I always have the best time with the Daniel-Way family.  I've been photographing this beautiful family from their beginning, Lisa and Melissa's wedding day many years ago.  I've had the honor of capturing their maternity portraits, newborn portraits of their little guy, and many family portraits since.  It is always a joy to work with them all!  waterworks-park-des-moines-family-portraits-fall-family-photos_0002 waterworks-park-des-moines-family-portraits-fall-family-photos_0003

The weather on the day of their session was not the most ideal.  In fact it was cold and drizzly, but they are rock stars and we were able to get an amazing variety of portraits quickly with big smiles and looking great.  I love this part of Waterworks Park in Des Moines.  Such a fun variety of locations all in one little spot.  waterworks-park-des-moines-family-portraits-fall-family-photos_0004 waterworks-park-des-moines-family-portraits-fall-family-photos_0005 waterworks-park-des-moines-family-portraits-fall-family-photos_0006 waterworks-park-des-moines-family-portraits-fall-family-photos_0007 waterworks-park-des-moines-family-portraits-fall-family-photos_0009

I'll be completely honest, I think the lamps were my favorite spot during our whole session.  What a fantastic background for this handsome guy!  waterworks-park-des-moines-family-portraits-fall-family-photos_0010 As always, it was a joy working with this lovely family!  I hope you enjoyed this little peek at their family portrait session!!
