As the leaves are turning and we still have unseasonably warm weather, we had the joy of photographing one of our favorite returning families for their annual session, the Grooms Family. We’ve worked together for several years now, and each fall brings not just a beautiful backdrop — but a reminder of how much has changes in a short year.

The kids have grown so much since last year. It’s always amazing to see how their personalities continue to blossom — more confident and more themselves. Capturing those in-between moments, the quick glances and inside jokes, is what makes these sessions so special.

This year, we had the perfect fall day. Soft sunlight filtering through the trees, warm tones all around, and a family full of love and laughter. It was the kind of session that makes us so grateful for what we do — not just photographing people, but helping them hold onto these fleeting chapters.

To the families who return year after year: thank you. It’s an honor to grow alongside you and we cherish every session with you!
