I keep thinking ‘this session will be my last in warm weather’ but since I’m still wearing flip-flops, it’s still warm.  Considering it’s November 5th, we’re doing pretty well!

The light during Miss E’s session was just about perfect.  Okay, it was absolutely perfect.  Maybe the light was just being extra friendly that day since it was leaving an hour earlier…  *sniff*.  Anyways, I know mom has been waiting for these and I’m behind in my posting so here they are…

We didn’t stick little Miss L in her Halloween costume, but I still had plenty of scares from her trying to crawl headfirst off of everything!  And look how she’s grown! 

Here she is almost a year ago….

and all grown up…okay, she thinks she’s all grown up and independent.  Parents all know how that works….

This littlest one was a tough one to crack a smile! 

This little one loved to smile but I had to be quick to catch her in one of her ‘quiet’ moments!

Love the leaves…so did she!

I ‘extra huge puffy heart’ this photo below.  I love a lot of photos I take, not because I took them, but because the kids I get to photograph are so amazing and this one of the latest that takes my breath away.  I love her slight smile, her sparkly eyes and the way that one little piece of hair falls across her cheek.

And this one makes me laugh out loud.
