*C* wanted me to take some pictures with her horse – Jackson – I have never taken pictures of horses – so I was up for the challenge.

This last shot is my favorite.

Thanks again *C* for the chance to capture Jackson – he is gorgeous.

My hair stylist – *C* – is kind enough to put one of my wedding portfolios in her studio. She booked a family session with me for Sunday.

Thanks again girls!

I very rarely have pictures of myself – I don’t think I have hardly any of me and little *M*.

I had *J* take a few at our photo shoot.

Thanks again *J* for the shots.

We live in Jared’s grandparents house right next to Jared’s parents. His g-parents spend a large portion of the year in Florida – when they do come north – they stay with Jared’s parents. Even though we live next door – it seems like we struggle to make time to see each other. For Christmas this year I wanted to try and get a family picture – my trusty second shooter – PM – was not available – so I tried the self-timer on my camera. After having to get out the manual – I finally figured it out. This was the second shot we tried.

Not bad at all – considering that I had to keep counting to myself while I jogged down the hill and tried to position myself in 10 seconds.

Gram and Grampa Clark – such sweet AWESOME people.

My awesome in-laws and g-parent in-laws.

*S* and *J* are sisters – so we took the opportunity to catch some shots of her family too. Her hubbie wasn’t able to come up with them for the weekend – we’ll have to catch those ones next time.

I am so glad to be a part of your lives.

Little *B* in the pumpkin – such a sweetie.

I LOVE this picture of *S* – she is such a sweet soul.

Thanks again guys – you were all so much fun.

I have written about my dear friend *J* before and her sweet babe *M*. *J* set up a session with me on Saturday for some fun family pictures and pictures of *M*.

Seeing as how I have quite a few sessions to post on – I’m only going to pick my absolute favorites to showcase.

*M* just turned 4 months old.

Such a lil’ pumpkin.

*M* is such a sweet angel baby. She has brought more to her parents life than she can ever know. *J* and *M* you guys are great, loving parents who are blessed with such a sweet angel. Thanks again for having me over – I had SO much fun.

*SWAG ALERT*

I will be hosting a booth at the Arnot Mall Bridal Expo in January. You will have an opportunity to win some sweet SWAG.

*THIS HAS BEEN A SWAG ALERT*

I have ELEVEN new photo shoots to update you on. ELEVEN – I just haven’t had time to sit down and edit and post. I have babies in pumpkins, self-portraits, beautiful horses, and gorgeous families.

I have four to seven more photo shoots between tomorrow and Tuesday – hopefully I will catch up.

Thanks to those who stop by and see what I am up to.

I will blog more about my long-term business plans so that we can all have specifics to pray about.

Sunday afternoon I grabbed *K*, *K*, and *L* between church and my appointment to catch a few shots of the three of them before *L* left for college again.

We LOVE these kids – they go to our church and our very dear to our hearts.

Thanks *E* family – WE LOVE YOU GUYS !!

I don’t like Halloween – I don’t know that I have ever really LIKED it. When I was a kid I had to take all my candy and give it to Samm and Derek since I am allergic to chocolate. When I was in 3rd grade we watched the Headless Horseman story – it scared me so much.

There is ONE good reason for Halloween –

Make that TWO good reasons. The FRANKENBERRY and BOOBERRY are indeed WONDERFUL reasons for Halloween.

Halloween cartoons are another good reason – Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin – Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Pumpkin Who Couldn’t Smile – Garfield Halloween.

I should have stocked up on the cereal.
