Happy Halloween!

I have always enjoyed decorating for Halloween. My first year I created a graveyard by digging holes in my front yard, making crosses for grave markers and building an old rickety fence. My husband even enjoyed rigging up a spider that fell down whenever the door was opened and the kids loved it. Last year I created lots of spider webs, bats and witch themed stuff around the entryway (inside and out). This year I stuck to two scarecrows outside, a glowing casper and created a theme on my corner niche. I would have to say my decorating has been toned down since I had my two girls. I now really enjoy the fun of decorating Halloween cookies (wished I didn't have to clean up), carving the pumpkins and doing a ton of crafts with the girls.

The next huge excitement was taking them trick or treating tonight. The girls were both dressed in five minutes, bags in hand and ready to go. We went around the block once and enjoyed spending family time at home while handing out candy.

Here are just a few pictures of our Halloween.

Lady in Red

First of all, I want to thank Sarah for braving the cold this past weekend. We had booked the session before the snow fell but it was a wonderful surprise. Sarah showed up with her beautiful red sweater jacket, white mittens, hat, scarf and the most beautiful green electric violin. Sarah loves music and I hope her images of her violin become priceless to her. I personally love the vibrance of the colors against the white blanket of snow. Enjoy your sneak peek!!













Fall Leaves and Precious Girls

I decided to head out into the fall leaves and take some pictures of my family. My girls love to play in the leaves so I knew this would be a lot of fun. I was in love with the colors of the leaves that day and how the sun was shining down through the trees. It was a cold and windy day and the girls were getting grouchy but I captured some great memories.









The family picture was a struggle as I do not have a remote and Ava had to run with me for each and every photo. I am glad at the results of my family portrait. The expressions are priceless to me.
