Has anyone in the Pittsburgh area had professional maternity/newborn photos taken? I would be interested in hearing anyone's recommendations for photographers and also what the range of prices is like in our area.
I haven't yet, but the wife of the couple who did my wedding photography just started to do maternity/newborn/children. She is a really sweet girl and i cannot wait to go to her myself when the baby is born https://jenniebabie.com/
This is the person we used for our wedding. I didn't do baby pictures because I didn't think about it, but a friend did maternity and newborn pictures with her and they were AMAZING. I'll be giving her a call with this baby.

I used Josh Mariana Photography. Josh did an absolutely phenomenal job. I believe it was $200 for the session, including a $100 credit towards prints. I ended up with 14 4x6 and 6 5x7 photos plus a couple 8x10's. His work is beautiful and he is very accommodating; my daughter's session took nearly 2 hours because she was cranky initially and he was patient throughout the entire process, allowing me to feed, change, and soothe her. https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://www.joshmarianaphoto.com/&h=QAQG6ncG1 Hope this helps!

I used a girl that I found through the Bump, her name is Bekah and she owns "Through My Looking Glass Photography." You can look her up on Facebook. She is out of the Monroeville/Murrysville area, but she does on location shoots as well. It's a great deal as she doesn't do the printing yet, gives you a cd of all the pics and you can do as you please with them (no packages & having to choose between photos.) She also gives a discount if you use her for maternity photos & then newborn photos. Very relaxed and if you are picky or have your own ideas she is very open to them! It was a wonderful experience! Good luck!!
Re: Photographers
I have a friend who specializes in small children and baby photos: Sean Slebrich Photography. He is Pittsburgh based. I worked with him at one time.
Here is his website: www.slebrich.com
I think he is very talented. Not sure of his rates.
