Fall is one of my favorite times to photograph families. The light feels softer, the air is cooler, and everyone seems to relax a little more. This session had all of that and more.

Teddy showed up with his baseball and didn’t waste a minute getting started. The girls brought their dolls and were quick to show them off before running off to play. It was exactly the kind of energy that makes these sessions so fun to photograph.

Most of the time, the kids were in motion. Running, laughing, exploring. Those are always my favorite moments. The ones that happen in between. Parents watching, kids doing their thing, and everyone just enjoying the time together.

The leaves were starting to turn, and the sun gave us that warm golden light that makes fall so pretty. We didn’t need anything fancy. Just a family being together and a few toys that made the kids happy.

By the end, we had a gallery full of smiles, movement, and the kind of photos that remind you what this stage of life feels like. Messy, full of energy, and completely worth remembering.
