The holidays are approaching at warp speed so please contact me as soon as possible to schedule your holiday sessions or any gatherings you want captured. I have several dates left in December and a few in November. Always first-come, first served, so please speak up, even if you're not positive on dates. We'll make it work!
You know the drill - have a Happy (and safe) Halloween!
I'm always one to be excited for the weekend. Makes everything feel a little lighter, brighter and open to all possibility. On tap for this weekend might be a little trip to Bavarian-styled Leavenworth, WA and maybe some scenic Fall shot gatherin'. Cornstalks and pumpkins and haystacks, oh my! Enjoy the weekend everyone. And take a photo of it!
One of the most beautiful, truly AWESOME posts I have ever read:
Commit to life by Jesh de Rox
My favorite part, "...at what point in growing up do we learn to do things so halfheartedly? when do we forget to move, breathe and live with our whole body? when do we start practicing saying things we don't mean? when did we settle for being so much less powerful than we really are,,, for using such a small percentage of our natural potential?..."
Man, amazing words, so true it almost made me cry. Please, please take a minute to read this.
We had homecoming in our town this weekend and my kids opted not to go. The school has made some ridiculous changes for dances (like all lights all the way on, and, if rumor has it, something like a foot space between dancers at all times - so no slow dancing), so they decided to "hang out" instead. Reminds me of the movie "Footloose!" I think the changes have the opposite effect they intended as now kids will just go somewhere else when they could have been at the school with adult chaperones. Anyway, these are my two daughters and their boyfriends, who are essentially brothers themselves as one's parents are also the guardians of the other. We had a little impromptu photoshoot and they did dinner and a movie. No puritanical school "dance" necessary.
