Fall.

Well, it’s not fall yet, but it’s beginning to feel like it.  I guess our 2 weeks of summer are over, here in northwestern Pennsylvania.  Haha!  Recently, two of my FAVORITE girls came and spent the day with us.  It wasn’t quite warm enough for swimming, so what did I do?  Put them in some fall clothes and took some pictures of them.  What??  It’s what I do!  It was SO much fun.  Aren’t they just beautiful?  In my mind, they are still babies, but in reality…they’re growing up.  *sigh*  They are two of the sweetest, kindest, most helpful girls I know!  My kiddos adore them, as do I.  Aren’t they cute?!

Fall.

As much as I am enjoying summer, it’s hard to deny the fact the fall is rapidly approaching.  Everywhere you look, fall lines are being released.  I have to admit…it makes me giddy with excitement.  While I LOVE summer, I LOOOOOOVE fall.  The clothes, the accessories, the pretty leaves, the crisp air…it’s delightful!  SO, you can only imagine my excitement when the amazingly talented and SWEET Angie, from Ryah Sofia, asked me to shoot her fall line!  Oh yes!!  I had the joy of picking out some wonderfully fall clothes, a cozy fall setting, beautiful people…the whole nine yards.  It made me SO HAPPY.  Thankfully, I had some AMAZING models to work with.  Not only were they gorgeous and cooperative, but they put up with wearing fall clothes on the ONE 100 degree day we had.  Awesome folks, I tell ya!

When I received the pieces from Ryah Sofia, they blew me away.  Angie never ceases to amaze me with her talent.  The pieces are just gorgeous!  I don’t even know if I can choose a favorite.  If you are unfamiliar with her work, I HIGHLY suggest checking out her site.  I am not even joking when I tell you that EVERY SINGLE TIME my daughter wears a piece from RS, people stop us and ask us about it.  Every time.  Complete strangers.  Compliments galore!  Oh, and I have to be honest here…I wear them, too.  Sometimes I wear my hair to the side and clip a single applique at the base, other times I wear a headband.  They rock.

So, now that I have talked your ear off, I will show you some of the images we were able to get during our shoot.  I would LOVE to hear from you.  If you have had a wonderful experience with Ryah Sofia or if you want to tell me what your favorite applique is, etc, please tell me!

Enjoy the photo overload!!

XOXO,

Kelly

Oh Miss G.

Sweet, sweet Miss G.  I had the grand pleasure of spending some time with this little beauty last week!  You may remember her from our session LAST YEAR.  I can’t even explain to you just how wonderful it is to watch these little ones grow.  Seeing them makes my heart happy.  Watching them turn into such amazing children is a blessing in itself.  This little one was just able to sit at our last session and now, she is exploring, searching, walking, climbing, TALKING…oh my!  It was SO much fun sharing in her excitement over the flowers, horses, dirt, everything!

To mom & dad:  Thank you for, again, choosing me to capture your daughter’s amazing spirit!  I hope you enjoy viewing your little sneak peek as much as I enjoyed working on it :-)

XOXO

Squishy baby sweetness.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of doing a 6 month session for Mr. D!  You may remember him HERE from his newborn session.  I know I’m just the photographer, so it’s easy for me to say, but MAN did those 6 months go FAST!  I absolutely love watching the little ones grow up.  Mr. D is turning into quite the little man.  He is so cute and has so much personality!  I am so happy I was able to have this session with him.

To M & A:  Thank you SO much for asking me to photograph your little man again!  It was wonderful to see you all.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

XOXO,

Kelly

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting up with these cuties for a Mini Session.  We had an absolutely GORGEOUS day for it!  We ventured to a cute little nearby town and were able to grab some cool shots.  My favorite of the places we found was this little stairway.  It was SO fun!  I just love doing sessions in little towns.  These kiddos were dressed SO cute and had awesome hair pretties, too.

I hope you all had as much fun as I did and I hope you love the shots!

XOXO

Friends.

This past weekend, some friends of ours came for a visit.  Of course, a couple photo shoots were involved!  We did a little children’s session at a nearby park and then we went into town for a family session.  I will blog some of the family session soon!  For now…a glimpse at the session with Miss E and Mr. J!  They were SO much fun!

To mom:  Thanks so much for the wonderful visit and for allowing me to take pics of those cute kiddos!  It was SO much fun!

XOXO

In need of some new family photos?  Some pictures of you and your significant other?  Are the photos of your little one(s) outdated?  I have a solution for you!

A friend, and fellow artist, is holding an auction this week for a wonderful cause.  She is the talent behind Ryah Sofia Headbands and has a personal reason for wanting to raise this money.  ALL the proceeds from the auction will go to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  I am proud to say that I have donated a FULL session and a disc with ALL  images!  Please check out the website and consider participating.  The link to the auction IS HERE.

Please, if you haven’t had your photos done in a while, consider this.  Some day you will be SO glad you have them to look back on, plus, it is all for a good cause.

Thank you!!
