Silberzahn Family...{Family Session}...

Jen has worked with Wes for years.  I was excited to meet her family one cold blustery afternoon for pictures.  When the kids first got out of the van they were shy and unsure.  As you can see in the pictures below it didn't last long.  I am so thankful I had my favorite assistant (Micaiah) to help.




















Song Family...{Family Session}

It is always a pleasure to spend time with the Song family.  This session began with all the girls laying the ground rules for what Steve could and could not do...the laughter continued throughout the session.  I left feeling uplifted from my time with them...here are a few minus some of our favorites that will be on their Christmas card:)

Early Morning Light...

I've been captivated by the fall color of the dogwood tree in our yard.  I've tried multiple times to capture it and haven't been happy with the result.  Here is an example of one of the pictures that I took while my brother was visiting.  It shows the color nicely but the shot is poorly composed.  I still looked at this and thought it didn't truly capture it's beauty.

This morning while I was walking Bella I noticed that overnight we had our first frost.  I went back out with my camera to attempt to capture the frost on the leaves and grass blades...unfortunately, the sun had peeked out enough to change the frost to droplets...

 ...but it had also risen enough to highlight the colors of the dogwood beautifully...

Halloween 2014...

the younger boys each had a parade at their school the morning of Halloween...


Micaiah joined in the fun that evening dressed as a "CIA" agent to go with his friend the Navy Seal...with the look on the other boys faces I think he has enough undercover work to do right at home!

Week 44:52 {My Happy Place}...

So I missed a couple of weeks but I'm jumping back in with one of my absolute favorite things...

...catching the sunrise out of our kitchen window.  The colors change so quickly as the sunrises.  These two pictures were taken minutes apart one morning last week.
