Another Fall Day, Another Beautiful Family

More fall pictures of another great family. Their oldest boy is about the same age as my oldest daughter, and oh, how this friend and I have bonded in the past few years over parenting struggles. I love wrestling through tough parenting issues together, knowing I'm not alone, and encouraging each other by telling ourselves that our kids will be great adults someday! Being raised in this family, I have no doubt that these boys will be amazing when they grow up.

A Gold Star

To finish off my first weekend of the fall season, I spent yesterday afternoon at the beautiful Belle Meade Plantation with this super fun family. To add just a little bit of pressure, this friend of mine is also a photographer. Flattering that she trusted me to take her family pictures, but intimidating? Just a little bit :)

What makes a 2-year old boy smile directly in to the camera? A passing train, of course. That was lucky for us!

This is what happens when you try to take family photos with a 2-year old. Wait....come back here!

I had a great time, once again. This family really is super fun. Amazing people who can hold a 7-week old baby while watching their 2-year old boy run away from the camera, then still smile and have fun during a photo session - laid back, happy, great sense of humor -  they definitely deserve a gold star!

Fall Photo Season Is Here!

Fall photo season began yesterday for me. I kicked it off with a new lens, perfect weather, and a beautiful family. What more could I ask for? We spent yesterday afternoon at the gorgeous home of my friend's parents here in Nashville...

This was a split second before the sweetest brother/sister kiss ever! I think it's obvious that this baby girl adores her big brother.

Thanks to the G Family for being my first fall family session! We had a great time, as I always do when I'm around this sweet family. Enjoy this preview of the pictures from our afternoon together!
