For the Love of Fall

Every year I take these photos. No matter how crazy or busy it is I take the kids photos in the leaves. This year I decided 4 days before I was going to do them, that I was joining in the photos and sewing all of them shirts and myself a cardigan. I had buffalo plaid for all of us.

The leaves were not as grand as they usually are. They began changing and then it got really hot and it messed with the process. Regardless it was still beautiful fall. The leaves all finally blew off last week or maybe the week before. I can't remember. I miss the color already.

I saved the best for last. This little girl kind of came out of her shell the week I took these. Instead of chasing down my camera like she and Daphne usually do or purposely ignoring me she decided to be the spot light. She also LOVES the leaves.

Another Fall is in the books for us. I will share more of our orchard photos soon! 

A Glimpse Into the Future

The one thing I love about photographing my kids is catching tiny glimpses into the future. When we visited my family, my sister gave Lilliana a bunch of hand me down clothes from my niece. In there was this dress that she bought thinking it was something different. My niece grew out of it and consequently Lilliana inherited. It is the most outlandish dress, but of course she LOVED it. So I knew we had to do something fun with it. My grandparent's yard of course is beautiful so I took her out and took some very quick photos of her. At this point I glimpsed her future of getting married and it was bittersweet.

When she tries on wedding dresses one day I will remind her of these and pull them out to reminisce of my sweet little girl.
