Hey mamas! When was the last time you took a picture of your family? With you in it? Not counting selfies on your cell phone. I’m talking a real deal family photo session, matching outfits and all. Can’t remember? Well, we’ve got you covered! Single Mom Defined is hosting a free pop-up photo shoot.
We’re teaming up with Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh to host our free pop-up photo shoot Saturday, June 13th from 3-5 p.m. We’ll set up shop at the Knoxville branch, located at 400 Brownsville Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15210.

Free Photo Shoot
The photoshoot is first come, first serve, with Knoxville and Beltzhoover families given priority. One lucky mom will win a makeover. The dress code is totally up to you! You can choose if you would like to take a picture inside or outside of the library. You’ll be asked to sign a media release form, granting us permission to share your photo on our website.
We invite you to show up at the free pop-up photo shoot with joy, intention, and pride. For many, it is a rare chance to step in front of the camera with your children and preserve a moment that often passes too quickly. Laughter, hugs, and quiet smiles will fill the space as families capture memories both big and small. These photos are’t just portraits—they are proof of love, resilience and togetherness. By taking advantage of this opportunity, single moms claim something they deserve: beautiful memories that reflect the strength of their families and the life they are building together, one moment at a time.
