These portraits were taken literally hours before the first winter storm came.  I like to think of it as a tribute to fall and all the warmth of the season that will rest for awhile.  This family made life look effortless. The whole thing; marriage, parenting and laughing.  I love the warmth that surrounds them and the gentle way they treat each other.  They will weather many storms together and be all the better for it. Happy winter, may your hearts be filled with light.
