Mom kissing 6 month old baby boy outside in fall foliage

Rory ~ Beautiful Fall Family Photos

Written by Amber Sehrt on . Posted in Families.

Family of four with 3 year old daughter and 6 month old son sitting on a path outside in fallThis family has literally grown up before my eyes. I’ve photographed them twice a year for the past 3 years, and now their little boy Rory has turned 6 months old. It was just serendipity that his 6-month milestone session landed at the beginning of fall because it’s Mom’s favorite season every year. So we made the most of the fall colors and visited this popular trail in Glastonbury to capture their family just having fun together.

This beauty turned 3 a short while ago and is looking more grown up every day. If you want to see just how much she has grown, scroll back up when you have finished this post and review her milestone sessions: newborn, 6-months, 12 months, 2 years.

Mom playing with 6 month old baby boy on her lap on a path outside in fallThe best way to break through those blank expressions that babies love to give is to just play with them. Mom had a ball making Rory laugh.

I think Abby was trying to make sure that her brother didn’t keep chewing on his fingers. He has since gotten a tooth and Abby keeps checking every day to see if another one has sprouted up yet.

Family sessions with little ones can be a little nerve-racking because after all the planning and then just getting there on time, kids don’t always smile and show off their best side. But if you treat the session as a “family playdate” like this family did, I promise you, you’ll love the photographs in the end. That’s the secret.

If you would like to get your family photographed this fall, contact me as soon as possible. October is fully booked, but I do still have a few spots left for November. Because once the temperatures dip below 32 degrees, we are back in the studio until spring.
