Fall 2010 has been great so far, with some beautiful colors and backgrounds for a multitude of portraits – from seniors to bridal to families and children! I love to photograph outdoors and this time of year is one of my favorites for capturing families amongst some of nature’s most amazing colors.
I always love trying out new locations to find different backgrounds and places I can use to create unique portraits for my clients, so I was thrilled to be able to photograph this wonderful family at Herb Parsons Lake, right here in Fayette County, and just 10 minutes ride from the studio. I suspect that I’ll be using this location again in future sessions, as there was a wide variety of settings with diverse backgrounds in the park.

A collage of family portraits taken at Herb Parsons Lake - the Fall colors are one of my favorite backgrounds
Despite less than perfect weather (it was very windy, cloudy and threatening rain), I had a great time working with the Reifsteck family to create a beautiful series of portraits.
As you can see, the Fall colors still dominate the scenes and will continue to do so for a few more weeks, so NOW is the perfect time to schedule a portrait session for you and your family.
Visit our Family Portrait pages for more information, but remember that time is passing by… so don’t wait too long!
