Day 111 - Dress Rehearsal

What better time to make sure the Halloween costume fits, than the night before!!  Good thing it did end up fitting, because there wasn't a Plan B.  Oh and she LOVES being a "Very Berry Butterfly," so there's a plus!  I'll save the full on shots for tomorrow :)

Day 110 - Halloween Boredom

Nothing too exciting for Day 110.  Just messing around with some Halloween decorations...

Day 109 - Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today with Nana and Papa!  Although it was pretty windy and colder than we planned for, I think it was a success!  I LOVE the farm we found out about this year.  No lines and it's only about 5 minutes from our house! Sounds good to me!

There are more pictures to come - I just haven't gone through them all yet :)

Day 108 - Sleeping Beauty

Per usual - I'm a day late in posting!

Last night, right before I went to bed, I snuck into Briana's room to attempt a sleeping shot using my phone as the light source.  I love it and she didn't even flinch!

Day 107 - Darn you, Pioneer Woman!

Yesterday (day 107) was a photo of some seriously addicting apple dumplings, brought to the world by The Pioneer Woman.  These are to die for and there were many more, where these last few stragglers came from ;)

Day 106 - Cutest Cook in the Kitchen

She insisted on wearing her apron and chef's hat all night, tonight, so of course I insisted on pictures :)

Day 105 - Drum Head

Day 105 was yesterday...

Briana surprised us all when she started counting in Spanish - all the way up to Cinco!!  Unfortunately the pretty impressive feat was overshadowed by the fact that she was walking around in circles with a drum on her head :/

It made for a very funny video and a really cute photo!

Day 104 - Good News, Bad News

Tonight we're going to play a little game of Good News, Bad News.

The Good News: My lineup of TV for the evening...

The Bad News: Well, just read the headline in the neighborhood news letter. Yikes!!!

Day 103 - Nooooo, Mommy!

Again, I took pleasure in capturing a temper tantrum - haha! Love this little face even when it is screaming "Noooooo!" to me ;)

Day 102 - Apple Pickin'

Today we drove up to Carter Mountain to go apple picking with a few families from the fire department.  The day was gorgeous and Briana had so much fun!! We couldn't have asked for a better Sunday!

Day 101 - Kaleb turns One!

Today was Kaleb's first birthday party!  He sure loved that cake!!

Happy Birthday little guy!!

Day 100 - BOO'ed!!

Can you believe it?!?  Day One-Hundred!!! 

Well I wish I had a more exciting picture to mark the big day, but this will have to do.  Our house was BOO'ed today so we made buckets to pass the "Boo" along :)  I really love our neighborhood!

Day Ninety-nine - The Girls

I'm trying to get in front of the camera at least once a month.  A remote shutter would be super helpful, but I think we made due, with what we "didn't" have ;)

  

Day Ninety-eight - Bye-Bye Mommy

This is her way of getting away from my camera :) Little Stinker!

Day Ninety-seven - Good Morning!

This morning I let the dogs outside and was greeted by this gorgeous view!!  I knew I had to run and grab my camera as soon as I saw this light flooding into the neighbors back yard.

Mother nature was definitely having a Good Morning :)

Day Ninety-six - Girlie Girl

I don't know where all this girlie-girlie stuff came from, but she's been so funny lately!  Tonight I walked in on this...hahaha!

Day Ninety-five - It's officially Fall

It's officially fall and that means that there will be plenty of chili to enjoy!  Yumm!! 

I also like how our Rachael Ray pots incorporate my fall theme with their orange handles ;)

Day Ninety-four - Home Sweet Home

After a long day of playing and a short road trip to a friends Bridal Shower,  Briana closes the door on a fun Saturday!  I'm not sure what it is about this photo, but I like it :)

Day Ninety-three - Intensity

Today is another just another picture of Briana.  Look at how intense this stare is!  Nothing comes between a girl and Diego, apparently.

Ninety-two - Belle Isle

Today was great!! Justin and I had a Date Day and it was fabulous!!  We spent the morning walking around Belle Isle and ended our trip at Burger Bach in Carytown.  That part wasn't as "great" but Belle Isle was wonderful and here are a few shots from the day!

Day Ninety-one - Heebie Jeebie's

Following along with my Halloween theme from yesterday, I caught a shot of this scary guy!! He gave me the creeps this morning!!

Day Ninety - BOO!!

Tonight Briana helped me decorate for Halloween!  We have a lot more to do but tonight was a good start, anyway!

Next stop - the dreaded pumpkin patch.  In all honesty, the experience wasn't all that great last year, but what's Halloween without pumpkins??

Day Eighty-nine - Giggles

When I named this blog, this is the image I had in my head.  Pure laughter and giggles from our little girl, captured in an image.  It's not technically perfect, by any stretch, but that's OK because I love the emotion of it.

Day Eighty-eight - Typical Day

There isn't a big headline for today.  Just a normal shot of Briana, being super cute, but actively avoiding my camera :)  

I feel like the day after an actual session, is like having a picture hangover - haha!  It's hard to just jump back in ;)

Day Eighty-seven - McKenna's Newborn Shoot

Today I had the absolute pleasure of taking Newborn pictures, for Jenna and Mike, of their precious little girl, McKenna!!  I'll admit, I was a nervous wreck driving home, not knowing what kind of pictures I had gotten.  This was my first newborn shoot, afterall! But, I have been so giddy since working through all of them!!

Jenna & Mike - Thank you SO MUCH for letting me do this. I hope you love them!

Everyone - The true star of the show - McKenna Rose!!

Day Eighty-five and six - Double Prepared

Days 85 and 86 were yesterday and the day before.  I didn't post either day because they both led up to today, Day 87.  Are you still following me??

Day 87 (my next post) is huge and needed this grand introduction-ha!

Eighty-four - The Enemy

Weeds!! They just keep popping up! No matter how many times you spray and try to pick 'em!  Actually, I haven't picked any weeds, but Justin is doing a fantastic job trying to keep up ;)

Day Eighty-three - Big Day!!

Today's a big day for my little, side photography hobby!  I'm putting it all out there to hopefully round up some more clients.  You can now reach me on Facebook and on my own site!

Check 'em out at the top of the blog!! Woo-hoo!!
