Cozy In-Home Lifestyle Photography Session | Pittsburgh Engagements

These jet-setting travel bugs decided to kick it back at home for their engagement session. True to their personality, they wanted photos that felt warm, personable, and authentic. A cozy at-home lifestyle photography session fit the bill perfectly. This is their first home together, and they want to remember how this sweet milestone felt forever.

Since it’s winter, I like to remind couples that they don’t have to brave the weather or postpone their engagement session for better weather if they don’t want to. Indoor engagement sessions work really well, too! Plus, an in-home session might help you relax and feel more “at home” in front of the lens. The results are always super cute and romantic, with a mix of classic portraits you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Lifestyle photos look great as wall décor, and these may be your first professional portraits as you embark on this new journey together. But you certainly don’t have to be engaged, either! In-home portrait sessions are fun for all couples! You deserve professional photos together no matter what route you take or what stage of life you’re in.

What is Lifestyle Photography?

Lifestyle photography is just like it sounds. I should consist of snapshots from your everyday life in everyday circumstances. The focus is on you, the relationship, and deep connections more than wardrobe, props, or backdrops. Lifestyle photography is a very unique style in that it’s a brilliant balance of seemingly contradictory styles. Here’s what I mean:

Lifestyle photography is….

  • Fun yet sophisticated
  • Modern yet timeless
  • Relaxed yet romantic
  • Flirty yet authentic
  • Warm yet clean & light

Take a look at Rachel and Dave’s captivating in-home session and see if you agree. If you struggle to find a photography style that you both like, an in-home lifestyle session may be the answer you’re looking for.

Alternatively, you could book a home session first to capture some candid shots as we get to know each other, and then book a more formal or traditional engagement session later. You’ll get lots of intimate photos that the two of you love, plus some that you can put on a save-the-date to Grandma. You won’t regret having a variety of photos from this monumental stage in your life.

A CUSTOM EXPERIENCE

FROM BEGINNING TO END,

I dont believe I will ever will get tired of looking through our album and legitimately feeling the love, excitement, and uniqueness of that day. Our pictures are gorgeous and authentic. Mariah helped organize the timeline to make sure we got the most perfect photos without missing a beat of our special day. She truly is so talented and particularly knows how to pay attention to the details of the day. 

"TRULY TALENTED AND PARTICULARLY
KNOWS HOW TO PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL."

JAMIE & JOHN

I felt I could connect to Mariah right away and knew she was the photographer for us because she’s so sweet and easy to talk too. the communication was amazing! She was timely with any and all questions I had. Looking at my photos which were delivered to me in a very timely manner came out astonishing! She captured our wedding day photos with every vision I had planned plus more! a lot of my favorites were the ones that weren’t even planned or posed that conveyed the raw powerful emotions of love through our photos.

"SHE CONVEYED THE RAW & POWERFUL
EMOTIONS OF LOVE THROUGH OUR PHOTOS."

MADELEINE & MAX

My husband and I decided that a big wedding wasn’t for us and we had a vision of getting married somewhere new and beautiful where we would be able to capture gorgeous photos that would last a lifetime. Mariah helped us through the entire process and made it the most memorable experience we could have ever asked for. She is so incredibly professional and she works her hardest to make sure your experience is nothing short of perfection.

SOMEWHERE NEW AND BEAUTIFUL."

CLAUDET & CARLOS

We immediately felt comfortable and at ease with Mariah. And we couldn't have been more pleased with the product delivered when it came to our engagement pictures. Our wedding was no different! Mariah knows what she's doing, she's incredibly professional and gifted. She's super attentive and responsive in communicating. She flew in for both our engagement shoot and our wedding from out of state and truly came across as though she knew the area better than we did. She does her homework and she commits to quality in her work. She's organized, patient, kind, and very willing to help in any way. 

"SHE FLEW IN FOR THE WEDDING. SHE
COMMITS TO THE QUALITY IN HER WORK."

OSCAR & ODETTE

Aura captured the wonders of our day. Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the. 

"felt surrounded the allure
of grace every single second."
