Fall with the Blakes | Chattanooga Family Photographer

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of enjoying the gorgeous fall weather and getting outdoors at one of my favorite locations to photograph this gorgeous family of 3.


I don't know if you can tell from the images, but the little guy - just over a year old - is an adorable little maniac!  I think I got more exercise chasing him for an hour than I did the whole week before!  It was a blast and my husband has caught me grinning ear to ear often while I'm working on their images - such infectious smiles!


The colors are just gorgeous right now.  And the weather is perfect!  I. Love. Fall.


Also, I love how Mom styled her family.  Their colors all coordinate with the season as well as one another, but they don't necessarily match.  They're all comfortable in what they're wearing and it shows.  Comfortable clients are easier to pose and enjoy the session more than those worried about how their clothes are fitting.  I'll be posting more soon on ideas for photo shoot outfits soon, but this is a great example of well thought-out style!  Go, Mom!

And the location?  Greenway Farm - it's the spot I've selected for Saturday's mini sessions.  Have you booked yours yet?  You should - there are still a few slots left!

I Heart Faces Challenge: Hands Up

I love hands.  I L.O.V.E. them.  I had the hardest time picking ONE photo for this.  It seriously drove me bonkers.  I was going to give up entirely and had turned to organizing my personal photo folders on my hard drive when I found this gem:


This is my husband helping one of our little girls button her rain coat.  It's such a tender, sweet moment... This daddy loves his baby girls to the moon and back and seeing him care for them so devoutly makes me love him all that much more too.

Sigh.
