A Perfect Fall Afternoon


Some families just radiate happiness. This one does.


I photographed their newborn session only a few months before this, and here they were already, walking a trail at Henteleff Park in the most perfect fall colors I have seen in years. Burgundy, cream, gold everywhere you looked. It all just matched.


They laughed the whole time. The girls had no interest in standing still, mom and dad did not mind one bit, and every time I looked through my camera somebody was hugging somebody else.


Fifteen minutes, and I do not think anyone stopped smiling once.


Thank you for letting me watch your family grow 💕
