I was shocked to realize I had yet to blog about this family session from mid October.  Then I remembered why I hadn’t. There were SO MANY shots I was having a tough time editing them down to a reasonable number and ultimately just gave up!  Well today is the day, so get ready for some heart melting adorableness.

I headed up to Kennebunk for this family photo session.  There were three adorable + rambunctious kids, cute hats, tutu’s, piles of leaves, pumpkins, matching dresses, gorgeous fall foliage … so many amazing photo opportunities!  These three kids were no strangers to my lens. I had been up in Kennebunk for the youngest’s newborn photos about year before.

So let’s see if I can give you a taste of each of the things I listed above, in that order! Starting with “three adorable + rambunctious kids” (and their mama):

Next, “cute hats” on adorable children (I added the last part, it’s fitting!):

Thank God for little girl babies in tutu’s.  Her solo shots away from her siblings, this was little Cate’s time to shine in her 1 year old portraits!  She had a blast exploring the tutu and stumbling around … most of the time with the cutest, infectious smile plastered across her face.

PILES OF LEAVES! Well, one very special pile of leaves collected from neighbors and friends yards for this very purpose:

Their mom had me create a storyboard of the “jumping in leaves” series and I thought you might like to check it out. If you’re interested in a creative way to display your photos from our session, I would highly suggest going this route. Here is a blog post with some information on storyboards.

Let’s see, what’s next? Oh yes, pumpkins!  And they appear to be HIGH-LARIOUS!

You’ve seen the matching dresses and gorgeous fall foliage already, so I thought I’d share a set of sisterly love photos with you instead.  This is a shot of the two sisters about a year before for Cate’s newborn photos:

And here is this year’s shot:
