The Geitner Family

Has it really been almost two weeks since my last post?? I've definitely had many things keeping me busy, and one of those things was a fun portrait session with the Geitner family. I went to high school with Matt and Geri, and now they're married with two great kids. Very athletic kids. We all had a good time (even if I did manage to break my thumb during the shoot!), and the sight of Geri holding a basketball still makes me chuckle. :)

Playing in the Leaves

Monday was a beautiful autumn day here in CNY. Mostly cloudy but with some breaks of sun, and thanks to my strict "no raking" policy there were plenty of leaves in the back yard. The boys had the day off from school, so we spent a good portion of the afternoon playing outside. Griffin had a great time throwing the leaves - up in the air, at his brother, at me. Grant spent most of his time actively trying to avoid looking nice for pictures. He's just at that age where he doesn't want to be my little model anymore. As he told me, "I'm all smiled out - you take too many pictures, woman!" Yeah, that's our little 9-year-old attitude shining through.

But even with Grant making things difficult, I am quite pleased with some of the pictures I got...

This is what happens when they decide to stop throwing leaves at each other and instead come after me.Playing in the Leaves
