Santa's Arrival!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas! Such was the case at the home of the D. family, who host their annual Snacks with Santa. I am always honoroed to be the evenings photographer...

The Heacock's

Another fall portrait session. There was alot of laughter throughout this session. Between takes the boys enjoyed rolling down hills and races....that always keeps the mood light. Which results in some very natural and fun photos....

Little E

I was so pleased to get a call from  long time friends who I had not seen for far to long. In fact, the last time I ran into our friends, the Mrs was pregnant with her daughter. It's just a matter of life taking us different places. Today I was photographing her daughter who was about to celebrate her 4th birthday. Life goes by so quickly, if we blink we miss it. The occasion for the session was not as much about the birthday, it was for the curls. Her mother was ready to give her daughter her first haircut, potentially losing those curls. She wanted to preserve them through photographs. I can't think of a more perfect way to do so!

BEAUTIFUL!

I cannot express my joy at the outcome of our session, but her mother's reaction said it best, "I cried tears of joy....just perfect!"

Perfect indeed.

Though it had nothing to do with the photographer.

The Vowels Family

This was a day where I had 2 sessions to maximize the gorgeous fall foliage. This photo shoot was with the Vowels Family.
Such a precious family, with such truly thoughtful, kind considerate children!

I always seem to have a favotire shot from each particular session, this one was it for me.
I love the couple, with their children running in the background.
Of course, not even posed, the children just took off running and landed into the background.
LOVE IT!

The Mr. and Mrs....

And another, non posed, just a capture of the children hugging one another.
Can't recall this shot ever just "happening" among my children. LOL
