When October Lingers

This year, October graciously lingered in Ohio, giving us one last chance to soak in everything this season does best. The leaves painted the landscape in a rich mosaic of fiery reds, soft oranges, and golden yellows. It felt like nature was holding the door open just a little longer.

In the middle of that autumn magic, I had the joy of photographing a longtime client and friend with her beautiful family. The evening unfolded in the most effortless way, as if everything aligned just for us. October can be unpredictable, but that day showed up with warmth, color, and a gentle breeze that sent leaves dancing through the air.

Every frame felt wrapped in something special. The way the light filtered through the trees. The crunch of leaves underfoot. The quiet in-between moments that happen when a family is simply together. It was one of those sessions where you can feel the season in every image.

Looking back through their gallery, I am reminded how fleeting this time truly is. The colors. The season. The way children grow. The way families shift and evolve. Autumn gave us a beautiful backdrop, but it was their connection that made it unforgettable.

It was the perfect way to say goodbye to October.
