Fall in Fort Worth is one of our favorite times to capture family sessions — golden light, colorful leaves, and plenty of space for little ones to run wild! The Gongidi family brought all the joy and laughter to their fall mini at Boaz Park, and we couldn’t love these images more.
With three energetic kiddos and parents who were all in for the fun, this session was full of authentic moments — from spontaneous giggles to sweet snuggles between bursts of play. CJ guided the family through a mix of gentle prompts and relaxed play to create natural, joy-filled portraits that feel true to their personalities.
We always remind parents that family sessions don’t have to be perfectly posed — especially with little ones. Some of the best images come when kids are free to move, explore, and just be themselves. The Gongidi embraced that fully, and the result is a collection that beautifully captures their connection and energy.
If you’re planning your own fall mini session, remember: the key is to keep things light, fun, and flexible. Bring a few favorite toys, let your kids’ personalities shine, and trust us to handle the rest.
