Gorgeous Fall Family Photos

Last year, my cousins and I took our kids up to Silver Lake in September to see the fall leaves.

It was so gorgeous that my cousin decided she wanted her family photos taken there.

So we have been plotting this out since then and even though the leaves were just barely starting to turn, we finally made it happen last weekend!

Everything was gorgeous!

Beautiful evening light, stunning family, adoreable kids, and the tall grasses and purple flowers - breathtaking!

We looked at ducks and tried to see fish...


We giggled (and I am totally in love with the matching red fingernails happening here)...

And shared the joy of purple flowers...

she was totally obsessed with them!

I got a lot of these adoreably silly faces


Just to get a few of these just plain adoreable faces


And I am pretty sure it is safe to assume that these two like each other....


Plus, we saw a momma moose and her baby about 10 feet away from us.
Way cool...and a little scary!


And I totally love this last picture!


Rock on Despain family!
(pun intended - 'cause I am a major nerd -
and because we are family so they have to love me anyway!)
