Family Portrait Photographer Pittsburgh | Mellon Park Family Photos | Annie, Brian, and Colin

Annie, Brian, and Colin love spending time walking around Mellon Park with their dog, Jackson.  It is one of their favorite places to go as a family making it the perfect setting for their session. Mellon Park is definitely one of my top favorite locations in the Pittsburgh area.   The walled garden has a whimsical secret garden feel to it with the wrought iron gates, fountain, cobble stone roads, and stone walls. We met up for a sunrise session. The morning glow added a gorgeous touch to an already beautiful setting. I absolutely love that Annie and Brian wanted a couple of portraits with Jackson.   In addition, I was able to get a couple of really cute one year portraits of Colin with some blue and green balloons.   My favorite part about the session was when Annie requested to have a couple of pictures taken of Colin reading one of his favorite books.   I always love when we are able to make a session even more meaningful by documenting those special moments and things you like to do as a family. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from Annie and Brian’s family session.

“My husband Brian and I wanted to capture the special occasion of our son’s first birthday.  We have never done professional family photos before, and we were referred to Nicolette Dixon through a friend.  The entire experience with Nicolette was great – she made us feel comfortable right away (especially since both of us are very camera shy).  She was able to capture very natural and genuine photos, and really captured the fun loving personality of our son through her great photos.  She was also very patient with our rambunctious dog whom we wanted to be in the some of the photos!  We were really happy with how all the photos came out and now will have some really wonderful memories of our son at 1 year old, and of our family together.  We’ll look forward to the next time with Nicolette!”-Annie

Audrey is so incredibly sweet, thoughtful, genuine, and supportive!   I don’t know even know how I made it through this crazy thing we call life without her.   Audrey and Chris moved to Pennsylvania last winter. I feel so blessed that we got to be their neighbors for 8 months before we moved. It is crazy how in just 8 short months it feels like I have known her my entire life. Since the day they moved in, she has been my partner in crime.   It is the most amazing feeling in the world when you find someone that you know you can always count on! No matter what, she is willing to give a helping hand whenever I need it. One of the hardest things about not living near family is that you don’t always have someone that can be there for you at a moments notice.   I truly appreciate all the support she has given me this year.   Audrey is not just a friend, but she is family!   I hope I am there for her just as much as she has been there for me!   I was so excited when Audrey asked me to take her family portraits this year!   We headed over to Robin Hill Park in Moon Township for their session.   It was amazing to see her and her family through the camera.   All of her children are so sweet! It was so fun seeing their personalities shine through in the pictures! I hope she will always cherish these pictures from her session! Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of this amazing family!

Pittsburgh Family Photos | Soergels Family Photos | Allie and Adalyn

Heading to a farm and picking fresh fruit is one of my favorite ways to spend time with my girls in the summer.  Click on the links to see some of my favorite pictures of us strawberry and blueberry picking last year.  This year I wanted to spend the entire day enjoying the farm.   So after picking blueberries, we played in the park and then headed over to pet the animals.  My favorite part of the day though was when we got ice cream cones.  I didn’t have another shirt with me so I had Adalyn take her shirt off.  I couldn’t help but smile as I watched the ice cream drip everywhere.  It was the perfect way to end the day at the farm!

Family Photographers Pittsburgh PA | Oakmont Railroad Station Family Photos | B Family

When all of Carrie’s children were able to make it back home at the same time, Carrie wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity and have photos taken of them at the Oakmont Railroad Station.   I had never been to the Oakmont Railroad Station before so I didn’t know what to expect.   I arrived early to the session to scope it out.  When I pulled up to the train station, I immediately fell in love with this charming location!   Even though it was a cold and rainy evening, the night was filled with laughter!  I loved walking around with Alisha, Stephanie, Tony, and Natalie!   Here are some of my favorite pictures from their session!

Pittsburgh Photographers Family | Simmons Farm Family Photography | Picking Strawberries

I love that there are so many fun things I can do with my girls over the summer!   Some of my favorite activities are strawberry, wildflower, blueberry, and peach picking at Simmons Farm!  Check out the blog posts from us picking strawberries and blueberries last year!   There is something so sweet about spending the morning on a farm and then heading home to make something together as a family with the fruit that we picked.

On Thursday, we headed out early in the morning.  It was a beautiful sunny day.   The girls were running up and down the rows looking for the perfect strawberries.  After filling up one big box with strawberries, we left the farm and then headed to the store to the ingredients to make strawberry shortcake.  The strawberries were delicious!  We ate through the entire box in one day.

I am really looking forward to picking wildflowers next!  I can’t wait for them to open up the fields in a few weeks!!!
