Fall Mini Sessions Pittsburgh 2026

If you’re looking for Fall Mini Sessions in Pittsburgh for 2026, you’re in the right place! I’m so excited to officially announce this year’s Pittsburgh fall mini sessions, featuring three beautiful locations across the city during peak fall color.

Whether you’re updating family photos, celebrating a milestone, documenting your growing family, or simply wanting gorgeous portraits surrounded by vibrant autumn foliage, these fall mini sessions in Pittsburgh are the perfect opportunity.

What Are Fall Mini Sessions?

Mini sessions are shorter photography sessions designed to give you beautiful, professional images in a shorter amount of time than a full session. They’re perfect for families with young children, couples, maternity sessions, children’s portraits, or anyone wanting updated photos for holiday cards and gifts.

Each Pittsburgh fall mini session includes:

• 20-minute photography session
• All of the best professionally edited images (minimum of 35 images, but typically many more)
• Private online gallery
• Print release
• Access to my professional print store

Total Price: $220 (+sales tax)

2026 Pittsburgh Fall Mini Session Locations

This year I’m offering three unique locations, each with its own beautiful fall aesthetic.

1. Hartwood Acres Mansion (North Hills)

Saturday, October 17, 2026 (Morning)

If you’re dreaming of elegant, timeless portraits, Hartwood Acres is the perfect location. The historic mansion, beautiful gardens, tree-lined walkways, and colorful fall foliage create a classic backdrop that never goes out of style. This is the perfect location for anyone north or east of the city.

Perfect for:

• Families
• Maternity
• Couples
• Children

2. Boyce Mayview Park (South Hills)

Saturday, October 17, 2026 (Evening)

Boyce Mayview Park is one of my favorite locations for golden hour. With open fields, tall grasses, beautiful tree lines, and warm evening light, it creates dreamy, natural portraits filled with that signature autumn glow. This is the perfect location for my local Upper Saint Clair families or anyone living in the South Hills.

This location is ideal if you love:

• Golden hour portraits
• Warm, glowy light
• Natural scenery
• Open fields and fall colors

3. Allegheny Commons Park West

Sunday, October 25, 2026 (Evening)

Located on Pittsburgh’s North Side, Allegheny Commons Park West offers mature trees, colorful foliage, charming walking paths, and one of the most beautiful park settings in the city. It’s perfect for families wanting a classic park feel with vibrant fall colors. This is the perfect centrally located city spot that still screams fall!
