It was not the first, second, or even third time that we had photographed Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie, but the fourth time! Our first time meeting Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie's parents was when his dad needed a series of business headshots back in 2015. Fifteen months later, Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie was born, and I got to meet him for his newborn photography session when he was just 8 days new. 

Because his mom & dad had the foresight to sign him for a baby photography plan with us before he was even born, we met him two more times for family photography sessions in 2017.  (Check out his cherry blossom photography session and indoor halloween & fall family photos with a Little Artist paint smash here.) 

When their baby photography plan came to an end last year, they signed up for our annual Watch Me Blossom family photography plan, and when fall of 2018 rolled around, it was time to photograph Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie and his parents for a fourth time!

This time, we chose beautiful Sugarloaf Mountain in Dickerson, Maryland as the setting for their fall family photos.  Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie's mom and dad brought pumpkins, whereas we supplied a crate and a large bag of 20 or so red apples as props for their fall family photos.  His mom and dad are sure to look back on these photographs as the years go by and Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie grows older, and as they see the apple bites missing from so many of the apples, they will forever remember this family photography session as the day that Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie discovered his love for apples. 

{And isn't it the joyful and cherished memories it evokes that makes family photography ever more priceless as each day passes?}

Then, we were graced with an absolutely amazing sunset... the best I've ever gotten in all my years as a family photographer photographing at Sugarloaf Mountain!  Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie also got into his doctor Halloween costume and won me over with his Halloween cuteness.  His mom and dad raved later about how much fun Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie had being photographed.  They already renewed their Watch Me Blossom family photography plan for next year, so I can't wait to see what changes another year brings!  In the meantime, check back later for a glimpse of the finished canvas wall portraits that Mr. Silver-Haired Cutie's mom and dad ordered from this collection of fall family photos!

Get priceless memories of your own that'll make your heart pitter patter with joy.
