A Beautiful October Morning with the Thorntons | Lafayette Park Family Session
October mornings like this one are exactly why I love fall sessions! A crisp 60-degree morning, the prettiest light filtering through the trees, colorful flowers still in bloom, and the lushest garden setting at Lafayette Park. It was such a beautiful morning to spend time with the Thornton family!
Maegan and Matt reached out to have me photograph their family for the first time, and I was so excited! We actually know each other through South City Community School, where our kids attend school together. Their son Oliver is in the same class as my son Louis, so it was especially fun to get to spend some time with their family outside of school pickup and drop-off!
Oliver and his little sister, Tinley, were an absolute joy to photograph. They are both so social and sweet, and they were ready to jump right into all my little games and prompts. We had so many smiles and lots of fun together, which always makes my job easy!
We spent our morning exploring the sunken garden and Victorian Bridge at Lafayette Park, surrounded by colorful flowers and beautiful greenery. The light coming through the trees was just perfect, giving everything that soft, dreamy glow I love so much.
One of my favorite things about photographing families is getting to know people beyond the everyday places we see each other. What a gift to get to know the Thorntons a little better and capture these memories of their family!
Maegan and Matt, thank you for inviting me to photograph your sweet family. I'm so glad we finally got to make this happen, and I hope these images bring you so much joy as you look back on this season with Oliver and Tinley!
