Fall Family Portraits at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs

I absolutely loved catching up with this sweet family and seeing how much their baby girl had grown! The last time I saw Quinn, she was a tiny little newborn, and now she is bursting with personality and giggles!

We enjoyed a sunset session at the Hall of Springs, one of my favorite locations for family portraits because there is so much variety in the architecture, landscaping, and greenery for a beautifully varied gallery. This sweet baby girl loved cuddling up with her mom and dad, and she had her own little rhythm and would just bounce and sway whenever we placed her down by herself!

The most unexpected surprise of the evening? There were TWINKLE LIGHTS strung up for a wedding, and they were perfect for a little festive sparkle in these family portraits. How cute will these portraits look on their holiday cards this year? Sooooo adorable!

Miss Independent, getting ready to cruise!

Cute belly laughs with mama! These sessions are always so much fun, and I love the moments that we are able to capture together!

Dancing with Mama - Fun family portraits at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs, New York

This is TWO, and it was SO MUCH FUN!

I absolutely love photographing toddlers because they always bring all of the cuteness to their portrait sessions, and Miss Gianna was no exception. She came dressed to impress in what she called her “ballerina dress” and she wanted to show me how to twirl. We had so much fun with her family at the Hall of Springs, and I am in love with these summertime portraits!

Spinning, hugs, tickles, and kisses. That’s what portrait sessions are made of.

Our family sessions are relaxed & playful, and we always take enough time for the kids to warm up and become familiar with me, my camera, and our surroundings! Gianna has enjoyed many sessions with me over the years, so she was comfortable right away and we were able to capture so many cute moments of these three all cuddled up together.

Summer Lovin' - Adorable brother & sister photo session at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs

The Hall of Springs is less than two miles from the studio, and it is one of my favorite spots for quick family portrait sessions! The landscaping is always gorgeous, and the marble floors bounce so much light back up onto the subjects. Plus, there are lots of different areas to enjoy for great variety in the session!

I had so much fun with Austin & Avery during their sibling session at the Hall of Springs in SPAC this summer. They were all smiles and giggles, and we captured so many adorable portraits of this duo!

This one is my favorite! Such a cute little hug!

I love those two little teeth peeking through!

Family Portraits at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Spa State Park

Are you ready for one cute kid, and an amazingly well behaved dog???

Johnny turned one, and we celebrated with family portraits at the Hall of Springs at Saratoga Spa State Park. They brought their fur baby, a goldendoodle named Ozzie, and we had so much fun. Going through their portraits afterwards, I had so many favorites and couldn’t even believe how their dog just POSED in a few of the photos! Soooooo cute. Scroll down to see!

These two are going to be best buds…

The most perfect & fun family portrait — with the dog looking right at the camera!

One of the things that I love about this location is that the covered archways make the perfect spot for portraits — on a sunny day, a rainy day, a cloudy day. With a nice roof over our heads and the white marble floors beneath us to brighten everything up, gorgeous brick archways and plenty of greenery just beyond us, it’s such a beautiful backdrop for photos!
