Fall Photo Shoot

     My favorite time of year to do photo shoots is Fall! No matter the weather it will still be a beautiful shoot. If it’s blue skies and sunny, the contrast of the colors will be spectacular. If it’s grey and rainy, the colors will be enhanced by the contrast with the grey sky and the wetness of the leaves so it’s also stunning. Plus you don’t have to worry about shadows messing up the pictures.

 Both are just as interesting and vibrant.

 Fall is also my favorite season, which makes it even more fun for me!

 Regardless of the season or circumstance, it was an absolute joy to do a shoot with this beautiful family!

Whoops! 

You gotta love improv-ing leaves as a towel to clean up a little baby mess! ;)

Such a natural!

The more I look at her face, the more it cracks me up! Little joy!

This family is such a blessing in my life.

Thank you!

Charlevoix The Beautiful

My family and I vacation

here every year. It's one of those 

towns you can walk around for hours 

just taking pictures of the sites.

 And I love to do just that!

 The following pictures are the

 ones I took this year while there. 

This is the view from the drawbridge over the channel in Charlevoix.

This is a croquette set in Bayveiw.

Pink furniture and flowers planted in a pink tub...who does that! :) 

Such a fun thing to put on the walls in a candy shop!

THE place to be at night in Charlevoix. ;)

Quiet streets.

And I say again... 

Charleviox The Beautiful!

~Spontaneous photo shoot~

  on the streets of Charleviox!

Goodness, you never know when a perfect photo shoot opportunity will happen! I didn't set out to take a photo shoot today nor did Eleanna dress for one. We were just walking the streets of the beautiful Charlevoix. Of course we had to stop for coffee at Johann's Cafe. As we sat there, talking and people watching, I realized the setting and lighting were perfect! And of course, because Eleanna is a fabulous model, she switch right into model mode. All of these were taken today, spur of the moment. I did editing on only one of them. The rest have no editing.

Here's how they turned out!

And we had LOTS of 

fun doing it too!

**Thank you and major props to Eleanna for being my model! I love working with you!**  

Surprise visits... Photo opt!

Warning: Your adorableness might end up on my blog.

My sister Hannah stops by our house through out the week for any number of reasons. It's so great she lives close by and can do that!  The other day when she came over it was such a gorgeous day, plus our rose bushed were in full bloom, so we decided to go outside in the garden...


How could I resist?!

Guess who I found hiding in the tomato plant?

 Meet Mr. Flog.

It was such a fun afternoon full of beauty, laughter and spontaneous photography.

 It was a good, good day!
