The {G} Family | Family Portraits | Riverside, IA

It was such a pleasure to meet the {G} family at their countryside home for their family portrait session! We took their pictures several years ago, back when there were only two sweet little girls to photograph. It was time for an update!

We got to do this session outside the {G} family’s home, right in their yard. Late October, the trees were all lovely autumn colors while the grass was still hanging on to its greenness. What a perfect backdrop. We love getting to capture families in their “natural habitat,” documenting the beauty of everyday moments.

Cuddles and tickles! These three girls were just about too cute to handle.

We absolutely love the outfit coordination here. Sometimes when families aren’t sure what to wear for their portrait sessions, we suggest patterns and colors that “go,” not necessarily match. The mixing of different plaids, florals, and a few colors that complement each other is spot on.

Even more cuddles! It was a chilly day, and rained about 10 minutes after we finished up taking pictures. These little girls were such troopers on a cold and gray day.

But of course there’s always a point where “sit and smile” is too much to ask, especially for the littlest ones! We gave this sweetheart a break to snuggle with mom right after this picture. But to be honest, we love this very true-to-life moment…it’s a little bit of sad, sweet and funny all rolled into one.
