Fall is my favorite time of year. I love all the colorful leaves, the cooler weather, the football (and an added bonus is my birthday is also in October!) Another thing I love about fall is all the sessions! I was excited when my friend Cayley reached out about an extended family session. I have photographed her family a few times, and they are the sweetest! I met the Malone family at SIUE Gardens in Edwardsville, Illinois in October and the Gardens were in peak color! We found a few spots that made for a picture-perfect fall backdrop. Their outfits were on point- I loved the mix and match of blues and tans and creams. The grandparents even got to come out for some photos which made it even more special. I think my favorite photo from this session is the cousins all together on the bench though- how cute are they?
