Family ​PHotographers

Fall is a great time to schedule some family photographs on PEI. ​It is not the time of the beach photographs, where everyone is in ​soft blues, whites and other summer colours (I just did this during ​this past August so no shame from me), but it is a time to let the ​colours on the leaves make a statement and give an amazing ​back drop.
