Sunset Family Session | Columbus Ohio Photographer - Erika Venci Photography

I have been SO blessed with adorable families and beautiful sunsets this fall! October really is a magical month for photographers.. especially when the sun is setting early enough that the little ones don't have to stay up too late for pictures!

This family is so special to me as I have known Stephanie since I was 12 and she is one of my best friends. She is the kind of friend who always calls to check in and is there when you need her. Although we are in a very hectic time of our lives raising toddlers, I am so happy she and I live in the same city once again and can get together for play dates and occasional dinner dates (aka mom's night out!) 

When I was editing these photos, I had the biggest smile on my face.. this family and their little girls are SO sweet and we created some really fun moments together! 

Enjoy the gallery! 

Love & Light,

Sunrise Maternity Session | Columbus Ohio Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting with this sweet family as they await their newest addition. We met at sunrise and had the most gorgeous, soft light!

I loved meeting their two year old son and capturing some fun toddler moments as well. We finished up the session with some holiday-esque family portraits which I like to get during my fall sessions--You have to have a couple for the holiday cards, right?! 

Enjoy these photos.

Love & Light,

Styling for Your Family Photos | Columbus Ohio Photographer

When my dear friend asked me about doing a family session this fall we both were so excited and started planning all the details right away. Planning your wardrobe for photos definitely takes some time and work but is so worth it in the end. 

To get started, we found her the most BEAUTIFUL royal blue dress from Altar'd State (my new favorite clothing store) and added a textured knit cardigan and one of my flower crowns for layering and detail. We then worked to put everyone's outfits together, sending pictures back and forth, and I am so happy with how it all turned out. 

What you wear to your session really makes a big difference for your photos! Family photos are an investment and will be treasured for generations.. you definitely want to flaunt your style and look your best! Colors, layers, accessories, textures, and fit all matter and are things that I LOVE to help my families coordinate for their pictures. 

Enjoy these adorable photos!

Love and Light, 

Erika
