No spring, nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face
As I have seen in one autumnal face
~John Donne
This past weekend we made our yearly trip up to Red Top Mountain for our special family portrait sessions against the beautiful backdrop of autumn leaves. It was chilly in the morning so we loaded up our big, fluffy blankets and some pumpkin-chocolate chip cookies (to fight off the cold one should always have pumpkin-chocolate chip cookies on hand) and set out to find the best spot on the mountain. Our first family, The Penters arrived at 9:30 in the morning. What troopers! The lighting was beautiful and we even managed to squeeze in a few portraits of the oldest son in his high school letter jacket! A few families brought along their four legged family members. Annie and Barney were more interested in finding the squirrels but managed to sit still for a few family portraits. Good dogs! Best of all was the time we were able to spend with each family. The Meredith boys showed us how fast they can run (very, very fast!) and the McLerran girls showed off their dance moves (they can twirl on one foot!) We also had the privilege of taking the first family portrait for a family who had just completed their adoption process. Congratulations to The Paynes!
We had been a bit worried that the Georgia draught might mean there would be no spectacular changing of the leaves this year, as there are already a lot of leaves on the ground! But as you can see, these portraits turned out beautifully!
