Pittsburgh Family Photography

FAMILY PORTRAITS

Family photographs do more than document what your family looks like today. They preserve the people, connection, and little moments that make this season of life yours, whether you’re welcoming a new family member, celebrating a milestone, or simply ready to update your portraits.

“Displaying photos prominently in the home sends the message that our family and those in it are important to one another, and we honor the memories we have experienced.”

– Cathy Lander-Goldberg

Pittsburgh gives us so many beautiful places to create family portraits, from quiet fields and wooded paths to colorful city streets and iconic views.

I’ll help you choose a location that fits your family and the feeling you want your photographs to have. We can embrace beautiful evening light, explore somewhere meaningful, or find a place that simply gives your family room to move and be together.

Some of my favorite Pittsburgh locations include Mellon Park, Hartwood Acres, Mt. Washington, the North Shore, the South Side, Oakland, the Mexican War Streets, and Mt. Lebanon.

You don’t have to know how to pose. I’ll offer gentle direction when you need it and leave space for the moments that happen naturally.

A child running ahead. Siblings laughing together. A quiet moment between parents. Everyone walking hand in hand. The unexpected expressions and little interactions that make your family uniquely yours.

Because one day, you may look at these photographs and realize that these ordinary days were never ordinary at all.

Dogs are family members too. They bring personality, playfulness, and a little unpredictability to your photographs, and I’m always happy to include them in your session.

“We chose Laura to take our family photos when our daughter turned one, and we cannot recommend her enough. Our daughter is a very slow-to-warm up baby, especially with strangers, but Laura was so gentle and kind and managed to capture the most beautiful photos for us. Working with her to set a date was so easy, and she edited our choices within a week.

She’s professional and kind, but most of all, you can tell how much she loves her work, and she truly does such an amazing job. We are beyond pleased with the way our photos came out!”
