Full on Fall / Tennessee Family Photography

Although it may not feel like it when I step outside my FL doors these days it is all fall inside my photo studio. After taking off a week from photography for my brother's wedding this past weekend, my camera and I have been going on photography adventures all week long to capture some awesome family moments in full on fall sessions. Throughout the week I found myself talking about how excited I was for each shoot as I reminisced about the last time we gathered together. It didn't dawn on me until well into the week that every one of the three family sessions I have had so far this week were repeat customers. What a compliment to be hired again and again by a family. And what fun it is for me to watch a family grow, to be greeted by smiling little familiar faces eagerly waiting my arrival. I have held more tiny hands as we crossed streets and wandered about and have received more kisses and hugs and professions of love from 3-5 year olds this week than I have in a long time. My heart is full...

(...and my fall photo season calendar is just about filled up too. I only have 5 slots left for booking in time for Christmas cards and gifts. Email me at cmprietz@yahoo.com to set up your session pronto.)

With all this fall-ness I couldn't help but to think back to the frenzy of last year and the beautiful family sessions I never got around to sharing. So today I am taking you back to one year ago when I hopped on a plane to Tennessee to spend a bliss filled few days with the Dowd family that included off road adventures, frolics in sunlight tree-lined fields and three little ones working their way into my heart in no time at all. All of which took place in the glorious fall setting of Tennessee, a photographer's dream-land.
