I offer unique storytelling sessions that capture relaxed family photos along with candid pictures that celebrate the beauty of unposed family life.
Photo sessions with me are as stress free as they can get… you do your thing as I trail along, and then we have the flexibility to do lightly directed family portraits once the kids have warmed up to the camera and the lighting is perfect.
I am happy to offer suggestions for activities or locations around the Pittsburgh area... Your session doesn't have to be at your home or a park; let’s talk about a meaningful outing or place that is perfect for you!
(Just interested in a few portraits? A mini session might be a great fit! )

My goal is to make the process of taking your family photos both simple and easy. Photography sessions with me are playful, and ultimately you end up with family heirlooms that you will treasure. Beautiful images that together tell the story of your life!
I was a professional photographer long before I was a mom, so it made sense that I would be the one to take on the role of documenting our family life. And I do it with the fervor of a woman who feels her kids slipping away from her, because as my oldest steps right into his teen years, I can’t help but hold my youngest *that* much tighter.
Damn, it’s too short.
In photographing your family, I do not just provide beautiful smiling portraits… including an extended candid photo period is intentional! As your kids adjust to having me around and your interactions become more natural, that is where I find the pictures that hold your memories.
I am very much looking forward to photographing your story.
Family photography sessions start at $320+tax, though most of my clients invest $700-1000 once they purchase products: prints, albums, and/or digital files.
Rates are for up to 2 hours of coverage. This means you could bring me in to document the story of your daughter's first birthday party, or just a regular afternoon at home. Your call!
Reach out for more details and I'm happy to send a Client Guide your way.
"We had the BEST experience with Pam!! Beyond her incredible photography skills (she is truly exceptional), she made the entire experience so comfortable for my family. Despite an unhappy kiddo - Pam was able to capture the true essence of our kids and the crazy of our family. Thank you Pam -- we can't wait to do it again!"

When you're looking for a photographer for family memories that will last generations, my goal is simple: create images you'll treasure forever without making the process feel forced or uncomfortable. Kids shouldn't have to hold stiff poses or produce fake smiles – they should be free to play, laugh, and show their true personalities.
I bring my camera to where your family feels most at home – whether that's literally in your living room, at your favorite local park, or another special place that holds meaning for you. As an experienced family photographer , I've found that familiar environments help everyone, especially little ones, relax and enjoy our time together.
Whether you're celebrating a new addition, marking a milestone, or simply wanting to document your family as it is right now, I'd love to be your Pittsburgh family photographer. Let's create beautiful, meaningful images that you'll treasure for generations to come.
