Vermont in autumn

As I was driving home from the preschool practise shoot I pulled into a dirt driveway. This view has caught my eye as I go speeding by for almost the whole year. Today I had my camera in my car - yippee!! As I'm focusing I hear clomp, clomp, clomp behind me and I turn around to see an annoyed farmer. I profusely appologize for trespassing but say I couldn't possibly pass this beautiful view without getting a picture. I butter him up by saying what an amazing place he has and how lucky he is. After I am done rambling, he softens up and says...I thought you were a hunter going after my cows!! Ha! It's hunting season (bow and arrow) and he's found some arrows in his pastures. Anyways, turns out he's super nice and invites me back any time to photograph his view and his property if I want. Here's the shot I got.

Lots and lots!

I am photographing preschool pictures next week so this morning was dedicated to finding a good spot to photograph all the little kiddos. It's a little tricky because there is barely any shade. But hopefully it will be a cloudy day. Here are some shots of my kids... they got treats when we got home for being such good sports!

Some fall posing!

I'm not going to be able to do this very often...these poor mums probably lost 15 flower buds by the time we were done. What is it with little boys and flowers? Does the phrase "smell the flowers" mean pick off all the flower tops? Ha ha!! I have a school shoot coming up next week and thought I'd put a little fall flair into the photos. I get to practise on Griffin, he was very pleased about it!

The Petti Skirts are here!

I have been waiting since MAY. It seems like forever ago but finally these beautiful handmade petti skirts are here! Ella and Madeleine are crazy about them...actually that is an understatement. I took a few pictures out in our yard before they started riding bikes and drawing with chalk. I finally had to conviscate them before they got

ruined. But I'm sure we'll be pulling them out a lot from here on out.

What I've been doing....

Sorry, no pics today. This is what I have been working so hard on for the last little while. My new website is up and running. Have a look!

First Day of School

The first day of school! Here they are walking the plank, oops I mean bridge! Griffin first all smiles as he rolls Noah's Ark across. Ella next showing off her new dress from Granny. Then Madeleine with her shy smile. It's the first day of her going to a real preschool. The only time that she will be with Ella. The last pic is of three of them walking towards the front door. Too cute!

Swim lessions

I know, I'm bad. Hardly any posts in August. The end of the season is just tough for some reason! Here's a snap from swim lessons a couple of weeks ago. Madeleine was so proud because she went off the diving board!
