It was way overdue - our last family picture was taken by me 3 years ago. So being in drive from all recent mini sessions I decided to get everybody ready, set the date and time and use the beautiful weather that this fall's been spoiling us with. It all worked pretty well except for the fact that my remote shutter release stopped working and I had to run back and forth to press the button on self timer... it was fun anyway... and no, the pictures are not perfect and I could swap heads forever in photoshop but I'm not going to do it - just leave it as it is :)

mini sessions | alexandria va family photographer

I love it when a mini session turns out like this one. I love shooting boys and since my own doesn't really like the idea of being "shot" - except in video games:) I'm really grateful for other families to bring their boys for me to photograph. And when it yields pictures as beautiful as the ones below I'm happy. I really have the best job in the world!

fall

I love fall...the colors, the crisp air, beautiful light, long evenings...yum
