Pumpkin Patch

I wanted to take a minute to share our pumpkin patch photos! Enjoy!

Love this! Hailee looks so happy to be the "pumpkin"!

The girls finding the perfect pumpkin.

Hailee wanted this big one.

My little pumpkins! :)

Love her "cheese" smile!

Jumping on the big pumpkin!

This thing was huge!

So fun!

We put all the girls on this banana bus. Hannah was ready to go!

Ella was excited too!

Can you see Hailee's face on the other side of Hannah?

Yeah, this was her at the end. She was not a fan. Poor little Hails! Notice Hannah still having a good ol' time!

H&H then each got a paci and chilled out the rest of our visit.

What a fun afternoon!

The other day the girls and I went down to the park when they got up from their afternoon naps. It was a gorgeous afternoon and I figure we need to take advantage of any nice weather while we still have it! The girls are so much fun now! I love all of their ages so much. I like that they can do so much on their own and a lot of times I am just there supervising. Going to the park (or anywhere) is still quite chaotic, but is much more fun these days! Enjoy these phone photos from our afternoon out :) And I hope you get a good laugh out of the video!

On the way to the park! They are getting a little snug all in the wagon at once!

Hailee thinks she is a big shot climbing up the "big girl" steps.

Hannah LOVES slides! She isn't afraid of even the biggest ones!

Hailee wanted to walk Chloe home. It was cute, but I don't think so ;)

This was the evening before when we went for ice cream. Paul worked late, so I took the girls. I love that they can all walk up from the car holding hands, and then sit there and eat their own ice cream (or any food for that matter). They all love being Miss Independent and I have no problem with that!

Ok, so the video will not let me add a caption. You may want to turn the volume down so you don't hear me cracking up at them. I really thought this was the funniest thing ever! Then they just kept plowing into each other over and over again. They thought is was hilarious and no one ever cried. Our park adventure sure made my day!

Busy Season

This business that I have of mine definitely has a busy and slow season. Beginning of the year is somewhat slow (January-March), then she Spring and Summer months are steady (April-August), then the Fall (now) is VERY busy right up until about Christmas time! Everyone wants those gorgeous Fall photos with lots of leaves, flowers changing, pumpkins, and photos ready for Christmas cards. Beginning with tonight's session, I have two to three sessions per week through the end of October. November is quickly starting to fill up as well. I am not complaining what-so-ever. I LOVE doing the actual photo shoots, love editing the photos, and especially love delivering the final product. I will not, however, have much time for myself at all in the upcoming weeks. The kiddos will have more than usual daddy time (not a bad thing), and they will all be fending for themselves for some dinners coming up (could be a bad thing :). Anyways, expect fewer than normal blog posts until, well, probably sometime in December. I am just hoping that I find the time to get my own kid's holiday photos done and our cards out before two days before Christmas like last year. We will see! I posted a link to my photography blog site and to my photography FaceBook page below. Feel free to forward to friends and family that are also looking for Fall or holiday photos!

I did however, have a lovely time this past weekend. One of my good friends got married in Kelley's Island. Paul and I took the girls to my parent's to stay for the weekend while we were away. Here are a few photos from the morning before we left for the island. I didn't take my camera to the island, but posted the two that I took on my phone while we were there.
