I'm with the band

Several weeks ago when it was still warm and the fall had just started to bloom, Mike asked if I would take some shots of his son's band. The boys were very laid back about it but also seemed kind of excited to have a "photo shoot." My payment was being able to listen to them play in the garage, a true garage band :) I made some album covers for them which you see here. Michael is the shy seeming aloof drummer. I especially liked the second one since it was difficult to get him to look at the camera at all!

Last game of the season

Mike's two youngest daughters both play soccer and I have had some fun the last few weekends going to their games. Both of them really enjoy playing and have very smiley personalities! These shots are of the youngest, Alyssa.

Lovely Fall

Mom had a great little road she had been wanting to take me on to get some pictures. It was a dead end road up in the woods past her house. Turned out to be just lovely with the fallen leaves which still had some color to them. I love how in this shot the road is off to the side and the line of trees leaves is the focus.I also snagged this shot outside of my mom's house, wheelbarrow filled with apples from the backyard. Definitely reminds me of how blessed I am to live in a small beautiful town and how wonderful it was to grow up in the country!

Beauty is...

Beauty is a cool autumn evening, with wisps of grey cloud and sun kissed skies. Beauty is the warmth of a hug and a shared hot meal. Beauty is a broken screen door and freshly hung curtains. Beauty is something simple and true and just within the reach of your heart!
