lovely fall, lovely family…

the metz family is a long time client of mine…sara, who is the mom of this wonderful family is someone i admire so much.  she always walks with  a calmness that just eases those around her.  she has become a dear friend to me and i am always in envy when i go into her family’s home.  she has photos of her sweet family everywhere you turn.  she always has a plan in mind of what she wants to do with her memories…i wish some of her creative juices would rub off on me in my own home.:)  i actually just took photos of this family a few weeks ago.  but, for this shoot, sara wanted a completely non staged session.  just life as it is.  so, that is what we did…i snapped away without telling her family to look at me.  it is a joy to watch families interact, being themselves and love each other like i was not even there.  here are a few of my favorites…
