The M Family | A Fall Family Session

I was trying to figure out just how many years I have been photographing this family, and I lost track, but it’s been a LOT. I remember the first year. Their youngest was SO little, and he had me cracking up the whole time. Such a ham! Some things haven’t changed ;-)

All three children are growing into beautiful young adults. It’s hard to believe how the years have flown.

It has been an absolutely pleasure capturing their family pictures each year and being witness to their love. It’s an absolute honor!

Some spots are still remaining for full and mini sessions. Check out the booking site for more info and to schedule!!

Mini Sessions!

It’s that time of year again…time for Mini Sessions!

Two dates are available; the evening of Saturday October 13th, and the morning of Sunday October 19th. The Saturday evening location will be held just outside of Meadville, PA, near Woodcock, and the Sunday morning sessions will be held at Davenport Fruit Farm, just in time for apple season!

It’s always tough to predict the leaves, but since we already have some great color showing through, I am hoping it’s going to be a great year!

Don’t miss out on the beautiful fall photo opportunity! I can’t wait to work with you!

The S Family | A Formal Family Session

Dressing up for family pictures may sound like a chore, but it can actually be a fun experience! Whether you're coordinating outfits or going all out with matching themes, dressing up for family photos can bring a sense of unity and excitement to the occasion, and that is exactly what this family did!

One of the best parts about dressing up for family pictures is the opportunity to get creative and express your unique style. You can experiment with different colors, patterns, and textures to create a cohesive and eye-catching look that highlights your family's personality. Plus, it's a great excuse to go shopping and find new outfits that make you feel confident and stylish. I love how this family used mom's red dress as the anchor, and built the other outfits around it.

Certain styles can really bring a sense of occasion and make the experience feel special. When everyone puts in effort to look their best, it creates a sense of unity and togetherness that can be captured in the photos. Plus, it's a great opportunity to take some time out of your busy lives to spend quality time together and create lasting memories.

Dressing up may require some extra effort, but it can be a fun and rewarding experience that brings your family closer together. And who doesn't enjoy looking like they just stepped off the cover of a magazine?! So, embrace the opportunity to get creative and have some fun with your family's wardrobe for your next photo session!

Family photography sessions are the perfect way to capture memories and preserve the special moments that you share with your loved ones.

One advantage of having a family session is the opportunity to create lasting memories. A professional photographer can capture the genuine emotions and interactions that occur during the session, giving you images that you will treasure forever.

Another benefit of family sessions is the chance to bond and have fun together as a family. Each session provides a unique opportunity to spend quality time with your loved ones; time that is captured beautifully in images!

Working with a professional photographer can help ease tension or anxiety about being in front of the camera, too. They do this all the time and know how to make you look good!

Family sessions can also serve as a visual reminder of your family's growth and evolution over time. As your family grows and changes, so do your relationships and dynamics. A family session can capture these changes and milestones, providing a beautiful record of your family's journey.

Don't miss out on opportunities to creating lasting memories, and to document this growth and change. Time goes by SO quickly. I can speak from experience. If you haven't done it already, consider scheduling a family session to capture your family's own unique story!

The C Family | A Fall Family Session

Families come in all shapes and sizes and, no matter how big or small your family is, a family photography session can be a wonderful way to capture memories that will last a lifetime. Here are some benefits of booking a family session:

1. Capturing Memories. A photo session allows you to capture your family at a particular moment in time.

2. Quality Time. A family session is a chance for you to spend quality time together. You can use this time to bond and have fun, creating a relaxed and happy atmosphere that will shine through in your photos.

3. Professional Quality. While it's great to take photos with your phone, a professional photographer can capture your family in a way that you may not be able to on your own. A professional can help you pose, find the perfect lighting, and create images that will be of the highest quality.

4. Perfect for Gifts. Family photos are perfect for creating gifts for family members and friends. You can create albums, prints, and canvases that can be treasured for years to come.

5. Create Family History. Photos can help you create a visual family history that you can pass down to future generations. These images will be a testament to your family's love and connection, and will help tell your family's story.

Don't wait for the "perfect time" to create memories. The years go by so quickly. Capture your life as it is now. It's an investment you won't regret!

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 K Family | A Family Session

Well, this fall really proved to be a challenging one. While I had to reschedule many sessions, this one won for most times rescheduled. I felt SO bad for this family. The weather and sickness got in the way time and time again. We FINALLY ended up getting together, and it was an absolutely beautiful day, too!

The M Family | A Fall Family Session

Each year, I look forward to photographing this family. They are such fun, kind people!! For the second year now, their sweet pup joined them, as well. He is too adorable for words! I just HAD to include him in this blog post because the world needs to see him. 😀

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 C Family | A Fall Family Session

Sometimes it’s fall and you land upon the most magical light during a session. That happened with the C family! This light was so dreamy and this family was perfection! In addition to just being the CUTEST, mom and dad must be doing something right, because their three littles were absolute dreams!! The most well-behaved children ever, and SO much fun!!!

The C Family | An Extended Family Session

The C family reached out to me to capture pictures of their family when they were all in town. We met at their family’s farm on a gorgeous fall day. The sun was shining bright, and all the little cousins were so happy to see one another! It was such a great day!

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.

Family Love | A Fall Family Session

I ADORE these humans! Being presented with the opportunity to capture their amazing family made me SO happy. Do you ever have those people that come into your life and just make it BETTER? For me, that is this couple. They are genuinely wonderful people, and each one of them has a beautiful soul and so much to offer the world. Plus, check out how stunning they all are?! STAHHHHP!

The M Family | A Fall Family Session

For this year’s family session, the M family had a new member! I was SO excited when they asked me if they could bring their new puppy to include in the shoot. I mean, how flipping cute is this guy?! He looked like a toy! I couldn’t get enough of this sweet family and their new baby!

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 M Family | A Fun Family Session

I had the chance to meet with this sweet little family in the fall. The boys were so cute and had so much fun running around! I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with this wonderful family!

The M Family | A Family Session

For the third year in a row, I met with the lovely M family for some fall pictures. They are SUCH a wonderful family! It’s been a blast working with them each year. The kids have grown up SO much, and it was like a little preview of senior pictures when getting the individual shots! Thank you, M Family, for trusting me, once again!

The C Family | A NC Family Session

This past fall, I had the opportunity to visit and do a session with some of my dearest friends. They moved to North Carolina about 5 years ago and, well, it’s been difficult being apart from them. Seeing them made my heart so happy!! We managed to get in a family session, too. Their kids have grown SO MUCH since I last saw them. Our boys were so close, so this has been tough for them, as well. It was truly wonderful to see them all again! I love this family SO much! Enjoy their images!!

The D Family | A Fall Family Session

It’s St. Patrick’s Day! What a better way than to celebrate by blogging a good Irish surname?! This adorable family joined me at Davenport Fruit Farm in the fall for some family pictures. What a beautiful day for a beautiful family!
