It seems as though throughout the States, we have had an unusually warm Autumn this year. In a perfect twist of events however, the day before I was scheduled to hop on a plane to head to St.Louis for this Fall Family session, that brisk air blew in from the North. We couldn’t have timed it more perfectly if we tried!
I was thrilled to head back to Missouri this year to spend time celebrating the Miller Family on the heels of their recent home remodel. It was so wonderful to see them again and hear all that has transpired the past year as they settle into their lives in St.Louis. I loved hearing from the kiddos about life at school, friends (and maybe a crush a two) … and from Mom and Dad about what they appreciate about the Midwest and all the kind people that have come into their lives over the past couple years.
I was also eager to explore the new spaces that they have worked so hard to design for their new home. Melissa graciously led me throughout, as I took in all the thoughtful and beautiful touches to each reconfigured, light-filled room. She really has such a gift. It was clear that the beautiful walls are meant to both hold their family close … and to share meaningful experiences with all their visiting friends and family!
As those final interior spaces were coming together, we decided to step outside for our pictures that day, enjoying the brisk Fall chill and the changing foliage in the neighboring meadow. It was like a little wonderland back there! I could just imagine the children slipping through the low-lying trees (with their curled, gnarled branches) and berry-dotted bushes that framed the property, and popping up on the other side to play and explore this magical, Narnia-like hidden space together. Rather than perform some sort of army crawl as the little ones most likely do … we drove around to the back entrance that day and used the handsome wooden gate. Both entrances were equally awe-inspiring. It was peaceful and quiet … and that colorful blanket of falling leaves was just so beautiful. And so was their family ~ on so many levels. Thank you Millers for such a meaningful afternoon together. I am so happy for your family and all that you have created together in St.Louis. ~ Kent Avenue Photography
