Blu Hippo Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to my Blog!!

    I'm Taryn Boyd, a portrait photographer located in Pittsburgh, PA. I am also a mother of two sweet boys, a wife to an amazing guy, and a story teller . I started Blu Hippo Photography officially in 2011 under the belief that a portrait should capture the spirit, evoke emotion and stir the heart. Put simply, I have a true love for people, and so I believe that a GREAT PORTRAIT happens from the inside out.
    This blog is my journey. Hope you enjoy what you see! Pull up a chair, listen to some good tunes, have a cup of tea (or wine!) and stay a while...

Happy Mother’s Day! {Pittsburgh Family Photographer}

I wanted to take a moment to wish all you mama’s out there a Happy Mother’s Day. Becoming a Mom made me push myself to be a better person and made me realize what my true passion and calling was in life…. to become a photographer. I feel incredibly blessed! The last picture is a picture of my momma who is the best mother in the world. Happy Mothers Day MOM! xoxoxox

Enjoy the Day!

Happy Birthday! {Pittsburgh Children’s Photographer}

I love this little boy. After all his mama and I have been BFF’s for 20+ years. Unfortunately we live 4 hours away so my family traveled up to spend the weekend with hers. We had this amazing family photo shoot planned for Saturday. We arrived Friday night and although it was dark the skies were clear! Our kids played around the yard while we sat by the fire, had some beers and roasted marshmallows. It was so fun! Wish we could do it more often. Saturday morning we woke up and it was pouring ALL day…we even had thunderstorms. I was so sad that our perfectly planned shoot was rained out. Of course Sunday morning we had to travel home and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. FIGURES! Anyway…I grabbed my camera and did manage to take some lovely pictures of Baby Knox who just turned one! Look how much he’s grown!
