Fall Mini Sessions Full of Smiles and Color
Mini session Saturday did not disappoint. The leaves were beautiful, the weather was kind, and every family brought their best smiles and energy.
Last Saturday’s fall mini sessions were such a joy. We had a perfect fall day with cool air, soft light, and leaves showing off all their color. I couldn’t have asked for better weather or better families.
Each session had its own little story. Some families I’ve known for years and others were new faces, but everyone showed up ready to laugh and have fun. The kids were full of energy, running around, climbing, giggling; and those in-between moments ended up being some of my favorites.
We kept things short and sweet, but somehow captured so much personality in that time. The mix of real smiles, silly moments, and quiet snuggles is what I love most about these mini sessions.
I left the day tired in the best way and with a camera full of genuine, happy faces. Can’t wait to share more from these beautiful sessions soon.
Fall Mini Sessions at Fort C.F. Smith Park
A look back at our beautiful fall mini sessions in Arlington, VA, at Fort C.F. Smith Park—featuring golden light, genuine smiles, and one of the best weather days we've had all season.
The Fort C.F. Smith mini sessions turned out better than we could have asked for. We had to reschedule because of rain in the forecast the previous weekend (that never happened….) Still, it worked out. The new date gave us one of the most beautiful fall mornings.
The light was soft and glowy. The breeze was light. Everyone showed up ready to go and the kids brought their A-game.
Every family brought something fun to their session. Lots of laughs, sibling silliness, and sweet little moments in between. And even a little puppy! These mini sessions move fast, but we still get a great mix of posed and candid shots. You’d be surprised what we can get in 15 minutes.
And yes, we got those holiday card photos. But also the ones where kids are being goofy or snuggling with mom or chasing bubbles. Those are the ones you’ll keep coming back to.
Thanks to everyone who stuck with me through the reschedule. It ended up being one of my favorite days this fall.
