"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

~L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

(Session was photographed in October, and published in November. ;-) )

When this family reached out to me for their yearly photo session, I immediately knew the perfect location with beautiful fall colors where their little girl would have room to run & explore.

Powisset Farm in Dover is becoming one of my new favorite locations. After an incredibly fun & beautiful family session there this summer, I was eager to visit the community farm again with the change of seasons. Driving along the road that leads to the farm was so breathtaking that I the moment the family jumped out of their car, we headed over to the quiet country road for a few quick photos to start our session together. The vibrant colors, the falling leaves, the sparkling light -- backdrops don't come any more gorgeous than New England in the fall!

Chiara is three, and anyone that has a three year old knows that children this age have a lot of personality. I love working with these little ones during our photo sessions and capturing their bright spirits on camera. At this age, children need lots of space to run and play, so outdoor locations are always ideal. While we always start with family photos, the moment I have the children by themselves they get excited, chatty, inquisitive, and playful. Did you know that sometimes the best way to get amazing photos of your children is actually to give them a little room and let them warm up to the photographer by themselves? It works every time! Just look at that smile! ;o)

And then it's right back to cuddles with mommy and daddy, which to a three year old are pretty much the best thing ever. I just love it when moms and dads get in the picture with their little ones and show them some love. mom and daughter fall photos rustic farm family photos with autumn colors
