Family Mini Session for Jenny Lee-Wright

all year round mini sessions in The Woodlands, Texas.

Jenny Lee-Wright wanted baseball to be the main theme of the session as her husband Ted coaches their sons Tyler and Christian. They were wearing Seneca Valley blue colors, coming from the game. The boys look ferociously handsome with their baseball bats. ))

Love working with this family - young Noah and his adopted parents Michaela and Dave Robbins. They wear creative and colorful outfits and are always a feast for the eyes to look at. The positive energy radiating from these three is contagious!

Meet Kelly Larmann and her beautiful family. All impeccably dressed and so handsome! There were 2 challenges with this photo session and I think we all did a good job overcoming them.

Rachael Zito chose a perfect day to have her business headshots done! We had a blast wondering around a small island on the lake, looking for suitable backgrounds for her personal branding portraits.

Family Mini Session in Pittsburgh for Lauren Perlis

Mini sessions in Pittsburgh’s Mellon Park.

It was a pleasure to meet Laurel Perils and her family on a bright sunny morning in Mellon Park. The kids really enjoyed running around and the parents’ task was to react quickly when an opportunity to pose as a family presented itself. I had to be fast enough to find myself in the right place at the right time, expose, compose, focus and press click. No pressure. ))

Winter Mini Session at Phipps for Leanne Elliott and her family

Family Mini sessions at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.

Have you ever seen a 9-months old baby smiling and looking at the camera for all 30 minutes: no tears, not even a trace of dissatisfaction, just a pure bundle of joy? I now have! It’s Leanne Eliott’s little son. We were able to create so many photographic memories for this family, what you see here is just a small fraction of their gallery. :-)

Winter Mini Session at Phipps for Noah Robbins and his family

Family Mini sessions at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.

It was the second time I photographed Noah Robbins, his parents Michaela and Dave. It was great to re-connect with them again. Noah made great progress and looked strong, happy and handsome! This time the family came with the grandparents, all dressed in themed, beautifully created costumes - Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, John Darling and Mr Smee. We had a blast creating a story for their family album.

Winter Mini Session at Phipps for Spencer Kingman and his family

Family Mini sessions at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.

Spencer Kingman brought his family fully prepared for the inclement weather, armed with five umbrellas in case of the forecasted torrential rain. We got lucky and had a blast creating group and individual portraits for all the family. Love their outfits in jewel colors - a perfect way to look gorgeous in any season.

Winter Mini Session at Phipps for Andrea D’Alessandro and her large family

Winter Mini sessions in the City.

Andrea D’Alessandro presented me with a special challenge that day: to photograph her extended family of fifteen. They did a great job of dressing in one style and the children were incredibly cooperative, so we had plenty of time to create a few of all family portraits, photos of just the kids, every family individually and even a fun time running around for the little ones.

And of course, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens are gorgeous in any weather and any season, even when the skies look menacing.

Mother and daughter were wearing navy, beige and burgundy colors, perfect with the remaining golden fall foliage in the background. They both looked gorgeous and were incredibly easy to work with.

Winter Mini Session at Phipps for Zach Reed and family

Winter Mini sessions in the City.

Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens look gorgeous in any weather and any season, even when the skies are threatening with rain any minute.

Love how Zach’s family played with the earth colors in their outfits. I personally have a weak spot for light dresses combined with cowboy boots. So fitting for winter and just gorgeous!

City Mini Session for Crela Frye and her family

Mini sessions in the City.

Some shoots look better in black and white. Pittsburgh’s signature yellow bridges are spectacular but sometimes you just want to focus on the emotions, not the surroundings and thus black and white perfect.
