door county

in october, we typically take a little getaway to sedona.....

but this year, we decided to change things up a bit.....

the hubby and i took a little trip to beautiful door county....

it had been a few years since our last visit.....

we stayed at the same inn on the quiet side of the peninsula....

but, explored new places and ate at new restaurants....

so much to see and do...

such a quaint, charming place to visit...

it was a lovely long weekend away...

last one

whew! it was a busy october!

i ended the busy season with these sweet kiddos....

i've been photographing them since they were little...

and they are growing up much too fast...

but, they are turning into such fine young people....

i enjoyed my time with them....just wandering and exploring a cute little park tucked away in the city...

thank you once again...it is always an honor!

short & sweet

this october weather has been rather unkind as far as trying to take photos for families goes...

rescheduling has been the name of the game...

and we have battled cold, wind, clouds, & rain....

needless to say.....a couple of my sessions were short and sweet.....

so honored to capture these lovely friends and their beautiful families....

here is a little sampling....

tree farm fun

recently, i had the honor in meeting this beautiful family....

we went to the local tree farm (a new location!) and had a blast....

there was chasing and hide & seek....

laughter and silliness...

and many precious moments in between...

just a whole lot of love...

i truly enjoyed my time with you all...

(and i'm pretty sure i heard little mr. man say it was fun! ;) )

thank you for allowing me to capture a little bit of you...

love is...hand knit sweaters

oh how i love this family....

i always have so much fun with them....

each with their own distinct personalities....

they are a joy to be around....

i especially loved littlest boy's enthusiasm for being in front of the camera....;)

and little miss has them all wrapped around her little finger....they all just love her up...how could you not with that sweet, sweet face? (she also makes the best sassy & pouty faces....!)

and mom....who i am so impressed by...one who knitted all of the boys' beautiful sweaters....

now that's love....

thank you once again for the honor, my friends....

i had so much fun capturing a little bit of you....
