Fall is Jill and John’s favorite season. What better time to bring out their little sports fan Jadon for his first photoshoot? At 5 months old Jadon is quite the Illinois State and Toronto Maple Leaf fan. They were right at home surrounded by the beautiful changing foliage – they love the fall so much their home is decorated in the colors of the season. Such a happy family.

Marc and Katie have such a beautiful family. Hard to believe that Joey is 18 months old! Katie was quite the proud momma to see her children cooperate and follow directions and be completely comfortable and candid during our session. At 18 months Joey is learning and exploring the world! Walking, playing and keeping up with big sister Lydia. He’s going to have to be quick; Lydia is a runner and chatting up a storm. Marc shared that this is his favorite session they have had with us. What a wonderful compliment, we look forward to capturing many more milestones with Marc, Katie, Lydia and Joey.

In preparation for the upcoming holiday season Ethan and Sophie decided to do a photo session with us this fall. The fall colors make for a gorgeous background. Their cats Neuske (black) and Bootsie (gray) joined in on the fun. Pets are family too! Ethan and Sophie’s Christmas cards are sure to be stunning.

Ahhh, the crisp breeze, vibrant orange, gold and red adorning the tree tops. Autumn is here!
This is one of our favorite times of year for photos, nothing compares to nature’s backdrop of
transforming foliage. As quickly as Autumn falls in it falls out, get an Autumn session booked
before the winds of change blow through again!

The trees were starting to loose their leaves, but we found a couple that made the background look wonderful!

The wind was blowing quite a bit, but the couple sure had a lot of fun!

Dan and Katey tossed some leaves, then had a fight!

Beautiful day with beautiful people!

I love the fall colors, but sadly, they last but a short while. We found these beautiful maples outside our place. Leeann suggested that we take photos of them, and I thought I could do it later. The next day, we had cameras with us since we were returning from a family photo session. Again, we saw the trees. This time, I took a few shots before going inside. And I’m glad I did, because the next time I looked, the leaves were gone.

I originally thought to title this post “Carpe Diem”, until I looked up the wikipedia entry which brings up the existential connotations of a life without faith (“Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die” – 1 Corinthians 15:32)
