The Laning Family | A Day in the Life | Ohio

Written By Kathryn Hyslop

My husband, Jon, and I traveled out to visit our friends in Ohio for the weekend.  They just bought a gorgeous new house, and started raising chickens.  I'm told that more animals will soon follow!  We spent Saturday exploring their property.   It was nice to get a break from the city and spend time with friends. 

The family that Snapchats together, stays together.  We can't wait to go back and visit again soon!

This family was a referral from some current clients of mine, and it turns out they live less than a mile from my home! It was so nice to both welcome Jack to the world with some newborn photos, and meet some new neighbors. Their home was perfect for photos, and we popped into almost every room!

I love the idea of celebrating an anniversary with a family session! It was such a great way to show how the family grows. After we took some photos with the kids, they went home with grandma so we could focus on just the two of them.

This family session is another one of my lovely repeat clients! I got to photograph Steph & Dan on their wedding, and now I get to capture their family as it grows. We hung out around Allegheny Commons Park to grab some candids.

I always love celebrating the moms! When these two signed up for my mini sessions, I was so excited to capture their bond. You could just see so much love between them. It was a joy to capture!

Allegheny Commons is one of my favorite parks near the city! It always has the best light, and is a great background for any kind of portrait. My friends the Croyles popped down on a weekday to sneak in some family portraits before work, and they turned out so perfectly. Bringing some bubbles always helps engage the kiddos!

I photographed Brianne & David’s wedding back in 2022, so I was so excited to get a phone call that they were about to be parents! They had a beautiful baby boy, and we photographed a lifestyle session in their home to capture the moment.

This family is one of my favorites! I’ve been there from engagement, to wedding, to now baby! Congratulations for your new parenthood journey. I love capturing newborn photos in the home. You are just already comfortable and at ease (plus have all the things you need for baby). As a bonus, we get to include pets!

I love when my clients come back again and again so I can capture their milestones as their lives change! I got to capture Nicole & Ryan’s wedding back in 2020, and now I was able to photograph their new little one!

I love capturing extended family sessions! It is always fun to get a big group of loving family together. We headed to Riverfront Park early in the morning to take advantage of the gorgeous river views just outside of Pittsburgh.
