I love summer. I like it warm but one thing that excites me about fall is the color. Here in New England our autumn is in full swing! Now that I have my DSLR I love it even more! I love the photos I've gotten of the boys this year and last. Then the next day I took Sawyer outside. I had found the hat we used to do our 'Baby + Pumpkin Photo Shoot' and wanted to see if he'd wear it. At first he … [Read more...]

I can't believe it's September! Where did summer go? Like very year our schools kick off the 1st day of school the Tuesday after Labor Day. Johnny was not impressed with me still wanting to take his "1st day of school" pic but I told him he had to give me one.
