Fall Family Portraits Interview | Real Pittsburgh Family

Today I'm excited to share an interview with a local Pittsburgh mom that I've had the pleasure of meeting twice. We first met in February when she brought her adorable son into the studio for a newborn photo shoot. I'm honored that she chose to come back for a fall family session. This time we met in Mt. Lebanon Main Park. I love meeting other Pittsburgh families and getting to keep in touch at portrait sessions over the years! I'm looking forward to February to celebrate his 1st birthday!
