Have I told you how much I love taking family photos? :)  And, especially outdoors and ESPECIALLY in the fall?!

I met a wonderful family, the dWs, through a mutual friend - they have four adorable daughters - and I had the privilege of taking their pictures one October afternoon in Griffith Woods. Their girls were so well behaved and cooperative.  Even the baby, at 8 months, was so responsive when I called her name from behind the lens.  The combination of late fall colors and the kids' bright pink sweaters created such striking photos!  Never mind the fact that the whole family is so photogenic!

I had so many favorites from that photo session - I'll spare you and just share the best of the best. 

I asked them to pose this "crazy" shot....but I'm pretty sure that with four kids, this is sometimes what it's like!

The dW's were the first referral family I had the chance to shoot. I'm so happy that they trusted me to take their photos and that the shoot went beyond well! They now have some lovely pictures to proudly display on their wall or send in Christmas cards in a few weeks.  There is still time to get your family photos done in time for Christmas!  Let me know!
