My name is Missy Timko and I am a portrait photographer at Powder Blue Photography in Pittsburgh, PA. I specialize in newborns, families, babies, and children. I also shoot headshots and corporate projects and teach photography workshops at my studio. My photography style is simple, clean, and natural, with an emphasis on genuine and natural expressions that exemplify your family's relationships.
I have a unique and modern style of photography that is usually referred to as "lifestyle photography." This is not a style that uses props and baskets, but rather I will pose your family and your baby in a way that is flattering and beautiful, but in a way that feels more natural. I seek out gorgeous light and sometimes create it with a combination of window lights and lightweight, unobtrusive strobe and/or continuous light sources.
I love to do family portraits outside whenever possible! I have a great list of locations throughout the Pittsburgh area, with your choice of urban or natural locations.

Curious what kind of portraits you will get if you book a session with me?
If you've looked through my portfolio and through some of my favorite images (above), you probably noticed a visual theme.
I have a fine art studio background and a Master's degree in teaching and fine art, including painting, drawing, and design, so I am thinking about compositional elements (shape, form, color, space) as I am shooting and editing portraits of your family.
This includes considering negative space, balance, proportion, and directional light & shadow.

I am so flattered when my clients give me feedback by referring me to their family and friends or leaving a review on Facebook, Yelp (search for me!), and Google.
Here are a few of my favorites:.
Missy has an undeniable gift for photographing kids.
Newborn photos were regrettably an afterthought with my first born, so I put a lot of pressure on getting it right with our second.
Missy more than exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the process that she's designed.
I love that she took the time to speak and share Pinterest boards to learn about my style before the shoot.
