And on to the styles…
Stay cool in the cold
As the temperatures continue to drop (not this week!), you may wonder how you can have outdoor portraits without dragging along your heaviest coat. The answer is…say it with me…layers. When it is chilly, add a scarf and hat to increase the style quotient.

Next week, I’ve got something different in mind, so come on over to check it out.

The L family welcomed me to their home and neighborhood for photos. I love in-home shoots, because you capture something so special about the life and times of the family. You just can’t get that in a studio.

Thanks L family!

The return of “What to wear Wednesday!”

Or maybe I should say the A+ family! Logan is FULL of energy and kept me smiling all through the session. I think Mom and Dad might like him a little too!

We ran all over the park in Mantorville, throwing sticks into the water, racing across the bridge, playing in the playground, jumping in puddles, and bike riding.

Thanks A family! It was a beautiful night, but I wish I had a little more of it. Fall is definitely here, and it is time to push session times back.
