The Lynch’s Fall Mini Session at McKay Lake

Sibling love during a mini family session at McKay Lake with Theresa Pelser Photography, your Erie family photographer

Molly, I had a feeling that your mini family session at McKay Lake would knock it out of the park again, and I was right! The moments we captured are going to remind you of this magical season with young children forever and ever.

Luke is an active little guy who loves animals and wants to be a vet when he grows up.

Olivia is creative. She loves to sing, dance, and draw—both on paper and on herself. I had one of those… no Sharpie was safe, no matter how well I thought it was hidden.

You and Grant are raising two kind, curious, and intelligent little humans.

One of my favorite photos from your session was taken while Olivia leaned in to give Luke a kiss on his cheek. Repeatedly. With a little prodding, of course. I snapped away to make sure I captured the perfect moment and then, bam, Luke threw his head back in unbridled laughter. Snap! The sweetest sibling moment, captured on camera.

Time flies, but these photos of your family are going to spark joy for an eternity! Giving the kids time to warm up and distracting them from the camera was definitely the way to go.

Until we meet again, I hope you continue to make many more memories together, enjoying the water and mountains at Grand Lake.

Here are just a handful of my favorite photos from your family’s mini session at McKay Lake. Enjoy!

Best, Theresa
