A practice shoot

I have the honor and pleasure of photography the kids at Cate's daycare next week. Today was a practice run. She did a great job. I love this girl!

Sunny, fun days

Fall colors...love them.

Cate's day with her BFF. Cody's first horseback lesson.

Emilee showing off her skills, an ol' pro at horses.

Caitlyns Big Day

It was a big day for little Caitlyn. First official day of preschool, first day of Rainbows (church club) and first day of ballet. Well so we thought. Apparently ballet starts next week but we didn't figure that out until we showed up to a empty studio today. OOPS! We have a crazy, busy fall schedule for the kids, it's no wonder I messed up. Oh well, luckily Caitlyn is pretty forgiving. She went to Target with mommy, next best thing right?

Soccer Season Has Begun!

Cody kicked off the soccer season tonight with a great game. He has improved quite a bit since last season. I bit more aggressive, and not afraid of the ball anymore. He was pretty proud of himself but a bit disappointed he didn't score a goal.

Labor Day

I survived the DuCette family reunion! It was actually quite fun. I haven't seen some of these family members since I was a kid. Great people. I am so fortunate to have such a big, loving family. Awwww. Warm and fuzzies......

Garage Sale Find

I found a great little desk and chair at a garage sale yesterday. I painted it up. Then I sat and looked at it and thought.....photo opt!!! I had to bribe my little model with a candy bar for this shoot but I love how it turned out.

Toes......

Chillin toes....

Fun in the sun toes.....

Happy Labor day weekend everyone! My family is laying low this weekend. We do have company coming so that will be fun.

The Ugly Truth

Here it is, the brutal truth. The wonders of editing. Yikes, scary. I can't believe I posted that picture. Anyways, it's kinda fun to see the comparison.

Today was a pretty good day. The kids finished up day two of school. They all still had smiles on when they came home so I am guessing all went well. I had a nice relaxing day. A hair appointment followed by lunch with my mom and then a nice afternoon nap. Awww. I am loving the fall schedule so far. It's off to soccer practice tonight then a relaxing night at home, hopefully involving a glass of wine and a good movie.

Back to School

Play time is over...back to school.
Well....there maybe still be some time for fun in the sun. After all they are still kids.
Cody ready to go! He starts first grade this year. Biggest worry of the year- cold lunch vs hot lunch. He decided on cold lunch for day one. Whew. Glad that huge dilemma is out of the way.
My baby girl. Emilee started 3rd grade. She certainly has a mind of her own, she picked her clothes, her backpack and all her school supplies this year.
Little Cate is spending another year at her daycare/preschool. She loves it there and they take good care of her. She was having a difficult morning. I am not sure what the tears where all about.
