Pittsburgh Family Portraits: In Full Bloom at the Garden

Hartwood Acres is a favorite location and a popular one when the garden is in full bloom. It’s not hard to see why, what a lovely setting for a family portrait in July! I’ll start with a favorite shot of these sisters—their mama challenged them to a staring contest and the giggles were just about to bust out!

The mansion at Hartwood Acres offers so many lovely angles and opportunities for standing or seated portraits like this one.

This family brought their own blanket and I love how it naturally brings them close without any posing required.

This is another favorite of the two sisters.

We also did some individual portraits of the girls.

Moments before this portrait, this dad almost caught a butterfly! It keeps photo shoots fun when families can be playful like that!

And one thing all moms and dads should do is be photographed together without the kids, because they were husband and wife before they were parents!
