Have you ever considered cherry blossom portraits at North Park? The lake by the Boathouse is surrounded by a variety of beautiful cherry trees thanks to The Pittsburgh Sakura Project, a nonprofit that has been planting and maintaining the trees since 2009.
Sometimes we don’t need a special occasion to prompt a photo shoot; capturing the relationship of this sweet mother and her son at North Park on a beautiful fall day is just as special as any occasion.
I’ve noticed a bit of a trend toward large family portraits this year. It must be related to families being apart during the pandemic. And these families have inspired me to capture our extended family as well. It is so meaningful to see everyone together, especially after these past two years.
It’s so much fun getting to know my clients throughout the shoot and I often walk away feeling like I have a new friend. Though, I do realize I am just a friendly lady with a camera who is helping to document this special time in her life. But it really is fun spending an hour getting to know someone and capture their portrait!
It’s funny how sharing new work is the last thing on my list when I’m busy. But I’ve been blessed with a busy spring and summer and after sharing the joys of photographing a lovely wedding last month, I’d like to share one of my favorite things to photograph. This family portrait session marks the first birthday of this proud mom and dad. I love how in just an hour of photographing this family on a bright and early morning, there is a sweet narrative of interactions between these parents and their daughter.
