What an absolutely beautiful family fall photo session I had recently!

I know Lena and Steve from our wonderful Russian speaking community that we have in the area and I’m so grateful for that! They are a lovely family of 5 now as they welcomed their cute pup Rusty just a few months ago. As a family they like spending time at the beach, getting together with friends, and travel.

Their daughter Angelika is 10 years old now and likes dancing and acting. She does cartwheels all the time! (see an awesome one in Part 2 of this photo session!). Their son Julian is 6 years old and likes superheroes and to prank people and make them laugh.

It’s been a while since they had their family photos taken, and Steve and Lena wanted to make this one special. After thinking of possible locations, naturally, their dearest place came to mind… Their own home! We had a wonderful time in their backyard (which is just the prettiest with all the Fall foliage!), inside by their grand staircase, and in the piano room with Christmas decorations.

Make sure to check Part 2 of this photo session, with some photos by the pool, and at a little field nearby with beautiful views of the mountains as the sun settled behind the horizon.  What a wonderful way to end the day!
