I've photographed this family many times but these may be my favorite session from all. The colors, oh the colors! I always forget how much I love Fall; it's only when the leaves start to change that I'm in love with it all over again. This year in particular it's been beautiful because of the wonderful weather that has allowed us to walk over leaves and pick them while feeling the cool breeze, free of heavy coat and gloves. I don't think we experienced Fall last year.

Anyway, back to the session. I was surprised when I went over the images on my computer. With a toddler running around and wanting to play it's hard sometimes to photograph them but the trick is to play along, get on their level, forget about the perfect portrait and enjoy the moment with them. You may be pleasantly surprised.
