I love fall family photos. Like, really love them.
The softer landscapes. The golden light. The tiny bit of relief in the air after a Texas summer. Even the earlier sunsets that mean we can make something beautiful and still get your babies home to bed at a reasonable hour.
But I don’t want to rush any of it.
You already did the work to get everyone here. You chose the outfits, dressed the kids, fixed the hair, wiped the faces, found the missing shoe, planned around naps and snacks and somehow got your whole family out the door.
When you get to me, I don’t want you watching the clock.
I don’t want your kids to feel like they need to warm up, cooperate, smile, and be done because we have a schedule to keep and another family about to walk up. I don’t want to see how quickly I can get the shot. I want to see what happens when we give your family enough time to forget about the photos altogether.
Time for your kids to decide they like me. To wander off and investigate something. To need a minute with Mom. To be silly, shy, wild, clingy, curious, completely themselves.
You already notice it all. The way they’re changing. The things they do that you know they won’t do forever. I want to give you the space to simply be there with them, while I pay attention to everything you’ll want to remember.
We’ll make the beautiful photo where everyone is together. But we’ll also make the ones you couldn’t have planned.
The way she reaches for you. His belly laugh. The little hand wrapped around your finger. The look your spouse gives the people you made together. All the tiny things happening right now that will change before you know it.
That’s how I photograph families all year long, and fall is no different.
So yes, pick your Christmas card photo from your gallery. Pick three.
But let’s make the rest for you.
Fall has been booking for a while now, and October–December availability is getting slim. If family photos have been on your mind this year, now’s the time. 🤎
