packing up and heading out.

it goes by extremely quickly...the summer. we pack up say our goodbyes. settle into a new routine of family outings, dinners with more loved ones and more quality time with people we don't get to see very often. we love it! we have lived it up. it's a little sad, but we are going home!

we are packing it up and heading out. i'm sad to leave our family, yet excited to get started on the new season's festivities. it's hard to be all torn up when fall is just around the corner! and to heather, who i know has started talking of her sadness over not seeing the kids as much...we are returning in the fall for the orchards!!! yes, tickets have been booked for another trip here in october! can't wait...cool weather, warm cider, pumpkins, turning leaves that crunch under your feet,...!!!!!

i am making myself laugh because i have this urge to constantly say the word 'splendid' throughout this post...what is up with that?!!! i just finished watching the 1934 classic movie imitation of life. they speak so properly in those old movies...i adore it. they say words like 'dreadful,' and 'splendid,' and 'divine.' i love it. this movie is a beautiful story...the first five minutes of the movie is worth the twenty minutes of crying i did at the end of it. please find it and watch it. be sure to watch the 1934 version...i know there are two and one is newer.

since i have posted this two times...the first one apparently didn't save, so i was gone from my drafts...i have to elaborate with stories and family pictures later cause i'm about to turn into a pumpkin.

first, i want to post a couple of sneak peeks from a couple of shoots i did this week. loving meeting new people anc capturing moments between family and siblings. i adore it and i am i really thankful that these families invited me to do the capturing and have lots fun while doing so.

loved this family's energy and fun factor. these boys are adorable and loving and so full of personality...
