Adventures at Piedmont Park

Once again, it was probably one of the most perfect fall days- with the exception of a windy day or two, we've had great luck this season! 

I was so glad to have my recent investment, not another lens, but a collapsible red wagon- where I could keep and tote all my stuff.  Priceless!  I definitely needed it- and it's always great when I don't have to do a scavenger hunt for lenses, etc in the grass after a session.

The family arrived with big sister ready to strike a pose (little sis was snoozing in the stroller, having fallen asleep on the way over- doh!)






Little sis had to be woken up and for a while there, she wasn't all smiles (understandably:)


Little sis gearing up for smiles to come:


But then look who decided to perk up afterall!




Ring Around the Rosie- so fun:


Little sis working it- what a cutie:




Running! (I love how mom and dad are taking a break from all the 'fun':)


Climbing trees- a great way to end the day (but the real treat was that the kids got to feed the ducks- pouting pic of big sis ready to feed them not shown :)




We weren't alone in taking advantage of this perfect day. I'm pretty sure there were about 4 or 5 other photographers and families in the same area that day, all having their own Piedmont Park adventure!

Roswell Rules!

Downtown Roswell, GA is a great, historic community with some fantastic restaurants and art galleries.  If you haven't had a chance to explore it, check it out!  I wish I lived a little closer, but glad I have the chance to hang out there once in a while.

I met mom/son duo for an 'urban' session in an out-of-the way area on a cold Sunday morning.  I loved the matching leather jackets- so cute.  Mr. E was a good sport, too!







Showing off his karate moves!



Looking cool in the jacket...



Canoes amidst the downtown leaves...





Thanks for meeting me early on a Sunday morning and introducing me to the fantastic new store, Roswell Provisions!  To warm up and as a reward, I had a fantastic mocha there (I'm pretty sure Mr. E got a couple of delicious baked goods- hard to resist!)  It's basically a dream in there- something else to make sure you check out next time you're in Roswell!

Bright Sunshiny Day

It's not surprising to those who know me- I love fall! It really is my favorite time of year.  I only wish it latest longer!  The colors and cooler temperatures make me almost giddy with my favorite sweater on and my coffee in hand-(and camera in the other :).

I want to savor fall and enjoy this fleeting season. There's nothing much better than sunshine through the leaves and playing in them!

When I visit families' homes, I love to scope out the best areas to photograph. Everywhere I turned on this great day, there was beautiful color (but chocolatey black and white in photographs is nice sometimes too)...





Miss K- such a cutie and a great helper with getting my gear set up!






Now the real fun begins...









A stroll in the backyard after the fun...



It was one of those perfect fall days. I'm so lucky to be able to spend so many of them outside with fun families!
