Oh my gosh. Was this session *really* back in August? Why, yes, I believe it was. I don't get to work with families with older kids very often, but when I do, it's always a treat. I look at mom up there and I imagine myself in her shoes in just a blink of an eye. Well, I hope so anyway,  because those boys of hers are true gentleman and it was a pleasure to get to work with all of them that day. Thought for sure the skies were going to open up on us, but thankfully, the rain held off...

And then, here are the winners for November:

We've got one more round of winners to come at the end of December and then in January, it's voting time again! I can't wait to see what happens this year!

Congratulations to all of the finalists!

Fall always has been and always will be my most favorite time of the year. Driving home from my session tonight, there was the most incredible purple and gold and auburn sunset (too bad the session was over) and I thought before we get swept away into the winter holiday season, perhaps we could appreciate the beauty of fall for a second. I decided to put together a collection of my favorite images from this fall so that maybe when we're all sweltering in the summer next year, we can look back here and feel fresh, and crisp, and warm, and cool, and fuzzy, and hopeful, and thankful all over again...
