It’s no surprise that I get a ton of emails right around the end of September for fall family photos as the leaves begin to change and families decide they want some new photos at this gorgeous time of year. Often, the fall colours come and go so fast and there aren’t enough weekends in a month to schedule all of these sessions. This year, I planned some fall family mini sessions at the Arboretum in Ottawa. I got an overwhelming response in just the first few days of putting out the offer that I had to add on another 3 time slots AND schedule a few other sessions on different days throughout October. Ole!

Here are some of my fave photos of the awesome families I photographed over the course of last month. So weird to think that this wasn’t even a month ago…and now there’s fresh snow on the ground! Yikes!

There may be snow on the ground but it’s never too late to get some family photos! Whether it be an outdoor lifestyle session or a day in the life of your family at home, I would love to be there to capture it all.

If you don’t yet follow me on Facebook and Instagram, head on over and check out the awesome family photo giveaway I have going on!
