The Gamet’s Family Session at the Wise Homestead

The Gamet Family

Fall family session

Catch me if you can!

Three lively and boisterous little boys. Each one as cute as the next yet with personalities all of their own. One willing to pose for a photo. One hamming it up every step of the way. And, one playing catch me if you can! Meeting this energetic family of five for their fall family session reminded me so my of my own children at this age. Young boys, in my experience, usually only had two speeds; fast and asleep.

The weather was cool and crisp without being cold. The setting sun shone through the trees, turning the fall leaves to a glorious gold. Just perfect for capturing great moments of a family outdoors!

Jacque and Justin, it was a treat to spend an hour with you and your boys! Capturing cuddles, kisses, and boys just being boys. I’m guessing every day in your home is an adventure with a surprise around (almost) every corner. I hope you enjoy every moment. Whether you’re cleaning up a skinned knee or curled up on the couch together to watch a movie. I’m so glad we were able to save this moment in time for you! Here’s a sneak peek of some of my favorite moments from your fall family session. Enjoy! xo, Theresa
