The S Family {Family Photographer: Slidell, Louisiana}

With the time change comes so many things. There's the obvious, getting dark early, leaves changing, cooler weather. But there is so much more to embrace about Fall. Louisiana has its own version of Fall, completely different from other regions of the country. It seems to take ages for a cold front to finally reach us, and by the time it does, its already dissipating. So until mid December, we flirt with 80 degrees for a few days, then we don't reach 65 degrees for a few days. But there are the days of transition between, where something fabulous happens. There are no mosquitoes, no icy breeze, no sweltering heat. Its like Louisiana feels just like the inside of a house with the thermostat set on 70. Its.... perfect.

And The S Family soaked up every last second of the perfection that was this Friday afternoon. Hearing little Man D tell Momma S about how beautiful the landscape was and how we might never be so lucky to see such a gorgeous sunset again. Talk about perspective.



These were the sweetest twins, and they were so fun to watch. I made a comment to their grandmother about how nice they were to each other, and to be honest, my brother would have pushed me into the water by this point. But the connection between twins is so different. "They just love each other so much," she said. They were watching out for each other, and for their momma.



It was a lovely site to see: Momma S, Grandmother S, Mommas close Friend B, and Twins D and T, all happy and so thankful for each other. It was a privilege to be able to see such support and love throughout this family.



And oh, man, the BIG brothers, their gorgeous chocolate labs, were such a part of the family, they just belonged in their family portraits.


And then, something happened. Something that I have never had happen during a photo shoot, ever. I caught rays of sunshine. Not sun spots, not a glare. Actual rays of sunshine. It was absolutely incredible.






Momma S, thank you so much for asking me to take your portraits! I had a great time, but its always easy with a family as beautiful as yours!
