If there's any set of pictures to convince you to book a fall mini session, this is the one. Granted, we were given absolutely PERFECT Seattle fall weather that day - crisp air, crunchy leaves, golden sunshine... but weather aside, I think this shows just how fabulous fall can be in our gorgeous city. We spent our time wandering about Volunteer Park's giant trees and soaking up the last sun rays of the afternoon, while Emmy giggled as she shuffled through the large orange leaves.

Yelena is also a total superstar at planning the most beautiful outfits for her family. I need to take tips from her when I plan outfits for my own family photos! I might have to do a roundup of all their mini sessions over the years at some point - they're all seriously so gorgeous, and they show off Yelena's fashion skills!

Enjoy these perfectly golden family pictures!

This golden fall afternoon was the perfect backdrop for a quick mini-shoot with some of our dearest friends! It was also just warm enough to merit skirts and rolled up sleeves, as opposed to puffy vests and boots. Sometimes all you need to capture the essence of a family is ten minutes, soft, lazy sunshine and a path scattered with crispy leaves and fading summer grasses. The kids were in silly, smiley moods that kept us all giggling and brought such life to my camera!

I'm so thankful for these five wonderful people and the joy and love they've brought to each member of my family!

This in-home family session was a dream come true!

I was just a little excited about the sheer amount of natural light that streamed into Kurt & Brittany's bedroom, setting the stage for a soft, simple and stunning family session. Sometimes all you need is one room with great light to capture all the moments you're hoping for!

Little Cora was a complete angel and didn't seem to mind the outfit changes and positioning that comes with being on camera... her big brother was also a great helper and followed directions as well as any two year old can! You can tell from the images that Ben is a sweet and caring boy and he truly loves his little sister.

Congratulations to this sweet family of four!
