Cute kids and great weather

As I am sitting here at the computer listening to the wind howl and dreading the thought of possible snow, I am so glad that the weather this past weekend was unseasonably warm.  It was perfect! Check out this cute family and if you want to make a little kid laugh, ask them to say "pickle pants."  ;)

Sweet baby boy

Congrats Cody and Arlene!  The little man is adorable and so sweet.

Cool windy days

Taking outdoor photos is always unpredictable.  Thankfully, this fall has been pretty kind to me and I have not had to reschedule photos due to the weather.  Thank you, "F" family for getting up early to beat the harsher late morning sun.  At least the wind wasn't too bad for most of the session.

Senior photos in Parkville

Senior sessions are such a nice change of pace.  I love all kinds of sessions...even the challenging ones.  I love families and babies and variety but to take portraits where you only pose one person who is able to listen and cooperate...so fun. :)

And then there were four

Congrats Rachael and Eddie on the new addition!  It was great seeing you guys and catching up.

Seize the day

I believe that life isn't about the places that you go or the things that you do but it is about the people that you meet along the way.  As I am nearing the end of 2014, I can't help but reflect on all of the wonderful families that I have met this year.  I know that not everyone loves to have their photo taken (I hear this quite often) but I am thankful for every person who allows me to record their special memories.  Focus on the important things and seize the day...

Chilly days and beautiful sunsets

Brrrr...fall came quickly with the weather dropping from the 80's down to the 30's.  With the weather change and windy days came some gorgeous clouds and colorful sunsets.  Happy fall!
