What a year in family photos! My busiest season of the year is fall, and it’s usually a blur. I am always so grateful when I have the chance to look back through all the photos from the year.

Print those photos! The task can be so daunting, but the theme here is not perfection, in my house, it’s always a work in progress.

Another family that I am so lucky to see for portraits year after year is the Melahouris family.
