Family and the changing foliage

Sometimes plain backdrops are effective. Their simplistic nature draws more attention to your subject. When fall comes around we get a chance to oppose that idea in a way, including the background in a way that adds to the subjects and is a sort of timepiece.

This beautiful family chose this time of year to have family portraits taken. The changing foliage presents a prevailing feeling of change reminding me of the circle of life. In these photos I feel the energy and love emanating through their interactions with each other.

Part of what I truly enjoy about photography is the opportunity to record history for families and individuals. Something that years in the future, families can cherish and for a brief moment, return to this beautiful fall day among the changing foliage.
