this is the second year that i've gotten to make some portraits of mackenzie + madigan. it seems that NY always saves a nice chilly day for the three of us. they are troopers though, and so much fun to photograph. and not to toot my own horn, but on this particular day i got two tweens to have actual belly laughs. toot toot!
week 45
Penny: this day here... not one of your best. it was just an out of the blue all around bad day for you. i can't say what caused it, but you were cranky, kinda mean, and just generally in a fairly bad mood all day. not even your gaga could help to shake it for you. however, about an hour before bed you somehow turned it around and returned to your normal happy spirits. i guess we all have our days.
week 46
penny: we're in a bit of a mermaid phase...
week 47
penny: while house/dog sitting for lesli + dave you became quite the little pecan gatherer. in a matter of about 15 minutes this bucket was full and you made sure to repeatedly tell me that we CAN NOT take the cracked ones. lesli thanked you for your hard work by gifting you a bag of your very own already shelled pecans and you tried to sleep with it in your bed. i've since hidden the bag.
linking up with jodi.
penny: two things...
1) when we decided to go vegan, and therefore decided to raise a vegan child, one of my biggest concerns was halloween. i wondered, when you came of trick-or-treating age would you feel left out? would you resent being vegan? would we scar you for life??? well this weekend we got our answer. definitely not! we went around stella's neighborhood, and for the first few houses instead of saying the typical "trick-or-treat", you would ring the bell, wait for someone to answer the door, and immediately say "we're vegan!" we talked you out of that routine and you collected your candy graciously in true halloween fashion. when we got back to stella's house we traded out the non-vegan candy for some vegan options and you were still simply smitten with the whole chain of events. and now every morning your favorite activity is to look through your pumpkin bucket, sort out all of your plunder, and giggle with pride. i love reliving halloween through your eyes.
and now 2) in five months we're moving into the home ONE HOUSE AWAY from stella. we've yet to tell you this. i'm holding out for it to be at least a little bit closer because i know waiting 5 months for the best day of your life to happen is simply way too long!
october was down right bananas! generally early october is the time when i'd make the ol' fall sessions announcement, but see previous statement and you'll understand why this is coming just days before halloween.
with that said though, i've got some time in november if you're interested in getting those family photos you've been putting off. i'll have a few openings for full sessions, and i'll even be opening up some mini session time too. i only offer the latter twice a year, and they're the perfect option if you're just looking to get some pics for holiday cards. as luck would have it, i'll also be traveling to North Carolina and New York during the month, and can definitely work in some out of town families too.
so if you'd like to meet up just raise your hand... and by raise your hand, i mean hit that ol' contact button at the top there!
