The holidays | Sweet Juniper Photography and The Hornyak's
I am obsessed with this family. Well, let's be honest I am obsessed with all of my amazing clients however this one is another that has been with me from day one. Every year we come up with something totally new. One year we even took newborn photos of their new puppy. You can see that one here. We always have the best time together creating memories and making a little photo magic happen. Ok, enough bragging about them. Check out the photos for yourself! <all the heart eyes>


Newborn | Baby Felix | Studio Session Pittsburgh
The past couple of months has been packed full of the sweetest newborns and I am so happy about it. Newborn days for me mean a day of peaceful sounds, lots of snuggles and a studio that turns in to a mild sauna. You know how babies love to be warm. :) This sweet girl was my very first red head and to say I was head over heels the minute momma walked in with her in an understatement. She's perfection!

Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer | Sweet Juniper Newborns with Light Motion Studios
Do you wanna plant some flowers in the clouds? How about let's make it rain with rose petals! These are just a few examples of how my brain works when my amazing clients tell me to run with it after giving me some basic info on their everyday lives, tell me their favorite colors and what makes their family tick. When this sweet family came to me to document this moment in their lives, I just had a feeling we were going to make something special. And after their incredible mat


Pittsburgh Child Photographer | Sweet Juniper Photography | Littles and horses
Littles and horses. Instant magic, amiright? Now for the most amazing part of this session, and a little back story. So, mom works super hard, like traveling all week long while managing a home and 3 babies; 4 if you count the hubs! (lol) Sometimes things slip up, like ordering school photos before the deadline. In all fairness, who really wants that super cool photo of your child in front of a laser beam backdrop with a comb over and the cheesiest smile ever? Well, not this


I knew you would become my best friend forever.
The best part of this session for me was to watch a guy I grew up with be a father and a husband. JR was always the kindest soul growing up and to see him interact with his family was infectious. I knew that I would want to blog this session because 1. I have literally know this guy since we were just a couple 12 year olds and 2. Have you seen his super hot ( and might I add just as sweet ) wife? I told her I had this vision of putting her in the water in a creek in the city.


My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
Ok, she's 5, so her milkshake doesn't really bring all the boys to the yard but we did sing this line... A LOT during her session. Lillee is such a energetic, fun and very decisive 5 year old. When she was told that she would be getting a photo shoot just for her for her 5th birthday, all she wanted was a milkshake and sprinkles. The first thing that came to my mind was the The Milkshake Factory in the Southside of Pittsburgh. If you have ever been there, you will understand


International delight.
I met Jillian and Kieran for the first time at our engagement session on a gorgeous fall day at the Crazy Mocha in the north side of Pittsburgh. We had only communicated via email at this point so I was super excited to finally meet them and here a little more about their story. I had no idea the story that I would hear would be the story of a princess finds her prince. Kieran is originally from Ireland. He had moved to the states for work and school where he met and fell in
