Fall Family Special Shoots

Over the course of the last few weekends, I ran my fall family special for photoshoots. Typically, I run this special for about a month and a half. This year, I decided to run it for two weeks and call it good. I had a really good response, which resulted in being totally slammed for a few weekends.  I won't do a post for each shoot, but here are some of my favorite shots from the special as a whole:

Sierra {SENIOR}

Sierra is the daughter of the receptionist at my work. She needed some senior portraits done, so we went out (twice, actually) and ended up with some great shots. Here are some samples:

Out-Takes

Sometimes they really out-shine the rest of the shoot.

 

This was from a shoot of mine two weekends ago. I didn't notice it while I was shooting, but am still laughing about it today.

Still Alive & Kicking

Yes, I'm still here. My fall special was a huge success....I think I had a total of 12 bookings in the short period I ran the special.  I typically run it for over a month but decided to just do two weeks this year. So I crammed 12 shoots into two weekends. Yes, I'm insane. Oh, and I also turned 31. Damn.

 

Stay tuned......I fully intend to share some highlights from the fall shoots!

Yes, we DID

I know not everyone is a supporter of President Obama, but I am. And today is a wonderful day. I'm so proud of American voters for getting out there and slamming the polls. This was a HUGE election and I'm so glad I got to be part of it (I contributed to the campaign three different times, and I voted). I DO believe in the President. I believe he can get this done. More than that, I am so, SO glad to have someone in office who gives a damn about women's rights. This is a HUGE issue for me, and the thought of what could have happened had the other guy (I refuse to speak that slimeball's name even one more time) been elected....it just makes.me.ILL. That's all I will say about that.

 

America has a lot of work to do. Washington has a lot of work to do - TOGETHER.  The divide in the United States is bigger than ever, and that should concern a lot of people. I know it concerns me. I truly hope that the big wigs across the country can stop the pissing match and move America forward and out of this funk. We need to get back to being a powerful, thriving America once again. I know it can be done.

 

Also, I am so excited that several states stepped up last night and took a step forward in the marriage equality movement. This is another issue that is important to me, and I'm glad we are slowly but steadily eliminating that form of discrimination. That's really what it is. Love should not be subject to discrimination.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was awesome this year! The weather was absolutely perfect - warm enough that the kids didn't need coats, and we were able to go all over the neighborhood without freezing our butts off. I do have to say, though, that the decorations were lacking this year.  Last year, we had numerous houses in our subdivision that were totally decked out.  This year? One cool house. AND the majority of the people had their porch lights off. Meaning: don't come here. Rude!  I think next year we will venture out to different neighborhoods.

 

Here are some photos from our Halloween.
