Cross Estate Gardens, Fall Family Photos- Bernardsville, NJ

When I was first contacted about this family session it was by dad. Admittedly, most of the time, it is mom who is the one pushing for the session, making the arrangements, planning the outfits, ect. What dad shared with me is that his wife’s birthday was about a month out and he knew she really wanted updated family photos. He wanted to make the session her birthday gift. Wow! Good luck topping all future birthday gifts, I knew she would LOVE the opportunity to have all he favorite people together for the session.

The kids were at the perfect age for a session. Old enough to be able to engage them with talking about their favorite things to get a smile out of them. Young enough to still be their silly selves! At this fun age, it’s always my goal to capture their little (or big) personalities. It’s what I want the parents to be able to look back on in 5 or 10 years and say, “Yup, that’s Travis!” with a chuckle or maybe an eye-roll but definitely a laugh. Yes, I do want that photo of them all calm and smiling (see below) but I also really want the funny ones too (also, see below). This family did not disappoint and I’m so honored to be able to capture a time for this sweet family to remember. This is a birthday gift mom won’t soon forget.

Here are a few favorites from our session at Cross Estate Gardens.
