We searched for red trees with no people around.

Hoping that we could capture the glory of fall in all its splendor.

But since all the beautiful trees were taken, we picked our own cool locations.

On the streets in front of houses, in the woods under trees, and on the sloshy, muddy ground.

Because family can be family anywhere. :)

Brian and Amanda - we did it!! Your kids were troopers and you were so patient as we avoided the crowds and made our own plan work. I’m delighted with how wonderful these photos turned out and I hope you love them too! :)

I must warn you to prepare yourself.

I’m about to share an overwhelming amount of family joy..

(I just really couldn’t contain myself.)

If I haven’t said it enough yet, I’ll say it again… photographing families is my FAVORITE.

And when people I already know and love hire me to photograph their family, it makes my job that much more delightful.

It gives me such a unique perspective to capture their personalities!

In the Dickinson household, everyone loves baseball.

So we found the most adorable little field where the sunshine just glowed.

We passed the baby (and some baseballs) back and forth… And finished off with a dance party.

It really doesn’t get any better than that.

Mike and Jen, we really really love you and your family SO much. Thanks for trusting me (again) with your wonderful family photos and for putting up with all my crazy ideas!! I hope you enjoy them. :)
