Cheekwood Estate Family Portraits In The Fall

Photographing Diana’s beautiful family at Cheekwood Estate was a DREAM come true for me! A Cheekwood Estate family portrait session has been on my bucket list for a while, so when Diana messaged me about a session here, I couldn’t say “yes” fast enough. And seriously, the whole thing was a dream. Cheekwood Estate is stunning, and this sweet family was adorable. It was just a wonderful experience. We even lucked out with beautiful fall colors and foliage the day we shot there. We had such vibrant colors all around us. I’m not joking when I say I’m obsessed with these images!

Diana’s family was a joy to work with. They traveled across the country from California to celebrate all the life events around them. What a fun idea!! The Mosson family decided that in every major city, they stopped in, they’d have family portraits done. They’d stopped in Chicago, a few other cities, and Nashville. What a fun memory for their trip! I’m so honored I was included on their list and to help document these milestones for their sweet family!
