Happy Holidays

We finally received a little winter weather the other day and we were beyond excited! I've had this photo shoot planned out in my head for sometime at this location but was afraid it wouldn't snow before Christmas so I was unsure this was going to happen. As soon as I heard the weather we jumped up and headed out. Little Ms Kassidy did not last too long... it was SOOO cold we had to run and get some hot chocolate after 15 minutes! :) I went back later with Maddison and we toughed out the cold weather and had some fun! Anyhow on with the photos...I will let them do the talking!





































Wishing you all a joyous and wonderful holiday! :)

Gumdrops & Lollipops

Now that I have mailed off our Christmas cards I can finally post these. :) These are from our Christmas card photo shoot...I was going for something fun, colorful & girlie this year.











Trust me all this candy came in handy for bribes...the three of them together AND smiling-- oh that never happens!!





I think the sugar was setting in here.....





Some fun with my vintage Kodak Duaflex...













Some individuals....(I am surprised they let me do this they were done at this point!)





And if you wondering Kassie new "thing" lately is wearing her hair down. She looks like a totally different girl...not so much like a baby anymore :(







Hope you all are staying warm....we got some "white stuff" today- can't wait to post the photos-- its so beautiful!! :)

Can't believe its pretty much the end of November. Decided to take the girls out on one last fall photo shoot. I am going to miss these days during our cold yucky winter...












Gotta love watching a three year old trying to throw leaves :)






Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!

Jess, Matt & Freddie

Here is your sneaky peak. :)




Aren't they the cutest?! I was only going to post one but I could not resist one more...




Happy Tuesday everyone! :)

Falling

Do you ever get lost in a place in time and just want to stay there forever?




I do.

The view from up top...

Seems like we left the beach for....





Sigh...yes...some fall eye candy. Decided to go on a little rode trip and do some hiking. This little one was CRAZY with the hiking...she would not stop!!!!




We kept trying to hold her but nope little ms independent wanted to walk on her own.




See that little (okay not little) house down there? I would LOVE to live there...





Fun Fact: Kassie is sitting on a old home site we found. Nothing was left but the stairs, foundation and an old barn...




Fun Photography Fact: this photo was taken in full sun-- early afternoon! Never would I have attempted this before but I am trying to master some new skills. :) Yes, that background is real--- its so amazing there!




We went on some crazy trails...one so rough I couldn't take my camera out at all...until I got to the top...then I was afraid to move....yes on top of the cliff literally looking down to see this....(yikes!)




Overall we had fun maybe might try camping next year..still undecided on that but the girls can't wait to go back!!!

If you believe in fairies...clap your hands!!

It was a beautiful unusually warm day last week.....





The girls were at school. My littlest girlie was bored to death-- so we decided to go have some fun in the woods....




Apparently there are "fairy queens" in the woods and they use sticks as wands. :)





The wind was blowing hard and the leaves kept coming down. Kassie thought it was "raining leaves"-- of course she tried to catch them all. Gotta love a 3 year old imagination...











Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :)
