Autumn Glory...

How time flies! I have been photographing the "K" family since 2002...yep...6 years!!! And you can imagine how I've enjoyed seeing their beautiful children, Emma & Grant grow up. Little Emma and my daughter, Larissa, used to go to preschool in Bozeman together!... seems like only yesterday...

.

So here I offer you the last of this season's autumn color family photo sessions. I know Molly generally prefers sepia-toned images, but these Fall colors are just so spectacular and the family's clothing was so well coordinated, it just made these photos POP!

After all these years, serious Grant smiled...I mean, REALLY smiled!...only to reveal 2 missing front teeth!!

This one's for you, Molly!

After wearing her hair long for years, I complimented Emma on her fresh new short do only to learn that she recently donated over 10 inches of her hair to Locks of Love!

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the U.S. and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. How incredible that an 8 year old girl would spend years growing her hair long and luxurious only to cut if off and donate it in order to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to a child suffering from hairloss...

If you ask me, Emma has never looked more beautiful.

Thanks Molly & Jon, Emma and Grant for making the trek up to Sky Ranch and for baking and bringing the delicious Special "K" treats! Mmmmmmmm.

Here's the e-mail I just received from Molly:

"Susann...well you've outdone yourself once again. These photos are terrific! You have a way of capturing our essence - Thank you! Thank you!"
