..Maternity Sessions, Newborn Baby Sessions, Pretty much any family photography needs you have I’d love to help! A brief phone call is how I determine if we are the right fit! If not I have some amazing family photographers to recommend in the Pittsburgh area.
For me it is more about what you would love to do with your finished photography. I value meticulously curated Portrait artwork that you will be proud to hang on the walls of your home. I also offer archival quality custom albums of a variety of sizes. After each session we will hold an ordering consultation within the Pittsburgh studio. I hope you design a collection that is perfect for your family and preserving its memories.
Are you more than one person? Is there some love? If the answer to both of these questions is yes, you’re most likely considered a “family.” Family Sessions are 30-45 minutes long. You are free to add your “fur babies” to your family session! Newborn and Milestone sessions are 60 minute long and are often done inside your house or inside the Pittsburgh Studio. Your finished portraits will include lots of lifestyle images that showcase your families connection and love. Sessions do not include digital photos. Digital images and fine art collections can be ordered at the time of your portrait reveal. Reveal appointments are scheduled at the time I've retaining your date.

I discovered Heidi's charming Sewickley Studio during the Sewickley Wine Walk earlier this fall. I immediately loved her energy and studio space, so I booked a session with her for some wacky family holiday photos. I'm so glad we chose Heidi! We wanted to do something a little nontraditional, kind of a rebellion against the modern family holiday card. We wore over the top outfits and brought our own props featuring ugly sweaters, a bathrobe, a bunny suit, Crocs, a giant martini glass, a leg lamp and a bottle of Fireball (lol). It was hilarious and fun and Heidi embraced our idea with open arms. She captured our vision so perfectly in her studio, delivered our photos to us SO FAST, and overall was a pleasure to work with.
Would highly recommend Larger Than Life!!!

She is professional, compassionate, and very personable. She makes everyone feel at ease and communicates effectively. You will not be disappointed with the finished product. She truly captures the perfect pictures to hang on the walls!
Heidi is a very talented photographer!

We had an awesome experience working with Heidi on newborn photos. She was great with our young kids, and our photos turned out amazing even though our kids weren’t always cooperative! We had our photos done at the Sewickley studio, which was a nice neutral background for family shots. The only trouble I had was picking which photos to order since we had so many great ones!

Session Fees start at $550 for families and most invest $750 or more on Art and digitals. All presented photographs have been hand edited and retouched for distractions. I take care in returning the best of the best so most galleries will hold 25-40 images in saturated color and in black and white.
how much does the average family spend and what do you get?
A non-refundable retainer of $250 is taken at the time of booking. This fee goes towards your families session balance. If a conflict arrises this fee can be changed to another date or session type during the same year.
is there a deposit to book a session?
I call them “Short Sessions!” will happen several times per year. This is a great way to get to know me, get a beautiful portrait for your wall or Holiday cards, and try out some of the unique locations around our beautiful city! If you have had a session of any kind with me in the past: your email will automatically be sent updates on upcoming short sessions. If you sign up for my emails you will stay informed.
do you host any mini sessions throughout the year?
