Someone that makes you laugh

I've been working late into the evening trying to keep up with all the lovely Fall Family Sessions I've photographed.  This family session I've been working on these past few hours and came to an image that was particularly familiar to me ♥.   Circumstances were such that my son had to be with me during the first half hour of this "multi- family" session.  No biggy, as this particular family group know us well -  we are related -  and Sam is pretty good and, actually, can be very entertaining....

.... my entertaining Son.

To my Family in which I've been working hard getting your images ready for viewing,   hang in there as they will be ready soon.   As I head off to dream land I wanted to leave this with you... 

tough crowd....

in steps my boy, not sure what he is doing...

... ok whatever your doing keep it up!

awwww  ♥

More lovely pictures from this group coming soon!

Thanks Sam, you always make me smile too ♥

a new look for George Lucas?

I am constantly amused by what my kids play at.   This is what they brought to our front room the other day.  What do you think.... could this be a new look for George Lucas?

Aw Chewy, you big teddy bear!

Sophia in the Gardens

Sophia is my niece's daughter and she is two. She talks... a lot.
She is VERY social, assertive, articulate, smart, happy, funny... she says things like "oh man" and sings the Cinderella song, ♪♫ "A dream is a wish your heart makes" ♫♪
Whilst wagging her finger at you she'll say "Don't Even!"   
She told her Grandpa the other day, "Move your truck Grandpa, we're going home, you're in our way"
She's 2.
This little flower has BIG personality! We took her to the biggest garden we knew...
The Devonian Gardens      I think I'm going to get season passes  ♥

English Family Love

 
Bless 'em!  Meeting new families is one of parts I enjoy very much about my job!  This family traveled all the way from England to have their pictures taken with me!  Ok fine, they actually didn't come here to see ME in particular rather they came to visit family, and as I know the family they were visiting very well... ok so they were persuaded by a good friend of mine that they should do this family picture thing.  We picked a morning time (not my usual preferred evening time)  as their kids are awake at 6:00am!!!  - quite unheard of in my house -  but the LIGHT was gorgeous and we all enjoyed the summer morning along the creek.  I also learned that when speaking in love about your children,  you always end the sentence with "Bless'em", must be an English thing  :D
Here are a few images, ok a lot of images,  too many sweet ones, Bless'em  ♥

One of my absolute favorites from this session

Delicious Autumn!

AUTUMN!!!   I LOVE this season..... love, love, love,  from the bottom of my berry-stained shoes to the top of my north-wind blown hair!  Everything about this season is the best,  the colors, the smells, the shorter cozier days, the wind that blows the beautiful colored leaves to the sky, the fall light.  I want to start decorating with pumpkins and orange colored candles that smell of spice, I even find myself enjoying the spooky fun of Halloween... but secretly of course!  I am the Mom taking all the Thanksgiving and Halloween books out of the library, and the kids and I snuggle into our big bed and start reading until bedtime, Our favorite right now is "The Pumpkin Blanket" by Deborah Turney Zagwyn, we usually read it a few times.   I baked a berry pie yesterday ,which I don't usually do, it looked so pretty and smelled divine, I didn't want to slice into it -  Brad eventually persuaded me.   It is so beautiful outside and the family sessions I've been photographing have all been stunning....  I only wish I could get my family out there,  for now I have to make due with more photographs of my children....  well there is always next year ♥

Samuel had a great time scouting the location with me.  He "collected" thing, something he is learning in Kindergarten, and he is learning to take pictures ♥

Anna is a fabulous Location Scouting assistant, all too eager to pose and smile ♥

Have a great autumn everyone!!!
