Des Moines Family Photographer: Tom and Paula, Autumn 2014

I met Tom and Paula on their property for a family session with their children and grandchildren in early November. It was a sign that the last warm days of autumn had passed. The sun was warm but the eastern wind made it challenging and a little cool, so we kept those inside who weren't having their photos taken. In between Tom and Paula's turn and the big family photo, Tom took me out to a cabin on his four wheeler to see where he hunts on their land, while his family gathered outside for one last photo. Poor little miss Sadie just couldn't make it to the end and fell asleep on grandma's arm.
