Monkey Business | Pittsburgh Professional Commercial Photography

 How cool to be able to watch this family grow up. I met this guy in his mommas belly almost exactly a year ago. Now to see him today- so happy and content. He was just a joy to spend the day with.

His mom really knows how to dress this kiddo. Of course I always have some ideas, but I never have a doubt that she is going to bring something fabulous.

Now lets quit monkeying around and get to the pictures!

 

 

Seriously- we could have left after these images : – )…..He totally rocked it! haha

This was one of those sessions that I couldn’t sleep the night before ; – )

One of my favorite clients. I have shot little Miss three times now and her personality just gets sweeter and sweeter! She has such a pleasant demeanor- but of course as her parents are just lovely people, beautiful on the inside and out. They are passing down some wonderful traits to their little beauty.

This session was perfection. The clothing- lighting- location- tone- everything. Well- it was like 30 degrees outside…that I could have changed, but everything else was just pure magic.

These first set of images were shot in an amazing artist’s loft. He was so generous to open up his treasure to us. Every corner I turned something beautiful was before me. You can even see an original right there on the floor behind her.

Then we moved on to this old house with amazing light and a Teddy Bear orphanage- Nah, not really , but it looks like it, huh?

 

And off for some family time…….

I literally squealed when I shot this!

And to finish the night off some shot of mom and dad.

I just loved watching their natural interaction.Beautiful people.

As always – thank you for looking.

I am honored to be able to continue to shoot amazing families like this.

little munchkins with a mohawk | Pittsburgh Professional Photography

Kind of seems crazy that each year as the holidays approach the thought of shooting my own family is dreadful- so this year I took a different approach to it. No fancy clothes- well, maybe on the baby…she doesn’t talk back yet..lol- No sit here and pose or do this or that and guess what? You only want to shoot for 20 minutes, okay?! I tried to capture my own little munchkins as they are.

My oldest- hates the thought of taking pictures, but once he is there he LOVES it an totally pulls out the GQ moves.

My middle- never ever stops moving- won’t look at me to save her life and is generally just the goofiest little thing!

The baby- super sweet, photogenic, and pretty much the cutest baby out there.

So there ya have it my little imperfect perfect family.

Yep- she just mooned me!

Told ya she was crazy!

Check out those thighs!

Jamie Siever - November 28, 2011 - 8:45 am

Blessed | Pittsburgh Professional Photographer

  What an honor…….I was asked again by the amazing Heather of Weddings By Heather  to shoot some images for the family Christmas card.

She is one of those people that gives without expecting anything in return:

“Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked.”

Luke 6:35

Okay- not that I am her enemy : – ), but hey she is always helping other local photographers……..potentially her competition. She has instilled in me a sense of sharing with other in our field. When I was first starting out her and another great photographer David Burke would help guide me.

They give me confidence and encouragement, along with some great technical and practical knowledge. I am forever grateful.

Onto the pictures!  We were blessed with amazingly beautiful sunshine, buuuut it was a tad chilly. I am pretty sure we almost lost little mister to frostbite.

So even with an abbreviated session I think we captured this family just beautifully. They really are beautiful on the inside and out!

Thank you again Heather & Co.

“No one was harmed in the making of these images ”

Leeann Marie - November 21, 2011 - 10:08 am

Oh my goodness, Mister is just SO adorable! Love these, Tiff. :)
