The sun was low. The air was crisp. It was the most gorgeous October day for family portraits.

We only spent a short amount of time together – it was chilly up on that hill! – but I’m so glad I got to capture this family and some of the moments of love that they share. Infectious laughter while dad made grass whistle, snuggled up close in a blanket with mom, the sweetest little girls and just a small glimpse into who they are. Because life is ever changing and children always seem to grow up in the blink of an eye.
