Adalynn at 11 Months by Pittsburgh Baby Photographer Leavell Photography

Hi everyone!  We had so much fun recently capturing in-home portraits of Adalynn that we just had to share!  Adalynn is 11 months old at the time of this session, and while she was a little suspicious at first, she soon warmed to the idea of having her photo taken.  We’ve always found that young children in particular really respond well to being photographed on “their own turf,” and that’s why an in-home portrait session can work so very well for babies and toddlers like Adalynn.

 

Check out some of our favorites from the session below, then head over to View Photos to see the entire session!

Baby Will – Sneak Peek!

More fun with Baby Will and his family!  The remaining images will be available on our website soon!

Playing with the Viewmaster.  She’s a bit too small to fit over her face, so she looked through one side and peeked out with the other. :)

 

The happy family!  Just after this image was taken, Evelyn crawled over to poke me, her favorite game.  She’ll poke you with her finger in the belly (or any part of you she can reach), and exclaim “POKE!” before dissolving into giggles.

 

We took a similar image of Evelyn when she was born.  Evelyn now has her new “big girl” room, and her little brother inherited her old room.

 

I don’t think Will is too sure about this photo session!  I love his little “Elvis” face!

 

Sleepy baby!

 

Little toes! I love taking closeups of a baby’s toes, hands, eyes, nose, etc.

Evelyn thought tickling her brother was hilarious!

More exciting things planned for the blog later this week!

Until then,

Baby Will’s Teaser image!

We had so much fun at Will’s newborn session. Baby Will was very well behaved, as was his big sister, Evelyn! It’s hard to believe how fast little Evelyn is growing up; we also had the privilege to photograph Evelyn’s newborn session as well as several sessions throughout her first year. We’re looking forward to more sessions with little Will and his family!

More photos from the session will be available soon!  Until then, here’s just a little taste!

Erin’s Maternity Shoot Sneak Peek!

Erin and Steve’s family portraits are now available!  The shoot took place mostly in their basement, with some additional shots in their daughter’s bedroom, a few in their bedroom, and a few outside their home as well. The shoot was a combination 18-month shoot for their first child (Evelyn), maternity photos for Erin (their next little bundle of joy is due any day now – yay!), as well as family portraits of the whole gang.  Evelyn was very cooperative with us, and we were able to get some great family photos before her nap.  Once she was tucked in (after a little playtime), we focused our attention on the beautiful mommy-to-be who was absolutely glowing.  We were able to try some fun new poses with Erin and Steve, who were high school sweethearts.  The couple got married in June 2008 and welcomed Evelyn into their family in August 2009.  Baby Will is expected to make his arrival any day now (hopefully sooner rather than later for Erin’s sake!).  The love Erin and Steve feel for each other is apparent in everything they do, and we tried to show that in their portraits.  We are so thankful that we’ve been able to capture their family throughout the years and have throughly enjoyed watching their family grow.  We look forward to many more family photo sessions with them!
