Remember the days when you could start to smell wood burning in the crisp, cool air? When we got excited for sweaters, boots and all things pumpkin? During those dreamy cool days I got to meet up with several families to capture one last outdoor session before winter.

Many families use mini sessions for an updated family photo, to capture a phase of life, Christmas/holiday card image as well as for Christmas gifts! With that in mind, I waited until after the new year to share these beautiful images. Each session receives a minimum of five images however I am just going to share a few of each.

Just going through these again was such a joy, remembering all the unique and lovely personalities and faces, I have so much affection for each family and session! I hope you enjoy going through these as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
