Leaves, the Dog, and Games Make Gorgeous Family Portraits | Family Children Photographer Glastonbury, Connecticut

This family lives right next door, so to say I know their kids and backyard is an understatement. When Mom suggested that we just hang out back there to make their fall family portraits, I was so thrilled! Kids really show you their personalities when they are comfortable in their environment, and if they feel like they are in control, all the better. This serious little kindergartener and precocious three year old were a dream to work with and didn’t disappoint in the smile department. Once the leaves were raked into properly shaped and high-enough piles, all the giggles let loose! Even Mom and Dad got in on the fun and made some great memories with their kiddos. The best part though, is that every time they walk by these images hanging on their wall they are going to remember what each smile meant and felt like. Its one of the easiest ways I know of making sure you smile every day.
