When things got busy this Fall, I cheated a bit and relied on Facebook for some of my sneak peeks. As a result, somehow I think I forgot to blog about this session at all! Which is truly a shame, because this is one of my favorite families — yet another repeat client this Fall (thank you wonderful families!)!
The following images, featuring the gorgeous Fall foliage this year in Washington, DC, are those that Kimmie specifically mentioned she wanted to display together; so I reedited all of them to ensure that every image complemented the others — so important for a wall display!
Above – we’d gotten off to a tricky start, with little boy I absolutely fascinated by the Fall leaves. Of course, we all were — that’s why we wanted to photograph in the Fall! — but it was no easy task getting past that intense concentration! But, of course, we still managed lots of great images.
I love a family that includes their dog in their family photo. 
One of my favorite things about photographing the G family is that they always include their dog, Sadie. Isn’t she beautiful? As a dog parent myself, this image just tugs at my heart, full of the trust our pets have for us.
Did I mention that I got these printed on metallic paper and they kept all the brightness and life that our backlit LCD monitors show…. Stunning!
