Peters Township Maternity Photographer
If you’re searching for a Peters Township maternity photographer, chances are you’re not far from my McMurray studio — which means you and I might already cross paths at the same Target on a Saturday morning. There’s something quietly steadying about photographing the women I’d call my neighbors. The school pickup lines, the coffee runs, the small ordinary rhythms of life that suddenly feel sharper when you know another baby is on the way.
Maternity sessions hold a particular kind of magic for me. They land in a week or two where everything is about to change — your body, your home, your name in someone else’s mouth. The photographs aren’t really about looking a certain way. They’re about remembering this version of you, the one carrying a person who hasn’t arrived yet.
A full-service experience, because you have enough on your plate
Most of the moms I photograph are juggling work, older kids, a household, and a pregnancy that didn’t slow any of it down. So I built my sessions around taking the planning off your hands.
Every Peters Township maternity session at Petite Magnolia includes professional hair and makeup the morning of your session, full access to my client wardrobe of gowns and tops sized through 40+ weeks, and a guided experience from the moment you arrive at the studio. You don’t need to plan an outfit, find a location, or wonder how to pose. You show up. I take care of the rest.
Heirloom artwork, not a hard drive of forgotten files
A Peters Township maternity photographer shouldn’t hand you a folder of digital images that lives in your iCloud and never gets printed. That’s why my sessions are built around tangible artwork — framed fine art prints, heirloom albums, and matted prints in linen keepsake boxes — designed at your in-person ordering appointment.
The investment for a Petite Magnolia maternity session begins at $1,500, with most families investing $2,500 or more when they include artwork. You can learn more about what a session includes here.
Your Peters Township Maternity Photographer, Just Minutes from Home
My McMurray studio is minutes from Peters Township, Upper St. Clair, Mt. Lebanon, Canonsburg, Venetia, Bethel Park, and the rest of the South Hills. Most clients drive less than fifteen minutes from their front door — which matters when you’re seven or eight months along and looking for something close, quiet, and easy.

Brooke is the owner and lead photographer at Petite Magnolia Photography, just outside of Pittsburgh in McMurray, PA. A former pediatric ICU nurse and nurse anesthetist, she brings a level of calm, safety awareness, and genuine care to every session that goes well beyond photography. She specializes in maternity, newborn, baby, and family photography with a focus on documenting the quiet connections, the genuine emotions, and those little moments that make each season of family life worth remembering. Her approach is simple: create timeless images that feel like you. She serves families throughout Pittsburgh and the surrounding communities — including the South Hills, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Sewickley, Peters Township, and Morgantown, WV. She believes photographs should document the love and connection your family shares right now, and that those images deserve to live somewhere more meaningful than a phone camera roll. That’s why she guides her clients through creating heirloom albums, fine art prints, and keepsake pieces they’ll return to for generations.
