comfortable and relaxed, while studio sessions provide a simple and quiet environment with beautiful light. Both options create meaningful images that preserve the beginning of your child’s story.

I also offer indoor studio portraits for families who prefer a clean and timeless setting. Rather than photographing every session in a single studio, I reserve beautiful natural-light studios throughout the Pittsburgh area so we can choose a location and style that fits your family.
Studio sessions are especially helpful for young children, winter sessions, and milestone portraits. With minimal distractions, children relax quickly and parents often love how easily these portraits fit into their home decor.

Family sessions are most often scheduled in spring and fall, while studio portraits are available year-round. Newborn sessions are best reserved during pregnancy to ensure availability around your due date.
Many families return yearly or choose milestone ages such as turning five, starting kindergarten, or double-digit birthdays.
