Family portraits in late September

I had received and email from a mother looking to get pictures

 of her 17 month old daughter and some family pictures as well.  

She wanted them taken at the Skyland Manor, which is known

for it's castle and botanical garden. I had never been there, so 

like any good photographer I went there before the shoot to

get an idea of what it was like and to scope out some great spots

for the pictures.  

The day of the shoot was a perfect late September day.
