{Autumn just might be here….}

I woke up foggy eyed  this morning and ran the thermometer to see what the temperature was outside.  And guess what?  It was a crisp and lightly windy 51 degrees out!!  I was so excited.  I love cool weather and it just doesn’t feel like fall until the coolness nips at your nose in the morning.  I even wore jeans today – the first time in 6 months!  Tyler forgot he had long pants and was shocked when I he saw what I had laid out for him – his jaw dropped and he giggled ‘I love pants, I didn’t know I still had any’.  Brielle….well she was not going to put on anything but a dress.  But squealed with excitedly about putting on the warm and cozy fluffy sweater I had out for her.  She said ‘I haven’t seen this since I was a baby’.  Too funny.    Just wanted to share my excitement!  Happy Autumn blog friends!

The picture above was taken this morning.  Of course the kids aren’t wearing their sweaters since the house was too warm for them.  But it was pretty chilly outside – really.  Oh and today was tie day for Spirit Week at Tyler’s school so you can’t really see it but he’s wearing one of daddy’s ties with his green t-shirt.  He really gets into spirit weeks at school -  I love that about him.

{Brothers}

Aren’t these boys adorable?!  I’m lucky to be friends with their momma, my dear friend Clarity.  I got the biggest kick out of this session – these two were absolute characters and they got along with each other so well.  I loved seeing their interaction, listening to their silly jokes, and hearing their laughter.  Dominick, the adorable older brother with red hair was giving me all of his impersonations  (I happened to snap a shot during one of him singing the SpongeBob theme song, love his facial expression).   Drake, the younger brother, was a little quieter but just as much fun and silly.   I think he was pretty entertained by his brother and together their laughter echoed off the alley way where we were photographing.   Here’s a peak into our session.

{Designer Spotlight: ZoZoBugBaby Pattern}

img_6694e-web-size

Oh my, look what ZoZoBugBaby has been up to now!  For you crafty people out there who can follow a pattern (unlike me), Julie, owner of ZoZoBugBaby, has teamed up with P&B Textiles to create some gorgeous pattern designs.  This is just one of three that she’s releasing in late November or early December.  The fabric is by Pat Sloan and I think they work so well with Julie’s designs.   Julie is truly talented and amazes me with each of her designs!  I don’t know how she does it all, she’s a very in-demand lady with her work and stays up late into the night working on customers’ orders and new designs. 

Brielle, was a hoot during our session here.  She kept offering ideas and insisted on laying down for that first shot.  I just let her go with it even though some of her poses I didn’t process since she looked like a flamingo with one leg tucked behind her – she kept insisting on that pose.  So funny.  She’s makes me laugh.

{Seattle Session: Michelle & Cliff + 3}

Okay, so the title….what can I say.  I don’t watch Jon & Kate + 8 but I’m seeing them all over the media these days so I couldn’t resist this title.  LOL.  Yep, another Seattle session :)   Look at this beautiful family!  I’ve known Michelle for 7 years now.  We met at our birthing class when we were both ready to pop.  Now her family has expanded to three adorable  children. This session was taken in her huge backyard – it’s pure exploration and fun with the pond, a playground, trees, arbors, and cozy places to sit.  Michelle really wanted pictures of her youngest since we’d previously had sessions with her two girls.  We packed a lot into our 20 minute session :)
