A few weekends ago, I had the pleasure of working with this fabulous family from Hunt Valley, MD for their fall family portraits. Talk about having a blast– these kids were all smiles and giggles the entire time. Even when an acorn fell right out of the sky on the little guy’s head, he jumped right back in the game with a smile on his face. Mom and Dad, you are going to have a trio of heartbreakers on your hands.

Does it get any better than this? Laughing in the sun is a great way to start your family portraits.

Some girl time. I love Moms and Daughters– they share a special bond that you just don’t see anywhere else.

And of course, we can’t leave out the boys in a typical father-son roughhousing moment. Do they look alike or what?

I am always sure to get a few minutes with just Mom and Dad for a couples portrait. And it helps to have my 3 new assistants trying to get their parents to smile for the camera!

Sibling snuggles. I love seeing relationships in how the kids decide to cuddle up.

A headshot of each. These three were some of the best behaved kids, and with a great sense of humor. They had me laughing the whole time.

Each of these family portraits needs to stand alone. I can’t decide which of these three I like better. Snuggled and laughing…
