Its a Fall Family

Tobin is one of the cutest babies ever! As you can tell from past blogs, I go crazy over babies... He has sparkling wide eyes that remind me of a kitten, and he is aware and alert looking at his surroundings. Meaghan and Josh are such wonderful parents who watch Tobin's movements with love and joy. It was a cold day, and we had to go fast taking these pictures! But it all turned out great! Thanks for a fun shoot.

Joy to my Heart

My nephew Marcus is such a sweet blessing to the Hadford/Vander Giessen family! He is full of laughter, and gibber gabber, and squeals of happiness. The squeals could go down a notch or two, though... He loves cars and trucks! At Manito Park we sat on a bench for at least 20 minutes watching a tractor lift leaves into a truck. Marcus would have sat there for the rest of the afternoon if he could, but they took a break. "Bye bye, vroom vroom," he said, after much reluctance. Thanks for a wonderful nephew, Alexandria and Michael!

Daddy's Little Girl

Last Sunday was such a rainy day, but for a few hours in the afternoon the clouds broke up to let a splash of sun shine through. There was lovely natural light when Luke and his daughter Ella got their pictures taken together. The park was covered in hues of green, yellow and red which made a beautiful setting. Ella is a sweet girl with lots of fun energy and liked to "ham up" for the camera! She loved playing around with her dad at the park. Thanks for a fun session!

Weekend Adventure

I have lived in Spokane most of my life but I had never gone to Glacier National Park until last weekend! I have been wanting to go there all summer, but never made the time to actually do it. Then my friend Jane, who is from Iowa, said, "I am so close to Glacier Park, it would be sad to go home and never see it."

"That would be so sad!" I said, and right there we made a plan to see it the coming weekend. Everything planned out great, so off we went on a beautiful adventure into Montana, seeing shining lakes, purple mountains, and big blues skies.

It was so cold and dark when we left for our hike at 8:30 am, until the sun peaked over the mountains thawing out the shadows, making a warm, lovely day!

The sun made the fire-wore trees glow white looking like porcupine quills.
