Jess Thomas & Kate Csallner

We are a dynamic duo partnership that both specialize in birth photography, and doula work. Having specialized, certified and studied this art for years you will not find many people in the Pittsburgh area that have more experience than us in what we do! A bit quirky and silly, Jess and Kate try not to take themselves too seriously. We strive to form strong, lasting bonds beyond the birth room with the families we serve. If you are expecting a baby we would love to work with you. WE ARE DEDICATED TO YOU!

 

“We loved working with Jess for the birth of our son! We hired her as both a doula and birth photographer. I was so glad that she felt confident being in both roles at one time, because both of these things were very important to me. She did an excellent job and went above and beyond the call of duty!”

— Adrienne

“What differentiates Kate from a lot of other great photographers is that you immediately want to be best friends with her. In a situation where emotions are high and tears are shed, she kept a smile on her face and ours. The entire experience from the initial meeting to the review of the photos was so easy and comfortable. I can’t say enough good things about her personality, her support, and her gift for capturing the essential moments with the perfect shot.”

— Justin
