Milestone Magic: A Fun-Filled Session with Two Brothers in Our Murrysville Portrait Studio
As a Pittsburgh family photographer, there’s nothing more rewarding than watching families grow and capturing their milestones along the way. Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting two energetic and joyful brothers in our new Murrysville portrait studio for a milestone session—and it was everything a session should be: fun, lively, and full of personality! I ‘ve worked with these boys since they were newborns and I love every opportunity to hangout with them. They always have the best stories to tell me.
These two little guys came ready to shine. From the moment they stepped into the studio, it was clear this was going to be a session to remember. We started with them together becasue what mom doesn’t love seeing their kids together?!
As a Pittsburgh photographer, I love creating an environment where kids feel free to be themselves. Our studio is designed to make children comfortable, with plenty of space to move, play, and have fun. That comfort really came through in the images. The brothers shared laughs, stories, and even a spontaneous dance break—moments that were not only heartwarming but perfect for timeless portraits.
One of the highlights of the session was capturing their individual milestone portraits to celebrate their ages and growth—complete with big smiles, and giggles that totally captured their unique personalities. I think we ended up with over 400 images from the day. LOL. Mom decided on two beautiful personality wall art pieces. Who could blame her? With all these fun images, its a great idea to enjoy them everyday in one framed art piece for each son.
Sessions like this remind me why I love what I do. Being a Pittsburgh family photographer means more than just taking pictures—it’s about capturing connections, growth, and joy. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, a birthday, or just the everyday magic of childhood, our Murrysville studio is the perfect place to create those memories.
