I love photographing families in fall. Cute sweaters, red cheeks and autumn colors – what’s not to love?

Mason is a little shy when I first meet him.

Isn’t he handsome?

Look, a leaf!

What a beautiful family! I love the colors they’re wearing, too. Mason in his blue and gray argyle sweater, mom with the matching blue shirt and burnt umber v-neck sweater, and dad in a classic white button down shirt.

We walk around and take some action photos.

Mason’s not shy anymore!

Mason loves his mommy! (And I love her reddish-brown boots!)

One more family portrait…

… and then it’s time to say good-bye. Thank you for a great family portrait session!

Two-year-olds are usually the most difficult to photograph. They don’t like to stand still and have a mind of their own. These are not bad things, just challenging.

Archer was no different.

Archer did not like standing still. (All the the house photos in this blog post have the number blurred out for privacy reasons.)

Mom and Dad would sit and Archer would run.

The key to photos of kids is action shots. Archer loves the leaves so why not let him have fun? As Archer is playing, I keep taking photos.

Look Mom! I love leaves!

I love his racecar sweater! Cute sweater for a cute boy!

Finally, even this two-year-old is a little tired and wants to rest.

Dad with his little boy.

We went for a little walk.

It was time to walk home…
