Autumn fun

Yesterday was a gorgeous autumn day. Even Lake Neatahwanta looked nice! I spent my morning with these guys. The kids are both on the swim team with my boys, so we see a lot of each other. We found a little trail back behind the high school, right on the lake. It's amazing the places I've discovered lately that I didn't know existed!

Mom and the kids found a pile of leaves...

...and Dad and the kids went out on a limb. Nobody fell in the water, but Grace did lose a shoe. We got it back, but she had a soggy foot for the rest of the morning.

Grace and Caleb...

Riding on Dad's shoulders. (Hey Tom, I think the muddy knee just makes it look more authentic!! :) )

The Ireland Family

Highlights from yesterday's portrait session. The full gallery can be viewed here.

Brotherly love

This morning I think I laughed more than I ever have before while doing a portrait session. And I've laughed even more as I've been looking through the images I shot. These brothers just crack me up. Here's a little preview for Mom and Dad. More to come soon - and there will be a ton of great out-takes!

Little Sis

She loves her clothes and she loves the camera...

Violin Hero?

Guitar Hero

These are the first of many photos taken this past Saturday at Beaver Lake (my new favorite spot for portrait sessions). I took pictures of this young man and his two siblings, but for this post I'm giving him the spotlight. And I'm giving his mom a reminder that no matter how much grief he has caused her lately, he'll always be her little baby boy...
