I go back and forth on how many images to blog. I always love so many and want everyone else to get to love them too.

But sometimes I want it to be a surprise for the parents. And sometimes it just depends on what time of night I finish editing ; – )

This post will fall into the former–lots and lots of pictures. I just couldn’t get enough of these kiddos. They live in such a gorgeous place- rich with history and beauty.

So I hope the parents and grandma (   <——-she’s the stylist here ; – ) love the images!!!

I have added yet another family to my basket of blessings. What a treat! These beautiful children are so full of life. I love how their little minds go with me when exploring the orchard and creating fantasies.

We went everywhere from living on an apple farm- to hunting for birds-  to having a potato sack race. Oh and who could forget the harmonica jam session.

Meet Sophia and her plums- she just turned one and was so excited about her new found mobility. She also discovered her love for plums. I mean this chick ate five of them!!!! YIKES

This sweetie was all about day dreaming with me. She was pretending she lived right there on the farm.

And mister….

what a sweet soul. He was helping me look for birdies and guess what we found?!!

Now is game time.

Who is up for a race?

Then there is mom. Beautiful- amazingly put together- and super smart. These are really lucky kiddos ; – )

Hope you had as much fun looking as I do; – )

This family is one of my favorites.

They are young – fun-  full of spunk- and the mom and I could chat all day!

So knowing that I was really looking forward to their session. Beautiful fall colors- and all things boy.

I really love how taking family pictures can turn into an adventure. The boys posed for a few wall portraits then we dug into the fun stuff—–tricycles, swords and ended with a bubble bath!!!! By the end of the night I went from “lame” to the “most fun picture lady”….SCORE!

The perfect family…….

How fun was this??! What kiddos wouldn’t want to splash around without a care in the world.

the elusive smile from this little guy!

going to slay some dragons.

and the Real life family portrait. ; – )
