The first time I had a session with Lidia was about six months ago. She was cute as a button then, and still is now! She warmed up much faster this time – by the end of the session I was reading Eric Carle books with her! 6 months makes such a big difference at this age. They are constantly changing and developing their own personalities. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to capture her again!
Meet Brody. He’s your typical fun-lovin 2 1/2 year old. He showed me his trucks, his bear and his blanket. He also showed me his favorite dinosaur book – complete with a big “ROAR” and all. We played and watched Dora. And in between all this, we had a photo session. I’m not sure Brody even noticed 
One gorgeous family – one beautiful day. We met at Harkness for some late November pics. I’m loving the weather lately…it’s decided to cooperate for just a little bit longer! We met here last year around the same time and decided to come back since the scenery is so wonderful. And Henry is some of the best scenery I’ve seen! 
He has the most adorable head of curly hair!
I always look forward to this time of year. Not only does it mean I get to put up my Christmas lights, but I also get to visit my favorite family! I have been photographing this family every year for their Christmas cards for the past four years. I have watched their children grow and mature into beautiful people! A little background info, Clay wasn’t into the whole picture thing last year. We were kind of dragging down his cool style by making him get dressed up and sit with his sister. Saige, on the other hand, has always been the perfect little model, and both her sides are her good side. But, low and be hold, this year was Clay’s year to shine!! He came out with his picture day smile on and he was ready to go! And, to top it off, they have the most photogenic dogs!
Note the smile & he’s sitting next to his sister!
I know I’ve been preaching on here how much I LOVE the fall leaves and weather – and that’s all true and good. And deep down when I arrived at this family’s house in Bethel, I was dissapointed that it was pouring out. I envisioned this family playing and jumping in the leaves under the big tree in the backyard. I wanted to see all the orange and red trees lining the background of the pics. But I lost sight of what I REALLY came to photograph. It wasn’t the fall colors and scenery. It was the little snuggles and loud giggles of this little girl – trees or no trees – it didn’t make a difference the season. Yup, this worked out just fine. Thank you rain for coming today.
