We scheduled this fun, leaf-tossing family session just in time, before little Rhys James decided to enter the world extra early! I had the wonderful opportunity to meet the newest little family member a couple days ago, and mom and baby are doing great!

From Tall Trees Towering High
When I was a kid, autumn was magic (any season was, for that matter). I haven’t lost the wonder in the brilliance of those trees turning from green to red, nor of the spark of delight when I kick up browned leaves under my feet as I walk through the street. Discarded leaves smell like earth and mold. Flower blooms hang on for dear life through maybe two more days. I realize it’s time to wear my gloves again as the morning chill reaches into my fingers.
I wrote this poem when I was young, I know there’s more to it, but this is all I can remember:
“Autumn leaves drifting, drifting down
From tall trees towering high
Onto soft beds of brown
Underneath the clear blue sky.”
Experiencing Autumn for the First Time
There’s nothing like watching a child enjoying all the fun things of autumn for the first time– eating apples, playing in the leaves, and wearing sweaters! Adorable Wylie was a delight to photograph, and despite the chilly temperatures, he had a smile on his face through almost the entire session. Thank you, Wylie, for sharing those baby blues with us!
