YES ! WE ARE HAVING A CONTEST… BUT  I’M NOT GONNA TELL YOU UNTIL THE END!  SO KEEP READING …

When I recently was asked by  M I N I K I N*  to photograph one of their new European lines by German Designer Lieschen Mueller, I had no idea it would transpire into an incredible editorial opportunity with Child Fashion Magazine Babiekins ! When we first developed the concept for this shoot and sent it off to M I N I K I N, we were thrilled that they fell in love with the idea.. from there we decided to send the concept out for  editorial consideration, and were beyond excited that Babiekins loved our finals and chose to put us in Issue 10 !  

There is no question, this line is just a photographers dream to photograph, as is so many  other uniquely crafted pieces that  M I N I K I N * carries.. but we knew when we took on this project, we had to select models, and develop a concept that supported their brand .  From their we had a casting call,  and were blown away by the entries for this project.  The girls that were selected really pulled off the overall look and mood we were seeking for this!  To the parents of these darling little girls who made the trip in, and hung with us for the day, Thank you for taking the time to be apart of this with us!  

I am super grateful to have such a talented crew by my side :

Summertime Sweetness | Pittsburgh Children’s Photographer

I so enjoyed this evening with this family.  These girls were such sweethearts, and that is at no surprise after spending an evening with their parents!  We had such a beautiful night to photograph these two little lovelies… It certainly all came together quite nicely! It was my first time this summer shooting up at Hartwood Acres, although this location has been a regular for me in past season… i have somewhat ventured into some knew areas around the Pittsburgh area this year…   Although, i did capture them in some of my usual favorite spots, I found a couple new ones to fall in love with that just might drag me back there for another shoot before the weather turns!!  A special thank you to Lisa’s mini mad hattery for the darling dresses and headpieces she sent us for our second styling with these two sweethearts.. enjoy the sneak peek!

This was definitely one of those photo sessions where the stars just aligned.. The kids were so happy and excited to be photographed , the light was spectacular, their darling dresses by Matilda Jane Clothing just fit Picture Perfect with this location.. as soon as I saw were the shoot was headed we went from a mini session to a full blown regular session fairly quickly!! Their were just two many shots not to share with this one.. !! This is the second year I photographed these two.. and every time I do I cant help but think about my two girls that happened to be the same ages as these girls, have many of the same features and similar personalities.. I think because of that, these two won me over the moment I met them!! …If you dont remember that session.. remember the little dalmation ??? My Mentees will know what I’m talking about.. I tell the story at all of my workshops! Hehe! Anyway, in addition to these two being super sweet to work with …their mom is just super Fab. So most certainly she has much to do with how wonderful these two little beauties are!! One of these days we will get the four girls together … I have a feeling when we do they will be forever friends! 

I am just giddy over these ones!…

Fierce. Pittsburgh Children’s Photographer

Small and mighty she was even at weeks old, and as I have watched her grow she is not only still small and mighty… but fierce!  I love her free spirit and willingness to explore… I could not have picked a better spot to take her for her photographs!  After about an hour of shooting in some beautiful little spots at this location.. we found an unexpected surprise.. its so funny, because right before I left I happen to grab an additional outfit to take a long and some beautiful boho pieces by my dear friend and fabulous designer Sweet Penelope Knits.. As we were walking along a path heading towards the other end of the location, a perfectly designed authentic fort right there in the woods with spectacular backlighting.. the silhouettes were just fantastic.. and this little one seemed to be right in her element, collecting pine cones and tickling us with tree branches as she giggled away another good hour while i snapped endless photographs of her.. I took a little different direction with how I processed these images…based on the mood that was felt at that moment, I wanted to make sure you experienced the little been of heaven I did!
