What a gorgeous time of year…. precisely why everyone wants to do their annual family pictures in the FALL! With peak color falling (ha!) around the second week of November, we were deeply buried in moving preparations and posting fall family sessions fell through the cracks! Here is a quick recap of some of my favorite images for fall 2011:
the Virgin Family – last year they were new neighbor/friends… this year they are some of our dearest neighbor/friends… our kids absolutely love each other. the family simply cannot take a bad picture if they tried. holy cow. we caught some amazing light at Brookside Gardens and had a lovely time together!!
and the Perieck family…. our original session, down on the beautiful DC tidal basin was a bust because it was soooooooo cold. Poor little Max couldn’t even dream of smiling. So we met up in my neighborhood and enjoyed some late season color AND Max’s beautiful smile.
and then there are the Knowltons… dear friends and neighbors who are especially cool to me because they have chickens. oh yeah, and not just any chickens, chickens with attitude and personality. and their son, Jeremiah, is one of our favorite little friends in the ‘hood. I took Adelaide with me on this shoot, as my assistant, and she sang and sang to Jeremiah to get those classic Jeremiah smiles and laughs! My cheeks were hurting after this session, from all the smiling and laughing I was doing behind the camera!
and finally, the Fortunato family…. I had the honor of meeting them and working with them this past summer, and we were able to squeeze in a Fall session before it was all said and done. Ollie is a DOLL…. his smile and big blue eyes are just to die for. I so enjoy working with clients through the year(s)… it gives me much joy to help document and see the growth and milestones of these kiddos!
