As the leaves turned to warm shades of autumn, this beautiful family of three —mom, dad, and their young daughter—enjoyed a day of connection and laughter in the glow of the season’s golden light. We wandered the historic grounds, checking out the Little Free Library and taking in the peaceful scenery. The timeless charm of Ayr Mount brought out a sense of warmth and nostalgia, making this session one to remember.
