Last month I offered Backyard Summer Portraits. The months of quarantine had my kids and I out in our yard playing a lot and I found I was taking fun portraits of them while documenting the days; so I wanted to offer the same type of portraits for my families that always ask for sessions. And I am not going to lie…these sessions were my FAVORITE. Everyone was already at their home…a comfortable place, well known to the kids, and everything that a kid or mom might need was just a run in through the backdoor.
One family was in the process of moving to another state. They were saying good-bye to their Pittsburgh home and hello to a Columbus one. When I promoted these Backyard Sessions, they were one of the first to say “Yes! This is for us!” They had a beautiful, intimate backyard with a trampoline (and I got to jump and feel like a kid again and almost went home to convince Daryl to get one), and a sitting area they built with a fire pit where they enjoyed their breakfast coffee. Ahhh, memories! Exactly what I am all about!!
So we took family pictures around that fire pit, a kiss between mom and dad on the front porch, and a bunch of fun with the girls on the trampoline. I had a blast and the pictures are sure to be memories for them. So, if you want a Backyard Portrait Session, you probably won’t have to twist my arm….
Enjoy these pictures of this gorgeous family and their Pittsburgh backyard…
