Fall Inspiration: Dumpe Family

I have a whole lotta shoots that didn't get blogged last year, so I thought I would do a little "Fall Inspiration" series to both highlight the great families from last fall and to get the wheels turning for clothing and location inspiration.

Meet the Dumpe Family. It was great to photograph their family again. You may have seen them on my website. People are always referencing their shoot and even wanting to recreate some of the poses.

I think they did a great job layering for fall. The day of their family session was pretty darn cold, and rather than try to disguise that, they embraced it with scarves, vests, and hats, all of which add interest to their pictures. Enjoy!

Bazella Family

I smile every time I look at these pictures. This beautiful family was a lot of fun to photograph. The little boy was very sweet and happy, but started to get a little tired. We decided to get him to sleep and then do some pictures in his birthday suit. However, he woke up after a quick snooze, realized there were no clothes to tie him down, and he was happy happy. This is probably the first time I have ever done "naked baby pictures" outside, but it might be the new normal.

Hauck Family

Hurray! These twins boy have just celebrated their first birthday. It was a lot of fun to photograph them and it was amazing to see how similar some of their movements were. Their beautiful sister came along and rocked the camera {at six years old, I might add}. What a pleasure.
