This session was so much fun – capturing some of his favorites at two – his car and the lake nearby. We also took some pictures with the beautiful tree in his yard and a few on the front steps. I love taking pictures on location at your home – the pictures are just so special to you and the little ones have so much fun!

This little one was just so happy for her six month portraits. She just smiled and laughed at her mommy – she is just too cute! Her brother and sister were also dressed in some super cute fall outfits that went perfectly with this new location! Looking forward to documenting the rest of her first year!

So excited about fall! We’ve been talking about pumpkins, reading pumpkin books, and today we made caramel apples. (totally inspired by How Sweet It Is)

Goals for October:

* visit Hill Ridge Farms for a hayride, train ride, and to pick a pumpkin

* drink some apple cider

* roast some pumpkin seeds

and of course, take pictures in the leaves!

Remember this sweet family?  Tyler’s little brother has arrived! He is just precious and I LOVE the pictures of the two boys together. They are going to be best friends for sure and go on so many fun adventures!

I usually bring some blankets to the session for backgrounds but I also love using your blankets because they are the ones you will remember using everyday when you look back at the pictures. This quilt was made for this little one, and I love that we were able to take some picture of him with this sweet gift.
