Middle of October. Eighty Degree Weather. I don’t think those two things typically belong together – especially in Michigan – but this weekend was the exception. Typically when you think fall photos, you picture sweaters. Although it made for some great photos, the Austin family and I were sweating! Don’t get me wrong – I am not complaining. I would take the 80 degree weather over blustery cold fall days (and definitely over SNOW) any day, but it did make for a hot session! We met yesterday morning at Asylum Park (can you tell that’s becoming one of my favorite spots?! :D) and found cool leaves, sticks, and acorns. Phil and Jen reigned their children in like pros and the kids? Happy. Smiley. Talkative. Just the way I like it! Phil decided a few months ago that Jen would appreciate a family session for her birthday, so he gave her a gift certificate for a session with me! What a great idea! 😉 Enough with the chatting… on to the pictures!
There was lots of tickling and playing going on!
And smelling of flowers…
And raspberries…
Such a happy little family!
Aren’t Cole’s eyes just beautiful!? I even got to snuggle this guy on our way out of the park!! Aren’t you jealous? 🙂
Ellee’s giggles were priceless! Daddy definitely knows how to make this one smile!
Caiden loved finding all the cool leaves… and shaking them out of the tree 🙂
Phil & Jen, you have been blessed with some beautiful kiddos!! It was a pleasure spending the morning with you guys!
