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 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.
