It’s officially October! Just a few weeks until Halloween. And what better way to get ready for Halloween than some photos with pumpkins?

But beware the holidays are just around the corner….82 days until Christmas. If you are thinking of getting some family portraits done at the beach, natural area, or other setting contact me now. October is booked and November only has two sessions left!

Last weekend I had the opportunity to second shoot with David Hoffman up in LA. I had so much fun! It was so amazing seeing all the excitement, anticipation, and emotion of the day. Here are some photos of the reception. I’ll share some of the ceremony and formals in another post.

Today was the first day of school, and I still can’t believe I have a kindergartner. So many changes and exciting things are in store for my little guy…and me! Aside from eating with Grandparents, he has never been away from me for a meal. I had a hard time with that today, but he brought back an empty lunch bag, so I don’t think it bothered him. Here are a few snaps of his first day and his class.

I wanted to share a cool idea I found to document each school year. I had him write his name and age and each year I’ll do the same in the same spot on the first day of school. It will be a great way to see the progression in his handwriting and his growth (with the dry erase board as a reference). So here is the Kindergarten shot.

My youngest recently turned three. I look at him and still think he’s a baby. I can’t believe he’s entering the terrible threes growing up so fast. He’ll be starting preschool in a few weeks and before I know he’ll be off to college. To celebrate the occasion, I wanted to have a pool party, but somehow Grandma’s pool turned GREEN! So instead of a birthday party we just celebrated at home with a couple of his close buddies. Here is my little dude with his homemade ice cream cake. (If you need a quick, easy, impressive looking, delicious cake, this is really fool-proof!)

What better way to celebrate Grandma’s 70th birthday than have the whole family take a vacation together. Since it’s rare to get all 13 together, this family decided to have family photos taken to commemorate the special occasion. Here is a sneak peek of Grandma and her adorable Granddaughters.
