Work all day, maybe a little play

Well, today is going to be a full day of proofing. I have lots to catch up on. Wedding proofs to finish up and lots of family shoots to touch up. I love my work and I love my computer, but the weather this week is unbelievable. So warm and sunny. My husband and father in law are busy in the fields harvesting the corn ( another one of my favorite things of fall). My husband Mike is just is in his high glory when they take off the corn. Especially when we've been blessed with this gorgeous weather and a very abundent crop. It make working outside so much more fun. Something I wish I could do this week. I'm going to take a break later on this afternoon though. I have to meet with my daughter Megans' teacher after school, and then I'm hoping to do a shoot with my kids at the neighbors apple orchard, if my lovely children will cooperate. I can hear them now "aw mom, do we have to? we just did pictures on Sunday". Hehe. Oh the life of a photographers child.

Yesterday, my friend Jeannie phoned me from Texas. Her Husband Lawrence and her and their SIX children moved to a ranch down there in August. We miss them dearly. Especially my son Ian who was very best friends with thier son Jake. It was so great to hear from her. I also got to talk to little Kate, and Jo, and hear baby Bree too. It was an unexpected call and it just made my day.

This is my favorite picture of Ian and jake

Fabulous Fall

The new season is here. The taste of fresh picked apples off the tree, the stunning colors of the trees, the warm days and crisp cool nights, pulling out the sweaters, stacking firewood for the upcoming winter, pumpkins, farmers markets and thanksgiving. These are a few of my favorite things this time of year.

The fall is an amazing season. Especially for photographers.

One of the best things in the whole world I love to do is take pictures in the fall. Nature's background is breathtaking with the changing colors. Driving down the road I'm always on the lookout for a perfect picture spot. It can be an amazing, abandoned stone house, an old rustic fence, or just a single, big oak tree. This year my family did our family pictures at the Elora Gorge. It is one of my most favorite spots. I'm a real water person, it just pulls me, so it's of no surprise to my closest family and friends that I made my kids sit in the water with me while my brother in law Chris took our picture. By the end of the afternoon, everyone was getting involved, playing around in the water. It was so much fun. It's days like that when I feel so blessed.

This is me with my kiddies. My pride and Joy.
