The "M" Family

I know that my nieces are anxiously waiting for me to post these pictures....so here they are! I had my annual photo session with my sister-in-law's family yesterday afternoon. They kept me busy with family photos, individual photos, action shots, photos of the family pets and even some of a favorite belt! Sorry, J, I didn't post the belt ones. Thanks for a great afternoon. I really appreciate your willingness to try anything...even if it means climbing a hill with knee deep thistles!

Watermelon Baby

Just a few weeks ago I photographed this little peanuts' Mom & Dad with a watermelon belly. It was so great to meet this little watermelon baby! She really was the sweetest, most content baby I've met. Mom also was so relaxed and easy-going! In her words..."3 kids is a walk in the park"! This little one definitely made me believe that!

The "B" Family

I've known the "B" family for a long time. In fact, I first met the Mom on my first day of grade three and we have been friends ever since! It was such a treat to spend an afternoon exploring at the park. We felt a few raindrops, but thankfully we managed to stay dry. Thanks for a fun afternoon!

Peek-a-boo! I see you!

The "K" Family

After taking a little break to get back into the school routine, it was great to pick up the camera again! I spent the morning with the "K" family. It definitely felt like a fall morning with cool temperatures and cool wet grass, but we all warmed up quickly. It was great to spent time with this family again! These are just a few of my favorites!

This Mom picked some great spots for the photos. I particularly loved this one. It has everything...water, a great skyline, trees and great light too!

I've been wanting to take pictures on a train track for quite some time now. I think we broke pretty much every train safety rule in the book but it was worth it! Thanks for being such a great sport!

Sometimes it isn't always all about a smile...

...a smile is always great too!

Doesn't she have the most beautiful green eyes!

Doesn't this picture just make you want to go out and buy a lollipop for yourself right now!

First Day of School

Well, I guess I am officially a school Mom now! My oldest little monkey started Kindergarten. I have to admit that I had mixed feelings about his new adventure. While I was excited for him because I knew he was going to love Kindergarten and was totally ready for the new challenge, I was also sad. I vowed I would not be the Mom outside the Kindergarten door in tears on the first day of school. I didn't shed a tear in the school but found my eyes filling with tears as I walked him across the crosswalk to school. It just means a chapter of life is finished....a really good chapter that I wasn't quite ready to close!
