here are some family photo sessions that stay with you long after you pack up your camera, and this Retzer Nature Center family session was one of them.

If you’ve ever booked Fall Family Photos and immediately thought, “Wait… what are we all going to wear?!” — you are not alone. Outfit planning is, without a doubt, the most stressful part of preparing for family photos. Coordinating mom, dad, and the kids without looking too matchy-matchy can feel overwhelming.
