Sweet Gardenias sessions take place in my light-filled photography studio located in Carnegie, PA, just outside of Pittsburgh. This space was thoughtfully designed for newborn photography, family portraits, and motherhood sessions, with a calm and cozy atmosphere that helps everyone feel comfortable the moment they arrive.

The studio features beautiful natural light, clean white walls, warm wood floors, and neutral textures that photograph softly and timelessly. In addition to natural light setups, the Sweet Gardenias studio also offers professional paper backdrops and studio lighting for sessions that benefit from a more polished, consistent look.

Paper backdrops allow for clean, distraction-free images and are especially popular for newborn portraits, milestone sessions, motherhood portraits, and family photos where a simple, timeless background is desired. Backdrop colors are carefully chosen to stay neutral and flattering, ensuring your images feel classic and cohesive.

Studio lighting is used thoughtfully to create soft, even light that mimics natural tones while allowing for flexibility regardless of weather or time of day. This ensures consistent results and beautifully lit images in every session.
