The golden hour on October 13th in Tower Grove Park was nothing short of magical—the very first whispers of fall color were just starting to peek through the trees, painting the perfect backdrop for family portraits. I had the pleasure of kicking off my Mini Sessions with the Wessels family, a delightful crew referred to me by one of my current clients. Lindsay and Ryan, along with their three energetic kids—Quinn, Owen, and Addison—arrived ready to shine.

From the moment we started, this family was all in. The kids were eager participants in every picture prompt and game I threw their way, their great moods infectious and making the 15-minute session fly by in a blur of laughter and genuine moments. Quinn, Owen, and Addison were absolute troopers. Lindsay and Ryan were a wonderful to work with—super easygoing and fun. It was one of those sessions where everything just clicks, capturing the heart of their family dynamic against that soft autumn glow.
