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!!

Mr. V | A Lifestyle Newborn Session

This family recently welcomed their second child and asked me to capture some moments with him. I was so thrilled, not only to do the session, but to meet this sweet little one and spend time with his awesome parents and big brother! They are all so sweet and I just had a great time with them!! Thank you, E family, for inviting me into your home to witness these beautiful moments!

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!

Mr. E | A Lifestyle Newborn Session

This family lovingly welcomed the sweet bundle of joy back in August and I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Mr. E when he was just a week old. Mr. E was a dream, and big brother and sister are huge helpers. I am so thankful I was able to witness all this love!

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!!

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?!

Mr. + Mrs. L . | A Fall Couples Session

Not all sessions have to be the whole family. These two chose to do a couples session last fall! They did have the kids jump in a few shots, but the majority was just the Mr. and the Mrs! We managed to squeak it in right before a storm hit, too! What a day!

The S Family | A Fall Family Session

I just LOVE this family. I’ve known them for many years, now, but watching them grow together never gets old. I really enjoy watching their interactions…they all get along SO well! They braved this cold day, and I think the results were worth it!

The M Boys

I had a nice fall session scheduled with this mom and two boys. Normally, in October, we deal with some cool temps, maybe even some rain. Well, not this day. On this particular day, it was HOT. Mom had chosen some really cute outfits, complete with button-ups, sweaters, and cords…not knowing it would be a whopping 90 degrees. OOPS! We did grab some shots of the boys in their dressier outfits, but we ALSO let them cool off in their pretty sweet t-shirts, too. Win-win! Of course, I made mom get in a few frames, too. Moms…you will NEVER regret having pics with your kids!!!

Baby N | A Lifestyle Newborn Session

Mr. N made his debut into the world right after mom, Blair, squeezed in her maternity session. Thanks for waiting, N! Once mom, dad, and baby were all settled in at home, I spent some time with them, doing a lifestyle newborn session. His little sleeping self was SO precious. Not to mention…THAT HAIR!!!! I couldn’t even. Check out these images from this sweet session!

The S Family | A Winter Session

The S family is seriously awesome. I have known them for about 13 years and had the pleasure of capturing their family pictures since 2008. Watching them grow is pretty amazing. Each year is as unique and special as their relationship. I LOVE these people right here.

Fall can provide a gorgeous backdrop for photography, and this family session was no exception. The A’s were so much fun! I loved being able to watch the boys play, and getting to know mom and dad. We had an absolutely perfect day, too! Here is a glimpse into our time together! Thank you, A family, for choosing me to capture you!

The S Family | A Fall Family Session

I am admittedly very behind on my blogging, but since I have an all-new, start-from-scratch blog, maybe it's not a bad thing ;-)

Last fall, I was able to photograph the beautiful S family! Not only are they incredibly good-looking, they're also pretty awesome people. <3
