Absher Family’s Fall Outdoor Portraits
Three generations of Abshers gathered to have family portraits taken and this was another of those outdoor shoots planned that could have gone sideways if not for location and will. But we did it and the results are just what matriarch Mrs. Absher wanted.
October 10th was a day when Pixels scheduled multiple fall family portrait sessions, but massive rain and wind storms meant we had to postpone and reschedule several. A little rain between friends is one thing, but we were in a deluge. Like so many multigenerational families, the Abshers are spread out all over the state of NC and we knew it would be next to impossible to reconvene, so after chatting with the Mom-in-charge, we went for it.
And we pulled it off! There were several key factors, beyond willpower. One was location, but this was easily solved. Instead of meeting off-site somewhere, we took all of the photos in the matriarch and patriarch’s yard. They live near us, and after a drive by, we knew it was going to work. She bought mums and straw bells and we made it work.
Grandparents, parents and kids on hay bales in front of their home place: what could be sweeter?
I love the colors chosen for the youngest members of the clan. They loved being around their grandparents and the images will be heirlooms for generations to come.

family outdoor portraits – at play & rest
The Minicks are family. Literally. We’ve been shooting photos of them since before Pixels was Pixels. This latest shoot was extremely fun, because the family grew by one when Matthew – Matt Matt – arrived and we all met up at a park to celebrate older sister Amelia’s first day of school. She has been the cutest little bug since birth and is now getting some competition from her little brother.

Even though we shot after a first day of school – and sweet Matt Matt is trying to overcome his desire to ride on the school bus with his big sissy, he was not forgotten. The Minicks brought along a quilt featuring characters from children’s author Eric Carle and Matthew’s current favorite book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? The family took a break to rest in the shade and read it together.
I love seeing the long legs on these kids, the complete passion for playtime and a family that hangs together. We adore this family.
