There’s something so timeless about fall family sessions, especially when they’re set against the backdrop of Hiawassee Park in Mission Hills. The Killian family brought such charm and joy to their session on a lovely fall day, and their two darling daughters stole the show in their sweet little cotton printed dresses and cozy sweaters.

The park gave us the perfect mix of soft light, winding pathways, and those classic Mission Hills trees that seem to frame every photograph like a work of art. Between giggles, twirls, and the occasional pause to pick up leaves, these girls reminded us all of how fleeting and beautiful childhood really is.

What stood out most, though, was how connected the family was. The way mom and dad leaned into each other, laughing at the girls’ antics, or the quiet moment when each daughter snuggled into their parents’ arms—it was pure love, frozen in time.

Sessions like this one are exactly why I adore family photography. It’s not about being perfectly posed or polished—it’s about the little in-between moments, the handholds, the whispers, and the laughter. The Killian family brought all of that and more, making this lovely session a perfect example of what a session with MRP looks like.

ENJOY.
