Yahweh

Meet my new friend Yahweh......

Holy Melt my heart, Batman!!!!

I just want to nibble on this one!!!!

He wasn't so sure he wanted to come and play with me at first-

but we ended up having fun walking in the leaves.

Can't wait to watch this one grow up!

 

Baby O

Fall seems to have been here and gone and winter has reared it's head this last week! I'm so glad that we were able to take advantage of the fall color while it was still here for Miss O's pix!
I'm sure her folks will be happy to know- that her photos are done and on their way!

Have a great week! xoxo Didi V.

Riley II

And without further a-do..... Riley girl is done! Enjoy!

The Boys...

Saturday was rainy and wet... but we lucked out and got a kiss from above with about 5 minutes of sunshine- so we jumped on it. Baby Brayden's big brother Michael popped in to see me and catch a couple of snaps of him with the fall color and his little buddy together. Good lookin kids for sure- those big blue eyes are traffic stoppers!

Holy Cuteness!!!

Brayen popped in to see me on Sunday... man has he changed- so big boy already! His pretty mommy and I have been trying to pull off some fall shots of him for weeks- but this wack-a-doodle weather has kept the lid on our plans for greatness. But we managed a sunny afternoon and a baby who was in a good mood and we got magic. :) Love it when a plan comes together!

Pictures in the Park

Just a super quick glimpse from today.... I met at Lundeen Park- on the north end of beautiful Lake Stevens today with two local families.

I was pleasantly surprised that

1- it wasn't pouring rain as predicted, and
2- that there were still so many beautiful leaves to be had!

It was apparent with the chill in the air- that fall is about done- and winter is almost certainly- just around the corner!

(I was joking with Matt & Andrea- that I was pretty sure that my blue fingers, had the beginnings of hypothermia after nearly two hours in cold today!)

It was worth it tho- we got some fun family shots for both Shawn & her boys and Matt & Andrea and their boys.

Do Over!

Yippeee!!!! I love, love, love the colors of fall! I also love a do-over- a fresh start, a clean slate....

I know- you are thinking, 'what the heck is she talking about here?'.... but I needed a 'do-over'.

I shot with this family a couple of weeks ago- and I just wasn't happy with what we shot- they are a beautiful family- and I just didn't feel like I had done them justice..... when I shoot photos for someone- I want for them to love their photos from me- and love/like me.. so I couldn't let that first shoot be the only impression these folks had of me. :) I know, I know- I'm a neurotic weirdo- but it is what it is! The irony in this whole tale- is that we had way too much light before- and we were dodging mud puddles and rain drops yesterday- but we still managed some silliness and funny faces as we danced in the rain!

I especially appreciate this family taking time to meet with me again- in the face of some devastating news at the end of last week for them. Think good thoughts for them- (Tony's mother was diagnosed with cancer)....... and I'm sure that they could use your positive energy. I love the first old skool image- looks like a tough defense, huh?
