I’ve been *not-so* patiently waiting for this fun family session since the first of July. The Erter family’s July session was sadly rained out, and we had to wait nearly an entire month to reschedule. While it wasn’t ideal, I am SOO glad we didn’t shoot through the rainstorm, and we waited for this gorgeous August evening!…
