Family Portraits: Fun with leaves & cake

It was the ideal Colorado fall day. Blue skies, crisp morning air and a predicted high of seventy-something degrees. Perfect weather for a family portrait session and perfect weather for a fall leave pile. Do you remember the fun of playing with leaves?

Two and half year old boy sitting in a leaf pile with a smile — "I like these leaves, I wonder what else I can do with them?"

We finished off the session with a little homemade cake.
