Lisa Mallette Photography: At home with the "M" family

At home with the "M" family. What do I mean by at home? Well, a couple of reasons.

First, "at home" because I feel pretty comfortable around them. Why? Well, you see we have known each other for a number of years, attended each others' weddings, have spent some family holidays together, have children very close in age etc. etc. Other people who have met us for the first time quite often say that her husband has an uncanny resemblance to my own husband. LOL. Yup, you guessed it, they are.....we are related. :0)

Second, "at home" because quite literally these photos were taken in their own back yard. They have an awesome back yard that provides for a number of different backdrops. At first I wondered if we would have enough fall color or a sense of that "Fall" feeling in the photos. We had an early and quick transition with the fall leaves this year. However, it turned out that with the remaining leaves on the trees, the color of fallen leaves on the ground (thank goodness he had not raked up the yard...) and the occasional golden evening sun in the background provided for plenty of color. I think the sense of "Fall" came through.
