Autumn family sessions

I appreciate a photo where everyone is looking and smiling, I do really, but there is just something "time stopping" and "true" about an image of a family enjoying each other and not focusing on the camera. When Dad's go all out and make their little boys giggle and mommas snuggle or tell a funny joke... When a little hand genuinely holds onto a shoulder or cheek of a parent and brothers smooch without even being told. These moments are the ones that make the investment into photography so worth it because they will forever be cherished for years to come as life zooms on by. Truth.
