Happy Fall, friends! What a beautiful fall season we have had here in the Midwest! Despite the dry weather, the leaves have been providing quite a display of golden yellows, vivid oranges, deep reds, and warm browns! I love driving around and simply admiring the beauty as I run errands or take the boys to hockey practices. Add sunlight shining through and it can be so magical! And that is one reason why fall is such a popular time for family portraits! Milder temperatures are also another reason, allowing for a wider variety of wardrobe/styling options! That’s not the topic of today’s post though!
I met Rachel through her sister, Amanda, and her family. I had taken maternity and newborn photos for Amanda’s family, and I was honored that Rachel reached out for her wedding day. And since photographing Rachel and Scott’s gorgeous wedding day, I’ve been catching up with them each year for family photos, and it’s just the best!! Their precious daughter, Emma, recently turned 4, so it was fun to chat with her during our annual session! It seems like yesterday that we were taking maternity photos in her adorable room while anxiously awaiting her arrival!! And now she is 4!
Mornings can be a fantastic time for portraits! We were blessed with a lovely fall morning for this session with golden sunshine peeking through trees and the perfect fall atmosphere at Providence Home + Garden. A huge thank you for being a wonderful host!
It’s time to share some of my favorites from this autumn morning with the sweetest family! It was the best way to start my day! Rachel, Scott, and Emma, thank you so much for sharing your morning with me and for being a joy and delight to be around!! Hugs to you!!
The pictures are so SWEET!!! This family just “beams” with happiness & the location is GREAT!!!
