What season of life are you in?

Expecting your first child and excited to document all the milestones of this beautiful new chapter for your family?

Knee-deep in raising little ones and caught between enjoying watching them grow but wanting to slow down time?

Watching your once babies grow and flourish but also knowing they are still little and you will someday miss this season too?

Whatever the case, I've got you!
I'm Danielle, a Pittsburgh family and newborn photographer.

My most important job however is being a wife and a mom to two (not-so-little) ones.

If you are in a season with little ones, I’ve been there. There is SOOO much goodness to capture during these early years.

I would love to help you document and capture all the things you want to remember the most when you look back at this time.

Thank you again for the opportunity and I look forward to continuing the conversation.

Sessions with me are relaxed and casual.

By incorporating playful fun into your shoot, you can simply enjoy your family while I do the work. Candid moments will always take priority over finding the perfect pose.

Got wiggly little ones? Don’t stress! Many parents worry that their little one
will be “too wild” or not cooperate but please don’t stress! I will be able to capture their personalities and the moments you want to remember most.

After you book your session here's what comes next:

1. Location

I have an extensive list of locations in and around the city that will offer you many options for capturing your family best. We will work together to pick the perfect spot to do your photos.

2. What to Wear

Next up comes styling! You will get access to my online styling service to help to choose the best outfits for your session and I'll help you coordinate and choose the final ones if you need!

3. Photos

You will get a sneak peek a few days after your session and full gallery will be delivered within 2 weeks. From there you can print and order your favorites to decorate your home and gift your memories.

FAMILY PHOTOS

A Family Session is perfect for families, especially those with little ones. The longer session gives us the opportunity to let the kids be themselves and also gives the time to take photos of each of them individually as well as the various pairings — dad and kids, mom and kids, siblings…etc.

EXTENDED FAMILY PHOTOS

This session is perfect for capturing the dynamics of your extended family. The longer session gives us the opportunity to capture everyone and allow the kids to be themselves. It also gives us the time we need to take photos of each individual family as well as all the various pairings. Extended family price includes 2 households + 1 set of grandparents. Additional households can be added.

She has such a calm and kind demeanor, while being patient and professional the whole time. My 3 year old daughter took to her right away and didn’t act at all shy. Best of all, the photos turned out so great - we will cherish them forever.

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.

She was so easy to talk to and was very organized and flexible. She listened to what we wanted and had GREAT ideas during the session. We received our photos quickly and were better than we could have imagined. I have found our family photographer!

Danielle was communicative and flexible. She was wonderful and understanding about working with young toddlers and honestly has such a friendly and casual (but professional) atmosphere at the shoot. I absolutely love the photos she took and I'm so glad we chose her.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of day for outdoor photos?

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!

What if it rains or we need to reschedule?

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!

Can we include our dog in our Family session?

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!

How long will it take to get our photos back?

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.

Can we purchase prints, canvases, albums and other products?

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.

Are you able to do some light retouching if needed?

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.
