Sisterly Love

I'm just going to tell it like it is… my sister is a babe! Not only is she a babe, but she's also a good sport! I had an amazing time visiting her in Connecticut! We enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL fall colors, took a road trip to Yale, walked around the city of Hartford, and ate a ton of delicious food! (more pictures to come from our adventures) Times like this make me wish we lived closer, but I am thankful for these moments where we get to spend quality time together. Love you Sis! Thanks for a great visit!

 I just love this one! 

I had to agree to have my picture taken too. She's a natural! 

Natural Beauty: The Hungry Caterpillars

The end of the summer brought all kinds of different critters to the garden. The caterpillars came in full force. A different kind attacked the tomato plants. But this caterpillar, the Black Swallowtail, LOVED parsley. These are what they looked like when they first arrived. They were all over the parsley and as they grew, the parsley disappeared. I'm sad that all of my delicious parsley is gone, but I loved watching these caterpillars grow over the 10 days they were here!

Hunter ~ 6 Months

Can you say cutie? Hunter and his family just recently joined our squadron and I was so excited when I was called to take his 6 month pictures! We had a beautiful fall day full of smiles and adorableness! Every time I see this sweet smile of his I can't but help smiling too! 

Sandy Puc's Hand's on Photography Workshop

What an AMAZING opportunity! I first saw Sandy Puc' on CreativeLive in February and spent the weekend soaking up all of the information I could from her 3-day live workshop. Then I heard she was coming to the area. I started checking on tickets, but our schedule has been so crazy lately I was afraid to commit. I got an email a few days before the show to try for a free ticket.... and I ended up getting it!!! My day was spent learning about lighting and posing with some very talented and successful photographers and Sandy Puc'. Here are some of my favorites!

 

Summer Fun

Summer is such a beautiful time of year and has always been my favorite! I love the long days, the thunderstorms, eating popsicles and spending as much time outside as possible. The photo challenge this month at www.iheartfaces.com was Summer Fun. I can't imagine a better way to spend a summer day than a trip to the park!
