Pittsburgh's In-Home Newborn Photographer
serving the greater pittsburgh area
Real. Tender. True to your family.
Welcoming your baby into the world is one of the most sacred seasons you’ll ever walk through. Your home, where you rocked through early contractions, folded tiny onesies, and settled into life as a family, holds the quiet beauty of this chapter. As Pittsburgh’s in-home newborn photographer, I create space for you to slow down, breathe deeply, and be fully present in these fleeting early days.
My approach is calm, intentional, and rooted in storytelling. No stiff posing, no pressure, and no need to “perform.” Just meaningful, natural moments captured in the home where your love already lives.
Why In-Home Newborn Photography Matters
Your Home Is Part of the Story
The cozy nursery you carefully prepared. The soft morning light in your bedroom. The couch where you’ve spent hours holding your baby close. These spaces are woven into the memory of your earliest days together. Photographs taken here will always feel more personal and honest than studio portraits.
Comfort for You + Your Baby
There’s no rushing, no travel, and no packing a diaper bag. Everything you need is right in arm’s reach. You can take breaks, feed your baby, change outfits, or simply settle together while I quietly document the moments in between.
Authentic, Joy-Filled Images
In-home newborn photography lets your family interact naturally, which is where the magic happens. Soft exchanges, sleepy stretches, tiny fingers curled around yours…these timeless photographs become heirlooms your family will cherish forever.
A Beautiful Home Deserves Beautiful Imagery
If you love natural light, warm textures, thoughtful design, and spaces filled with meaning, in-home sessions elevate your images. Your home becomes the backdrop, a place unique to you, reflecting your style and creating photographs with texture, depth, and soul.
What to Expect at your In-Home Newborn Session
A Relaxed, One-Hour Session
Your session is unhurried and peaceful. I gently guide when needed but mostly let your family be yourselves. There’s no pressure for perfection, just honest moments captured beautifully.
Simple Prep, Real Connection
I’ll send you a prep guide, styling assistance, and tips for using the natural light in your home. Most families are surprised at how easy it is, we often use just one or two well-lit rooms.
My Editing Style
Timeless, true-to-life color. Soft but intentional. A style that honors the authenticity of your home while highlighting the emotion of these early days.
FAQ
When should we book?
I've had clients contact me as soon as they find out they are expecting! But most families secure their session during the second or third trimester to ensure availability. Newborn sessions typically take place within the first 2–3 weeks after birth, but I’m flexible depending on how you’re feeling. Healing from birth can be no joke, so don't force yourself before you are ready.
What time of day do sessions take place?
I always recommend scheduling your session during the morning hours. Let's face it, our kids act completely different in the morning than in the evening. Plus, you won't need to worry about running into the "witching hour" with a newborn, especially if you are cluster feeding.
What if my baby is fussy?
"The baby whisperer" is a common nickname I receive when I come over. With two kids of my own, I know a thing or two. When you're feeling overwhelmed about your baby screaming, I am here to step in and lend a hand while you catch a breather.
Fussiness is also completely normal. I build plenty of time into your session for feeding, soothing, and snuggles. Some of the sweetest photos happen during these quiet moments.
Does my home have to be perfect?
Absolutely not. I focus on clean, bright pockets of your home—often near windows or in rooms with soft natural light. A quick tidy of surfaces is plenty. You do not need a magazine-ready house. I’ll guide you on light, simple decluttering, and the best spaces to use. A made bed, an uncluttered nightstand, and a room with good window light are often all we need.
Can siblings or pets be included?
Yes! Your family story is complete because of all the people (and pets!) who love your baby. They’re welcome to join in for part of the session as long as they are well-behaved and okay with strangers.
How long does it take to get our photos?
You can expect a full gallery within 30 days of your session. I usually post previews on my social media channels - don't worry, if you do not post your children's faces online, I always respect your wishes when asked.
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes! Your gallery includes access to my professional print shop, where you can order high-quality albums, framed prints, and other heirloom pieces designed to last for generations. These products are created with archival materials (not the quick-fade prints you’ll find at big-box stores) so your images will stay vibrant, sharp, and true to color for years to come.
Whether you’re looking for a statement wall piece or a timeless album that tells your family’s story, I’m happy to help you choose the perfect way to display your images.
