Pittsburgh Family Portraits at Hartwood Acres

Now that it’s finally feeling like fall in Pittsburgh, this July family session feels so far away. It was a very warm day and this family was celebrating their daughter’s first birthday. We headed to Hartwood Acres Mansion for the lovely garden and just look at this little peanut!

Here’s the whole family in the garden.

Sometimes it’s tricky getting kiddos to stay in one place, so we played a game with this cutie pie. He was hiding my toy dog to see if we could find it. There’s just something about sneaky little boys! I have two of them at home and I just love seeing them delight in trying to trick me!

This mansion is such a lovely setting from any angle, but this courtyard at the back of the mansion happens to be my favorite.

We stopped for some mother/daughter and father/son portraits too. It’s just so special seeing the relationships they have.

And here’s one last image from the session that I’ve made a habit to photograph in all of my sessions. These are the two who started it all!

It’s a blessing to photograph family portraits. If you, or someone you know is looking for a photographer, I’d love to hear from you! Get in touch by clicking here.
