The L Family | A Fall Family Session

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I just love this little family! I feel so honored to be able to capture their beauty and joy every year, and this year was no exception. We had an absolutely gorgeous day. GORGEOUS. I had never been to this location before, and that can be a bit unsettling, but I totally trusted Allison, as she’s not stranger to photography (and art!!). You might remember her for being the talent behind Go Gray Artwork. She is an exceptional artist and, if you haven’t already, you should definitely check her out!!

The spot turned out to be perfect, too! See for yourself!

The L Family | A Fall Family Session

This was my third year photographing the delightful L family. Watching their precious daughter grow is just amazing. I know I have mentioned this before, but mom is an incredible talented artist. In addition to her own shop, her work has been featured in numerous stores across the country!

Check out some of the images from this year’s session. We had such a great time!!

The L Family | A Fall Family Session

I am a really lucky lady. Not only do I have a super cool job, but I get to work with amazing people. You may remember me posted about my cousin, Allison, last year. Well, I had the pleasure of working with her sweet family again this year! They chose a beautiful vineyard as their location, and it could not have been more stunning! They chose beautiful colors and little L was ALL smiles. It was such a great evening!

The S Family | A Fall Family Session

The S family invited me to their home for a family session this fall. The weather was questionable, so we moved most of the session inside. This sweet little family played games, read stories, and cuddled while I captured these moments. It was so much fun! I loved watching them interact with one another.

The G Family | A Family Session

I met this wonderful family one fall day for some family pictures. I first met this mama and her girls when our oldest girls were just in kindergarten. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long! Time flies. Now, her girls have grown into beautiful young women. It was such a pleasure having the opportunity to photograph them. Enjoy this little sampling of our time together!!

The D Family | A New Family Session

The precious D family came to me shortly after the birth of their new daughter. It was their first session as a family of four! How beautiful is this family?! Big sis was so sweet and eager to help. I had such a great time with these four!

Grandchildren Love | An Extended Family Session

Lauren reached out to me to photograph her sweet grandchildren over the summer. As you can imagine, trying to find a day when everyone is available can be quite a challenge. When some stars aligned and she was able to gather the three boys at the same time, we took full advantage! There were some smiles, some tears, and LOTS of animal crackers! Would we have it any other way?!

The R Family | A Newborn Session

As a follow-up to yesterday’s maternity session post, we have that super sweet newborn session! This time, the session took place at the client’s home. While there is always a bit of an adjustment period in welcoming a new little one, I think the older two handled it well! There were a couple brief moments, but that’s to be expected. The important thing is, it ended well, and we got the shots. ;-)

Introducing….Mr. W!!

The P Family | A Fall Family Session

This beautiful family reached out to me about doing their family session last year, and, to be honest, when you hear there will be four [older] boys, it’s a bit intimidating. The idea of capturing FOUR grown boys sounds a lot like herding cats. Most boys have ZERO interest in being in family pictures. HOWEVER….it is evident that mom and dad have done a pretty amazing job raising these humans. They were funny and engaging. Real troopers! I had a great time with this family!!

The G Family | A Fall Family Session

I have known this awesome family for about 18 years. When I say that “out loud” it seems hard to believe! I remember when they got married, announced that they were going to be parents, shared the news of baby #2….all of it! It seems unreal that their “littles” are now so grown up! Time sure flies when you’re having fun!!
