The holiday season is a classic time of year for a Family Session. I had a lot of fun doing Holiday Minis at Amherst State Park in Buffalo, New York this past 2023 holiday season. The Bernacki Family showed up in neutral tones with an adorable outfit for their little girl. She was not so into having solo portraits taken after we got some family portrait. But we took a few minutes to play and explore the nearby trails of the park and she warmed up enough to have a few portraits taken.
