Over the river and through the woods

We spent part of our family Christmas day tromping through my grandparents' woods.  It was so peaceful and beautiful.  Well, I'll let the photos do the talking...

The Estle Family

I knew what was meant by the "golden hour", but had never seen it quite as golden as the evening of this photo shoot with the Estles.  The light was so warm and glowy.  I wanted to freeze that moment in time.  Of course I couldn't do that but we were in the right place to take advantage of it.  This session was even more enjoyable because it's my niece and her beautiful family.  We're comfortable with each other and they're all very photogenic. You've seen them on my blog before but isn't it fun to see how they're changing.  Mason and Elise are growing up fast! 
I can't freeze the sun as it's setting and I can't freeze the kids as they're growing, but at least I can freeze these moments in photos.  Love that!
Justin, Erin, Mason and Elise...I love you guys!
