I basically adore these three.
They’re great kids with great parents…
easygoing, energetic, and just plain fun!

Hi! Happy fall!!! Things have been BUSY around here, which is actually a severe understatement. : ) The leaves are reaching their peak and we’ve been taking advantage of it like crazy. The poor studio… it’s barely seen a soul these past few weeks! Here are a few from a little shoot a few weeks ago, before everything started to go “autumn”… what a love this little guy was!!!
How I wish I could write more in the fall… I feel like it’s the time that I’m the most inspired, but it’s also a season that I have very little time to write down my thoughts. So… they’ll be swirling around in my head for a few more weeks. Enjoy this beautiful day!!!
PS… Keep an eye out here for deals on holiday cards! We’re not doing them this year, but I’m a pretty good scout of where the deals and steals are. And since you’ve got your digital files, you really must put them to good use. ; ) Here’s a spot I found this morning: Pear Tree Greetings is selling a $40 voucher for $20 on Zulily. And that includes shipping, which kind of rocks. : ) They’ve got some REALLY cute cards there! Click the picture below to check it out:
Do you know how good you would feel to have your holiday cards DONE by November 1st? Just sayin’. : )     no comments Last night I had the honor of capturing my sweet cousin and her fiancé’s engagement pictures. We had an amazing time. The sun was low in the sky, the location was truly stunning, and this young couple shone as brightly as the fiery yellow on the trees that surrounded us. It was one of those “magic” sessions… They’re both big-time readers, so they had pulled out some old books to bring along to the session. My favorite of the books they brought was one called “The Simple Life”. It reminded me of that old Shaker hymn, “Simple Gifts”. Do you know that one? It’s about being simple, being humble, and finding happiness in the small, sweet things of life.
Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free,
’tis a gift to come down where we ought to be. And when we find ourselves in the place just right, twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained, To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning, we come ’round right. Congrats to a couple who is well on their way to a very beautiful life… : ) show 1 comment [...] are a few of the images from Brad and Melissa’s wedding in December. This pair was, in a word, stunning. I think you’ll agree! : [...] This family makes me smile. Every. single. year. So you can imagine my sadness when I heard from their sweet mama that they were moving out east. AND… you can imagine my excitement when I got an e-mail from her that they’d be in town last weekend!!! Ooooh, lucky, lucky me! : ) The kids were wonderful, as always. They are getting SO big!!!
Another little tidbit to cover… audiobooks!!! My latest discovery! : ) I’d LOVE to classify myself as an avid reader. You know… the kind that carves out time to sit in a peaceful little corner, sipping on tea and turning pages as my mind absorbs all the goodness of literature. I am, sadly, not an avid reader in that way, because my life does not have a quiet, peaceful little corner with hot tea in it. Not right now, anyway. : ) I discovered the magic of audiobooks earlier this summer, though, and thought I’d pass the little secret along. I’ve listened to some really great reads: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman, and Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath. I’ve enjoyed listening to books so, SO much these past few months, and am realizing just how many years I’ve wasted in assuming that I have no time for good literature! I now listen to books as I’m driving around from session to session, when I’m going to sleep at night, when I’m doing dishes at home and my kids are playing outside… it’s the perfect way to soak in a little inspiration without needing total uninterrupted peace and quiet. The book I just finished was Donald Miller’s A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. I loved it so much that I was actually sad when it was over. It’s read by the author, which (in my opinion) always makes an audiobook so much better. I was reminded through this book that the best parts of life happen through doing, not just wishing and planning. It made me want to jump into my life with a little more zest. I love books that inspire me like that! : ) The picture below links you to the book… head on over to FB for a fun giveaway related to today’s post!
Yay! : ) no comments The past four days have been a whirlwind… school picture day at my kiddos’ school, thirteen sessions, and a seriously nasty head cold. You know… the kind where you feel like your eyeballs are about to pop out of your head and there’s not enough makeup in all the world to cover up the bags under your eyes. The weather was TOTALLY on our side, though, and all of the sweethearts I photographed were absolute angels. How I love the kids I photograph. : )
I’ve never been a big “count my fans” girl, but I did want to take a second to share that if you’re not a fan, or you are a fan but you’re not seeing posts, you may want to check in every now and then. When I have the opportunity to photograph commercial projects, Facebook is almost always the place I go to announce “model calls”. If you like the idea of your little one(s) being part of ads, books, etc… keep an eye on the FB page… I’ve probably popped at least 10-15 model calls on my page in the past few months, and there are many more to come! : )
