These ages can be tricky regarding family sessions, but this family seems to have it figured out. Snack breaks, funny noises, movement, distraction techniques, and going with the flow are essential. My assistant entertains the kiddos off to the side while Mom and Dad get a mini date night moment, even if only for a couple of minutes.

With these smiling faces, would you believe me if I told you that this family session was in cold and rainy weather? We couldn’t let the last of the fall-colored leaves on the trees go to waste, so this family session was happening, rain or shine and these little ladies understood the assignment!

I’m so glad the Obrien family chose to update their family images at this beautiful location. We even snuck in a couple of images of just Mom and Dad together! And the lighting was *chefs kiss*!
