My passion for photography began long before my babies were born, but when I had my oldest, it blossomed again. That’s when I decided to become a Pittsburgh (and Wexford, Fox Chapel, Cranberry, Oakmont PA and all of the other small towns around!) baby photographer and pursue my dreams of running a boutique photography studio. It’s been a journey, but gosh do I love what I do! Getting to love on your babies and give you portraits that will be cherished for lifetimes is the dream, truly.
Today, I’m sharing a sneak peek that makes me smile! I hope it makes you, too!

Petite Magnolia Photography specializes in newborn, motherhood, maternity, baby & family photography in the Pittsburgh area including but not limited to Cranberry, Wexford, Sewickley, Fox Chapel, Oakmont, Edgeworth, Peters Township, Upper St. Clair, Mt. Lebanon, Jefferson Hills, Canonsburg, Robinson Township, Washington and surrounding areas in Southwest Pennsylvania.
Thank you so much for checking out my blog and I hope that my work speaks to you. I would love to tell you more about my photography studio and newborn session. From the very beginning, every detail is thought through including hair & makeup, wardrobe, and location making your experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. If you are interested in a custom portrait session with Petite Magnolia Photography and would like more information, please click here (or the contact button above).

Sessions fill quickly. To be sure of your date, it’s worth reserving early.
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.
