Big Peek for a Big Group!

And I have to say that this group was the easiest and shortest session I've ever done! Thanks guys... You made my job really easy. I enjoyed every minute of it!

Here you go... (Trust me, there's lots more--these are just the ones that popped out to me at first glance)!


Just a fun one! I'm sure they don't realize I caught this... Such a fun family!


Grandma with her grandbabies and great-grandbabies!


Thanks again for making this such a fun session! I'll let you know when the proofs are online.

Pumpkin Playdate

So the kiddos and I went to town today to meet some friends for a Pumpkin Playdate. I hate to admit in all my years of being a parent, I've taken my kids to the Pumpkin Patch once and that was when Maddie was 2.5 and I was pregnant with Haidyn. So, not much of a tradition around here... I guess it's kind of hard when it's supposed to be fall with 85+ degree temperatures outside. BUT... Today we did it... Went to the patch and we had fun! Granted it was warmer than it should be for fall clothes, but we made the best of it.

Here is a little bit of our hour of Pumpkin Playdating...

Playing in The Maze.


My bunch... Obviously, 2/3 of my group still have PKS--Photographer's Kid Syndrome!


The Entire Bunch--a difficult task to accomplish while subjects are wearing fall clothes in summer heat. Oh and sun is still severely bright. But still fun!


Little Man was digging all the pumpkins... The poor workers probably had to spend a while just putting them back where they belong after he kept dragging them off.


My beautiful girl!


Two of this dude... He was liking my camera (for once)! He's a busy bee, so I know mom has a hard time getting shots of him.



My little princess! Notice anything new? Yep, she got her ears pierced! She wanted them like big sissy's so we went this past weekend.


This is little dude's big sister. Doesn't she have the cutest little puppy dog eyes?


And her other younger brother (the middle child). So similar to my middle child (in so many ways)!


Just a snap--middle child was bringing Caleb all these pumpkins. It was cute because he kept motioning for him to bring more to him.


Our outing almost went off without any mishaps until Little Man decided to walk and trip on the skids. So he's got a nice gash in his forehead along his hairline. We pretty much ended our time there after that and came to the house for more playdate fun and dinner. One more mishap of Haidyn falling and skinning her chin... Nothing like facial boo-boos the day before a family photoshoot! We might have to post-pone that... Oh and yes, I'm playing with my display borders... Trying to figure out what I like best!

Meet the "L" Family!

The "L" Family was quite lovely actually! I 'knew' Miss "L" through a friend, but had never met the misters of the family. I had a lot of fun and they were great with the several scenery changes we did. They even let me practice a little 'Urban' shooting with them.

I won't keep you waiting any longer now... Here are some of my favorites from our session. There are so many to choose from, I had a hard time narrowing them down!

An urban shot!

One of the many family shots! Love the textures in the barn in this one. How cool would this one look in a canvas? Hmm... I might just have to test it out and show a sample later!


The misters!

Mrs. "L" and her not so little mister. I love the interaction in this shot. I processed this one with my vintage wash. I think it added to the mood of the moment.


Mister "L"... He (forgive me if I get this wrong) just turned 10 or is about to turn 10!


One more of the family!


Thank you again "L" family! You all were such great models. Oh and we can't forget Sweet Little Miss "L". She was so sweet and just went with the flow. I know she's looking off in this last image, but it's still one of my favorites.

I'll be in touch when your proofs are ready!
