The Bender twins came to the studio for their Christmas portraits.
They were second set of twins I have ever had in the studio and I loved having them.

My favorite shot from the session. The twins sit together on the handmade log bed that I crafted last year.

One of my new favorite locations for fall portraits is this old tree farm located in my home town.
You get a magical feeling standing in the hundred-foot tall pine trees,
which stand in straight rows from their days as an old Christmas Tree Farm.
They must have been abandon when the town claimed the property as public land
and left the to grow wildly amongst themselves. Fresh life grows around the edges of the property.

The Mulligan Family couldn't wait to have their family portraits in this location and the weather finally turned in our favor. 
I have enjoyed being able their daughter grow of the years. I look forward to capturing more of their memories in the future.

I decided to see what this location would look like if it were snowing.
What do you think?
Do you like the photos better as warm fall colors or as a cool winter wonderland scene?

Needed to post something for December and I was looking through past sessions when I came across these image from November 2015.

This family asked for a tree farm as their location and I was able to contact Indian Acres who gave me permission to come during business hours. We got to ride the tractor to a nice spot with some older tree where we would be out of the way of shoppers. I don't usually photograph families so it was exciting to have the four of them to work with.

During this session we used some use props like a sled I brought along, the blanket you see below, Santa Hats, red plastic Christmas Tree balls, and beaded strings. Everyone had fun and the the kids got to play around being goofy.
