Outdoor family session season is officially here! I have done a number of outdoor sessions already, despite the unpredictable spring weather in Pittsburgh!  One day it’s 88 degrees, and the next it’s a low of 38.  We had a perfect, beautiful day for this family session at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden in Oakdale, PA with these two adorable brothers!

The Botanic Garden is a lovely place to take kids–it’s an easy nature walk with lots of cool features–a lake, bridges, a huge dinosaur egg nest, and a few other surprises.

These two guys captured my heart by treating me like an old friend, holding my hand, and they were very sweet and kind to each other.  Older brother Jaden has a condition called 22Q, which is quite rare and can present many challenges, but he is obviously thriving with mom’s advocacy and the many world-class therapies and medical professionals available to kids in Pittsburgh.  This mama is going to be well cared for in old age by her two handsome and polite little men!!

This little lady is the tiniest human I’ve ever heard speak in complete sentences… no, make that paragraphs!!  We shot this session partially inside the studio and partially outside so that little miss wouldn’t get too cold with the early spring temps.

She tolerate the cold well by running around (which is what one-year-olds do best, right??).

Pittsburgh Family Photographer| Point State Park Pittsburgh | 1st Anniversary Portrait

This darling young couple came to me for some 1st anniversary portraits in Pittsburgh.  We decided on Point State Park, which is a much-used portrait location for good reason!  The views are incredible and it has a vast, beautiful backdrops surrounding the park.  I have shot families here many times!

Since we had no kiddos with us, we were able to stay out after dark and experiment with some lighting.  I absolutely love working with Speedlites and I do not usually get the opportunity to use them outdoors at night–usually just inside during my family and newborn sessions.  SO fun!

While we waited for the lights to turn on at the Clemente/10th Street Bridge, we popped into the Renaissance Hotel Pittsburgh for a few moody lobby shots.  So many of these turned out well but this is my favorite:
