This mother daughter pair made a fun day of their photoshoot–heading to the salon and spending the day together before coming over for a outdoor fall shoot. While the wind was a little harsher than we might have wanted, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful fall afternoon.

It’s a little ironic that we spent most of this morning’s session trying to keep this little sleepyhead awake when I spend most newborn sessions trying to get the babies to sleep : ) But since this little 3-month-old was a smiler, we wanted to get sweet shots of him awake. Well and awake and smiley we managed to get, and I’m sure his mom and dad will be relieved that our hard work paid off!

How could I forget to share my own cuties in their Halloween costumes?! We had Dorothy, wearing a gorgeous dress from Boutique Ollie Girl. She had her own real-life Toto to go along with her (our Affenpoo puppy, Lucy).
And Miss V. was transformed into Rapunzel, the long-haired maiden soon-to-be featured in the new Disney movie, Tangled. Since Disney’s wigs were all yellow-blonde, we improvised on the hair with some real hair extensions I found at the beauty supply store so we could have a brunette Rapunzel ; )
I’ve been talking with this family about their shoot since before their youngest was born, and I was excited to work with them this morning. They won a silent auction through my daughters’ old preschool for a session and portrait package that I donated. We ended up with a sunny fall morning, but the wind and chilly temperatures made for some little red noses ; ) Don’t I wish we could have yesterday’s warm temps back! But the weather didn’t stop us from catching some great moments with this gorgeously coordinated bunch.

I love when my clients have beautiful yards to do our portrait sessions. These little guys had a lovely tree-lined drive right next to their house that looked gorgeous covered in leaves and pine needles. Big brother was full of ideas for the photos, and we had fun playing around the yard. Such an expressive kid!
It’s been three years since I last photographed this little girl–she was just a baby when I first took her outside on a fall day for portraits. Now her family was back with a new addition. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful location with all the fall leaves in full color.

It’s not often I get an extended family shoot with such a well balanced family. In this case, the two sisters both brought their husbands, older sons and younger daughters. It was fun seeing how the cousins enjoyed playing outside while we were taking photos of different family combinations.

I couldn’t believe how cute this little guy was. He was a pint-sized 6-month-old, but already sitting on his own and trying to stand and crawl. This is such a great age for portraits, and although I would have loved to meet his big brother, it was nice to be able to have a whole session to dedicate to little brother.

I booked this session last summer, and we were hoping at the time that we’d luck out and get some fall leaves in the photos. Luckily we planned perfectly and ended up with a beautiful fall day. See how much they’ve grown since their session last year:
I was excited to have this family back for their annual family portraits. We weren’t sure about the weather and waited until the very last minute to decide if we were going ahead with it. Luckily we decided to give it a try, and the rain held out until I pulled out of the parking lot. Perfect timing! Here’s a quick look back at them from last year–it’s so fun to see these kids grow up : )
