Josh, Susie, and their two boys kicked off this Hopedale Pond session with a rock-skipping competition (spoiler: everyone won) before we hit the trails for what can only be described as “woodland sibling parkour.” With the sun low and golden behind us, we wrapped the day with a bit of fishing — though the real catch was all the personality packed into these fast-paced, joy-filled moments.
These brothers brought so much energy that the session practically directed itself — I just kept up and hit the shutter. We let the day unfold naturally, letting tree stumps become stages, sticks become swords, and quiet water views become family portraits soaked in light and love. Sometimes the best plan is no plan — just two kids being wildly themselves while their parents laugh nearby. A perfect fall afternoon, captured one skip and leap at a time.
