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…

happy fall…taylor & anika…

i have been photographing these little girls for 3 fall seasons now…it has been so fun to watch them grow and see their sweet little personalities develop.   we shared a beautiful fall evening for photos.  the air was warm and the light was stunning.  this family is expecting a new addition to their family in december and taylor and anika are going to be the best big sisters.  i cannot wait to see all of the kisses that baby boy metz will receive.:)  thank you, sara…i always love our time together.
