It's September, school is back in session, and everyone is falling back into their schedules and routines.  Crisp blue sky days, and cool bonfire nights are here.  Soon the leaves will change color, and it will be time to head to the pumpkin patch.family 3

It also means it's time for family portraits.  Fall is for Families.family

Too often family portraits are put on the back burner, of which I am also guilty.  It had been 3 years since our last family portrait.  And never one with our furry family members.  Our oldest dog is 12+ years old, and well into his golden years.  So having the dogs in the picture was a no brainer.  That was the easy part.  When you are the subject, and the photographer things can and will get crazy.family 4

So after many bribes, dog treats, sweat, thankfully no tears, and several shots, we captured our family shot.  And I couldn't be more happy.  Years from now when we look back at this portrait we all be thankful we memorialized our furry family members, and that we didn't wait till it was too late.yonek family
