Stella loves Cole

 I had a great time with this fun family in their beautiful new home and frolicking through the colors of fall.

It is so sweet to see a big sister dote on her baby brother so lovingly. 

 Mid photo-shoot snacks are a must!

  The grandparents even jumped in on the action.

 And who can resist leaf throwing in a spot like this.  Thanks to the neighbors for letting us rearrange some leaves.

Benjamin, Senior Portraits

 I had a hilarious time with Ben down by the river behind the mysterious Strauss Cabin.  We found a bit of fall color and a lot of grasshoppers.  And since he enjoyed this experience so much this future marine may be considering a career in male modeling.  Just be careful not to get into a Zoolander-esque gasoline fight, Ben.

Laura Pritchett

 Beautiful blue-eyed Laura needed some not so smiley photos to promote her upcoming novels. We accomplished our goal amongst the sunflowers and wild grasses of her little house near the mountains, between giggles.

 These are the kinds of notes a writer makes while having a photo shoot.  I'll try not to take it personally.

The Cousins

 Between me and my brothers there are nine kids.  It's a zoo.  So this year I did individual portraits for my Mom's Christmas card instead of attempting to get everyone in one place with a smile.  Here are some highlights.

And we mustn't forget Foster the dog.
