It’s officially October – woo hoo! Bring on the cooler weather, hot drinks all day, comfy sweaters and scarves (yessssss please!), and Homeland Season 5!!! I thought I could sneak that last one in since Homeland is ‘seasonal’! Most especially though, fall means family portrait time!!! 
 
Today, I wanted to share portraits from my session with the gorgeous Bylsma family with you! I loved this shoot for SO many reasons. Not only was this group a blast to work with, they totally rocked coordinating outfits doing so, which is no easy feat with a group of 22!!! Amen amen! And the LOCATION!!! Oh my goodness, love!!! I had never been or shot at Knights Ferry before and it was such a neat setting, full of history and nestled beautifully along the Stanislaus River. I already can’t wait to shoot here again!  
 
Mostly, I loved seeing this family together. Willie and Jolene celebrated 45 years of marriage this past year and this is their family. Their sons and daughters, son-in-laws and daughter-in-laws, grandkids and grandbabies. How amazing to think this group started forty-five years ago with their love story… 
 
Here are just a few of my favorites from my time with the beautiful Bylsma family at Knights Ferry…enjoy!
Don’t you just want to squeeze him?!?
One of my favorites!
Many congratulations to you two on 45 years of love!!! Thank you for the honor of capturing this milestone and your beautiful family together!
