hartwood acres…

I met this family at hartwood acres. i don’t believe that i am exagerating when i say there must have been atleast 5 other photographers there. slightly awkward, so i was happy this family lived just a minute away and we were able to finish the session in their backyard. lately all of the little boys that i have been photographing have been doing everything to not look at me, making my job slightly difficult but i almost always win in the end. :) his little sister is absolutely gorgeus. here are a few of my favorites from the session…

you can’t go wrong with beautiful blue skies, a cute hat, and adorable chubby cheeks. for some reason, all of the leaves in Oakland were green and we were having some problems finding color. then finally we found one big tree with yellow and orange leaves. yay! :)

[taken on the iphone]

the little miss eneded up being the one and only hannah montana, and the little guy had a last minute costume change to anakin skywalker. while out trick or treating he attacked a darth vader, who certainly wasn’t expecting it. ha..boys are crazy.

apparently, this is what happens when i asked the mister to make breakfast for the kids…

[sorry about the poor photo quality, it was a dark morning]

and this is what happens when i go to old navy the day before halloween. all halloween items were $2, plus i had a 50% off coupon. i am pretty sure this is the best $1 i have ever spent, although our dog, elsie, would disagree.

we will be taking the kiddos trick or treating this evening. our son is a ’skull pirate’ and our daughter is undecided between hannah montana, olivia the pig, or a flower. she said she wants to surprise us. how exciting! happy halloween!

dimples!…

With the help of some warm apple cider from the 21st coffee shop, these two little girls were pretty happy to have their photo taken. the older of the two just got accepted into a modeling agency, and the youngest has the most adorable dimples i think have ever seen!

singing in the rain…

i hope all of you pittsburghers got out this week and enjoyed the amazing weather we had. today it went back to being chilly and rainy, and the little miss only had a half day of school. go figure! we brought out the umbrellas and rain boots, and had a little fun!

**if you are thinking of booking a session before the holidays, now is the time. i only have a couple of dates left in november**
