Fall Maternity

I just couldn't pass up the fall colors this week in my front yard. I asked 4 brave women it they would pose for me in all their beautiful, pregnant glory, just so that I could satisfy a creative urge.
This "creative urge" that I get (pretty often) is almost as bad as my sweet tooth!
Here's a sampling of the portraits we created.

Fall Leaves are here!

My 2 big Maple trees are at their Fall peak right now. So, I thought it would be fun to have a spontaneous portrait day for anyone wanting to show up.
Tomorrow, the 22nd, 1-3 & 4-6
This will be a good test to see how many people are truly spontaneous on Vashon Island.
Plus, this is a great way to get that perfect image for your holiday cards, or start your holiday shopping.

Fall Harvest

Today was the perfect Fall day with the warm sun and a breeze with a hint of fall's brisk temperatures. Yeah! Sweater and boots season is here! (I'm trying to feel optimistic about the state of our country, economy, the bailout. Take your pick!).
Fall makes me feel like getting back to basics, hunkering down for the winter and settling in for long cozy nights with a bowl of homemade soup fresh from the garden. Our garden didn't do so well this summer, but we were able to eek out enough produce to keep us busy. Tonight was one of our last harvests before we plant a cover crop and winter vegetables.
I just had to share some of what we picked for dinner. Fresh, homegrown food is so pretty.

Hello Fall, Goodbye Summer

So, I missed the last 2 days, but I have a good excuse! My family and I decided to take advantage of a free weekend, low tides on the coast and the last few days of summer.
We went backpacking on the coast out by La Push, Wa. It's a trip we try to do every year. This was our daughter, Nora's first backpacking trip, so we didn't make her carry anything (she's only 3).

It was a great way to say goodbye to Summer and Hello! to Fall.

Thinking of Fall...Don't forget to schedule your family portrait before the Holidays sneak up on us. The fall colors and gray days on the beach make a beautiful backdrop for a stunning family portrait.
