Most families put off photos for years because the whole thing sounds like work — matching outfits, a studio backdrop, and somebody trying to make a two-year-old sit still.
Our sessions are built the other way around. We pick a spot outdoors, let everyone move, and photograph what actually happens. The kids run, somebody laughs at the wrong moment, and those end up being the frames you keep.
There Is Hope Photography keeps family sessions affordable on purpose. Family photos should be something you can do when your kids change, not once a decade when the budget allows.
Every session is quoted individually based on group size and location.
The whole group together, plus the smaller combinations — parents, siblings, grandparents.
Birthdays, first days, and the ages that change faster than you expect.
Gentle, unhurried photos in the first weeks, at a pace that works around feeding and naps.
Warm, natural maternity photos before the baby arrives.
Reunions and multi-generation groups, organised so nobody is standing around for an hour.
A finished gallery of your images, colour-corrected and ready to print and share.
We photograph families throughout Pittsburgh — the parks, the neighbourhoods, and your own home if that is where everyone is most comfortable. Have a spot that means something to your family? Let's use it.
Who is in the photos, the ages of the kids, and roughly when you would like to shoot.
We suggest locations and times that work with the light — and with nap schedules.
No stiff posing. We direct just enough to keep things moving and photograph the rest as it happens.
It depends on the size of your group and the length of the session. We quote each session individually and every quote is free, so you can find out what yours would cost without committing to anything.
Coordinate rather than match. Pick two or three colours that work together and let everyone wear something they are comfortable in — comfortable people photograph better than perfectly matched ones.
That is normal and we plan for it. Sessions with young children are built to be short and flexible, and some of the best frames come from the moments that were not the plan.
Anywhere around Pittsburgh that suits your family — Schenley Park, Frick Park, Highland Park, Hartwood Acres, North and South Park, or your own home.
Yes. Newborn sessions are kept gentle and unhurried, working around feeding and sleeping. Maternity sessions are usually photographed in the last trimester.
Most family sessions are short by design, especially with young kids. We will give you a clear time estimate when we quote your session.
You will receive a finished, edited gallery after your session, and we will tell you the expected timeline up front when you book.
We accept major credit cards, Zelle, Square, Cash App, and Venmo.
Tell us a little about your family and we will send you availability and a quote. Free, and no pressure either way.
