The Great Fall

Fall is upon us, the leaves are turning colors...making for fabulous backgrounds. Anyone up for some family photos?

The Chivas Family photoshoot was so much fun and they had a big secret in store! This was not only a family photoshoot, but also a pregnancy announcement shoot, as well. I was honored to take their photos and know their little secret early on (it's so hard for me to keep secrets). What a cute little family with a new, healthy baby boy!

The Hilario Family was like a mini reunion with Joy and I. We were high school classmates back in the day at Green Run High School. She contacted me for her family photos (I want to say the first ever?). I finally met her gorgeous family...such down-to-earth people. We were reminiscing during the whole shoot. Yes, we're nerds.

The Best Family was, well, what can I say, they live up to their name! I could feel the love with this family. This shoot was in the middle of December when it was 80 degrees outside (what?!). So, I had the Best Family during the best weather (see, I told ya!). What a good looking family!

It's a generational thing...

This year was my first year to try a generational photo shoot. You might have seen it before on Pinterest or other photography sites. It's the one where you have three or four generations of family members each holding a frame with a photo of another family member from another generation. Well, I was approached by a client to see if I can do this for her. I had taken her family photos a while back when her mother was still with us and not long after, she passed away. She asked if I could do a generational photo using a photo of her that I took then. I was all in for the challenge. It turned out great! Not only was she pleased with the results, she was overwhelmed with emotion. I did another generational photoshoot after that, slightly different, but still turned out perfect! Here they are:

Next up, is not really like the ones above, but it's still kind of a generational thing, per say. A few years back, when I was pregnant with my son, a lady at work came to me and asked if I could take photos of her Aunt. Her Aunt was to turn 100 years old in a couple of months. I jumped at the opportunity! I had never met anyone that age before. She was a cute, feisty little lady, that's for sure. I asked her when her birthday was and she told me it was April 13th. I told her my son was due sometime in April. Well, he was born on April 12th...which would make them one day shy of 100 years apart! My coworker and I have been talking about bringing them together for a photo shoot and we finally did it four years after her 100th birthday. Here are the results:

Interested in doing your own generational thing? Let me know!
