Here are a few more previews from this family session! It was so much fun to see a “new” little family interact and the way they looked at their daughter was priceless!
Lizzy and Miles are getting married in October and we took some time to do a “mini” engagement session! Her laugh is beautiful!! 
What a great (and big) family! I always thought it would be so much fun to have many siblings! Mom and dad had all of their children together and they were just all smiles! There was also the celebration of the new arrival that brought a smile to everyone’s face!
After a week of rain, it was refreshing to have a sunny morning! The lighting was perfect and the kiddos have grown sooo much from last year when I did their pictures! You can just tell these cousins are close. When I asked the little one who her best friends were, she said her cousin’s names. How sweet is that!
She was shy at first, but by the end of the session, she wanted to go off with me and just get her photos done by herself! Too cute!
What a great family session at Biltmore Lake. We walked around the path by the lake and found some beautiful backdrops! This little girl is full of energy and was so much fun to capture! I love her many faces! Enjoy!
Daddy’s girl? 
And of course we had to do a silly picture!
I love it when families get together for a weekend, and what better spot than Lake James! This was such a fun and laid back family…I hope you all got some of your landscaping done over the weekend while the weather was nice! Here are some of my favorites from the session….
The cousins!
Brothers!
Over 50 years of marriage!
Charles and Jessica came to Asheville for a little getaway this past weekend, and contacted me about getting their photos done while they were in the mountains! These two are a great couple and can you believe that they have 3 kiddos? Seriously….
Love the fall leaves….
Love these HOT Boots…seriously… however, I am sure I would break my neck in them!

I must apologize for the lack of “blog post” recently. Besides the everyday hustle and bustle of life, Chris’s grandmother passed and we had to fly him back from his hunting trip in Maine. 
Now on to more uplifting things…THE HESTERS!! OH MY GOSH! This family is soooo much fun. They all rented a cabin to celebrate one of their sister’s 60th Birthday!! There are 8 brothers and sisters…could you even imagine a family that big? Hope you all enjoy the preview…

I just had to share these two photographs with you. How did I ever not post these on the blog before? Usually right after each session or wedding, I come back to the office, choose my favorite images for the blog, and then post a few “previews” to share on the blog. The images below never stuck out in my mind until I saw them the other day. The mother of the twins ordered them and while I was working on the order, my heart just melted all over again! So, blog world, I am now sharing them for all to see (hope you don’t mind Amber, but your kiddos are just too adorable)!
I must apologize for the lack of blogging in the last week or so. We are getting ready for a great fall season of weddings and family sessions here at Autumn Olive Photography! There is nothing better than capturing happy people with the fall colors painting the mountains.
One of the most common questions asked by many of our clients is, “What should we wear?” So, here are the basics!
Wear what you feel comfortable in. That always makes the pictures more fun and natural. Keep kids happy. If they hate something, don’t make them wear it! Color adds an extra pop to your pictures! Families don’t have to match, just try to cordinate colors! Pick three colors next to each other to add an extra “pop” to the images! Also, solids shirts are better than prints. Solids are classic. But, it is your session and your personality. Do what you feel is you and you cannot go wrong!!! Happy Tuesday!
