I met this family at the 2010 "A Wonderful Life" event at my church, so it was really fun getting to work with them again for a fall mini-session!
This mama wasn't sure how the shoot would go, as it was their first real portrait session since the boys were born. I promised her it would go well, as I have a good amount of "smiles tricks" up my sleeve as a photographer.
I was out on a little exercise walk with Miles in the stroller about two hours before the mini-sessions that afternoon, and saw a beautiful tree with gorgeous leaves. Growing up in the midwest, that isn't an uncommon thing at all, but here in Texas, we don't get a whole lot of leaf-changing trees that turn bright red and orange. So I came back to that spot after our walk with a huge garbage bag and scooped a bunch of the leaves up... thinking that the kids in the upcoming mini-sessions would love them. And love them they did!
The boys did great! What handsome little guys they are, and what a sweet family of 4 the B's are. Happy New Year to you, B Family!
