Backyard Sessions

My Backyard Sessions are filled with the everyday beauty of home.

I hope to document the areas inside and outside your home that your children will look back on with delight. The garden you tend to every spring to enjoy all summer as you sip on your coffee in the mornings. The living room where imagination runs wild as forts are built with pillows and blankets. Together, we will make artful memories of the very place your family dwells together.

ParkSessions

Park Sessions are at my favorite local spot in Cary, North Carolina with a variety of places to run, play, and explore together. I believe that photos don’t have to be in a jaw dropping location to make our hearts skip a beat. These images will make you feel the connection you have as a family in the right here and now.

  • "Autumn makes magic out of the mundane."

    “She has a very unique eye and perspective. One thing I love about her work is she is able to capture amazing wide perspectives, zoomed out to see the whole picture and freeze the whole scene, and also beautiful and creative cropped tight shots of the little details you don’t want to forget. She is incredibly patient, kind, and talented…. And if your kids are crazy (like mine were haha) she is still able to capture absolutely incredible photos.”"

    — Kailen E.

  • "My motherhood photo session with Autumn was an answer to prayer."

    “I’m 18 months postpartum from having twins, 6 months from post nursing them. My body has been through so much in the past 2 years and I had some hesitancy about being photographed in this new form.

    At the same time, I craved and desired so much that my relationship with my kids would be captured. I really wanted to celebrate this season in my life and I prayed for it. Then an opportunity arose to have pictures done with Autumn and I could not be more touched by the results. I was staring at them for days after!!! Haha

    I really am so thankful for your hard work Autumn. Your attention to details. Your attention to us! Beautiful work! What you do is a ministry. You served our family, the Lord, and I love everything I see in these pictures.”

    — Jessica B.

  • "Autumn was so easy to work with and was also great with the kids!"

    “We had our family photos taken outside at a park - she kept us updated and informed especially because the weather was being finicky, to the point of even considering rescheduling. Thankfully, the weather turned up for us but I appreciate her thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and flexibility. She was so easy to work with and was also great with the kids! The pictures speak for themselves how much at ease we all felt during the photo shoot.”

    — Sharon B.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Absolutely. What makes my art unique is that I tactfully and intentionally move your family through interactive moments that mold into the portraits that you will cherish. Before our session, your questionnaire will help guide me as I personalize our time together in my planning process. You will receive a session prep guide to help center you on what to expect. During your session, things will feel easy as we move through play and fold into more emotive portraits.  

  • Yes! I know this is a desire when investing in family photos. Throughout our session I will find natural moments to get everyone together for portrait moments. In the end, the result will feel natural and love-soaked.
