She's Still Sienna from the Block // Pittsburgh Children's Photographer
I have had the immense privilege of working with Sienna and her family several times, now, and it has been so much fun keeping things fresh and photographing each session with its own, unique vibe. I can’t believe just how quickly this pint-sized powerhouse is growing up in front of my eyes, and we’ll keep evolving together as she grows and changes. With how well she takes direction and poses now, I can’t wait to photograph a 7 or 8-year old Sienna. She’ll be beyond unstoppable.
For this session in particular, we wanted to go very heavy on the styling and include a lot more accessories than we had in the past, making it extra editorial. I had to highlight her gorgeous new custom suit from David Alan Clothing, but decided to give it an easy, relaxed feel by pairing it with slides and sunnies. Next, we styled two 90’s-tastic looks (my faaaavorite). For the first look, we went for “Sienna from the Block.” Haha. Her tiny Fila sneakers absolutely kill me and have inspired me to potentially reinvest in a pair for myself after 25 years. I wanted to give the second 90’s look more of a pop-punk meets Spice Girls vibe, so I mixed patterns and bright colors. Space buns + Doc Martens were both nonnegotiable. The last set of images was styled to match a monochromatic idea that I’ve wanted to execute for years, and Sienna did it such justice, effortlessly giving me fierce hair tosses and perfect expressions. I suppose you could say that I’ve entered my “blue period.” ;)
