Fall in New England…

Are the Barry Manillow lyrics echoing in your mind right now?  "… time in New England took me away…”  Anywho… I digress…

This morning in spite of the downpours on the way there we ventured out to go apple picking with our MOPS group (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers)… thankfully the rain stopped long enough for us to pick our apples, and enjoy some homemade cider donuts (Yummm… how have I gone my whole life without trying these?), and some fresh pressed cider.

The rain drops on the apples did make for some fun shots though…  It occurred to me today walking through the rows of pumpkins, and mums at this quaint farmstand that autumn is a photographer’s dream time of year…

Of course… my daughter could have cared less about apples & pumpkins… Mommy was letting her jump in puddles!!

CAKE SMASH!!

One of my first clients a year ago was this tiny little one…

Now she came to my studio yesterday for her one year old cake smash!!  It was sooo much fun!

Yearbook Fun

I love my high school senior sessions (well I love all my sessions but all of them for different reasons which is an ENTIRELY different post)… Seniors are so fresh, optimistic… full of possibility! 

We had a gorgeous day on Saturday to go to one of my favorite local parks for our session.   She also wanted some of the more traditional yearbook poses so we spent some time in studio too!  She was a great model with such a relaxed, natural smile, and way about her.

Before the shoot… I was testing my new black backdrop with my daughter’s help… doesn’t she look thrilled?

She REALLY didn’t want to hold the flower, but I said.. let’s just give it a try… I’m glad she humored me b/c I think it’s a really cute shot… probably won’t make the yearbook cut though.

More yearbook appropriate…

The outdoor ones are my favorite though….

I hope you all had a nice long weekend!  I’m an autumn girl so I’m soooo excited for this time of year!  Crisp air, apples, baking, cozy sweaters, beautiful colors, not to mention FOOTBALL!  LOVE IT!
