A good friend from back in Philly was out visiting family in western PA and drove just that much further to hang out with us for about a day. I couldn't resist taking some shots of her gorgeous son, now if only my kids hadn't been there too and I could have had a full hour with this guy, so Handsome!

Also I will be back to shoot editing, honestly, the digital darkroom can just zap brain cells if it is all you do. So I took a little break and got my family blog caught up a bit (even up to these photos from mid August), and now I feel refreshed and ready to tackle my outstanding shoots. Again, thank you to everyone for your continued patience, you all are the best! I am so ready to a week ahead of photo shoot editing goodness! First up, newborn bundle of cute, Evan.

Pick a Peck of Delicious Rowan

Rowan has got a bit of an apple theme goign for his birthday photos, last year it was much colder and the apples much bigger! Just a sneak mama, more to come.

Little Man on campus

The A family and I met up at Inniswood as I was saying goodbye to the tu-tu-riffic M Family at the Inniswood Metro Gardens Gate. The shoot was primarily for little man's 18 month pics, but I couldn't resist some of sister as well. And the last one, well they are just practicing there O-h i-o! Emphasis on the "O!"

A Chilly Summer Morning

We had a rough start to this shoot, why? Because in the middle of September, it was frigid in the morning when we met up, no indian summer this year, hello fall! The kids toughed it out, and before we knew it the sun was shining and we could feel our blood moving again. We tromped all over Inniswood, and I even got to give a few piggyback rides. More to come mom, just a few to tide you over.

Always a good time

All the things we adults noticed didn't matter to this little 2 year old, there were rocks to be thrown in the river, and helicopters kept flying over head.

At long last

After over 40 weeks of pregnancy, a long labor, and 6 weeks of anticipation, I present little Miss Rachel. She and I spent several hours on a double guest bed right next to a window trying to get comfy and asleep. Rachel had better ideas, like breastfeeding, and pooping. I think we still got some gorgeous ones though. See you in a few weeks for your 3 month little one.

Sway with Me

Miss Cailyn, in all her Cailyn goodness. Happy Number 2 kiddo.

A Quick Puddle Jump

You have got to love a mom who gets excited that the shoot is going to get rained on. Not final edits by any means, but the selection should give you a flavor for how the shoot went, and it was a whole lot of fun.

A princess and three squires

The H Family mett up with me at the Cox Arboretum for a little session of "photo-cize." taking pictures of 4 active children in scorching heat can be quite the workout. The shoot was mostly about their youngest, the little princess, but her noble squires hammed it up too. There are plenty more to come but here are a few that caught my eye.









remember that sneak peeks, are just that, the final proof may be the same or quite different. shoots get a flavor when I edit them all at once and I don't know that until I sit down to run the whole shoot. that and I am sitting in the dark staring at a laptop screen, I may feel differently about what I did come morning light. but I know mom doesn't really care about that part, she just wants a peek!
