chilly fall day, warm smiles and hearts

I headed out on a very chilly afternoon last week to shoot some photos of a beautiful family! You would never know how biting the wind was by the beautiful smiles and cheery moods of the Young family. They opted to spend some time at the University of Michigan diag as most of them are alums. Thanks for bearing the cold and being a delight to be around, Young family!!!

 

fall fun - leaves, layers, and family sessions

It's getting chillier, and I'm squeezing in a few shoots before the arrival of my second daughter! My third family session was a blast with a fellow resident's family whom I love spending time with. Colin and Cate are Evie's playmates, who along with their awesome mother, we love to see on a weekly basis. We headed out to the arboretum on a relatively chilly but beautifully lit afternoon to take some family shots.

ann arbor family photo shoot, take 2!

The more I shoot family sessions, the more I love them! I actually really enjoy being able to spend a little time with a friend's family and their little one, uninterrupted by my own little one. Beautiful Emma and her parents were no exception! We had a great time exploring the Ann Arbor Arboretum on probably the last 70 degree day of October. The weather was beautiful, as were they!

Thank you Aaron, Jenny, and Emma for being such a pleasure to spend an afternoon with!

an ann arbor fall family session

As mentioned in my previous post, Autumn is my favorite time of the year. Alas, along with the sweet comes the sour, and in this case specifically, cold rainy weather. I've actually had to cancel and reschedule three family sessions this season due to inclement weather. Since I shoot with natural light, this poses to be an obstacle. These models were such troopers!!! I had the opportunity to shoot this beautiful family last week. These photographs were actually taken over two sessions as a result of fickle mother nature. Evie's friend Logan, his baby sister Emerson, and their wonderful parents braved the elements like professionals. You would never know it was drizzling and frigid. It doesn't hurt that they are a gorgeous family, inside and out!

Thank you again, Karyn, Mark, Logan, and Emmy for being such sports!
