Fall Family Session at Fuquay Mineral Spring Park | The Skinner Family

I absolutely love all of my clients, but there is a special place in my heart for the ones that return every year. I had the pleasure of meeting Jade and the Skinner family in Fall 2024 for their family session at Carrollock Farms. At the time they were a family of three; however, that was about to change and they would become a family of five in the beginning half of 2025.

I was so excited when Jade reached out for an updated family session to include her twin babies. We decided on the location and picked Fuquay Mineral Spring Park. I’m so glad we did. I have only been to the park twice so I was happy to explore and play with the lighting.

The day of the session, we lucked out with beautiful weather. We also had the prettiest fall foliage and gorgeous glowy light! Literally a photographer’s dream. When I arrived, I was so excited to see the Skinner family again and meet their twins. I mean, how adorable are their three little ones?! They are already tiny models in the making.

One thing that I really like to do in most of my sessions, especially sessions with children is to make posing fun. I use a lot of movement and prompts to get giggles, smiles, and keep the kids engaged. By making posing a game and dynamic, it also ensures that we get genuine moments. This is important because my goal is to always show your family’s love and connection through the photos. I will also do some traditional posing, but keeping things entertaining for the kids leads to fewer meltdowns (I have a toddler and I know first-hand that meltdowns during family photos are not fun for anyone) and a better experience.
