The Tetfords

I've been so lucky with the weather this season and I am having a blast meeting  new people, as well as, reconnecting with old friends!!  This was my second session last Sunday and our NL weather held its own for the most part! We did have a little shower but nothing to halt production! 

The Tetford family showed up excited for some shooting fun!  Embracing the versatility of Bowring park lately, I headed in a different direction and sought out some new ground.  This sweet family were ready and willing to make a stop here and there as we enjoyed a lovely afternoon in the park. 

I love when an idea comes on the fly.  Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't but you always have fun trying. :)

Jakoba & Rijke

Last Sunday was another of those questionable days and I wondered if it would rain or not.  It did, but not for long thankfully.  After the rain the colors of the leaves just popped and were even more beautiful.  The other two beauties that day were Jakoba and Rijke.  These two gorgeous Keeshonds are the pride and joy of a great couple Lynn and John.  They (Lynn) wanted some family photos for the upcoming holiday season and Bowring park was yet again a great backdrop for this session.  These girls were so well behaved and friendly and are quite a stunning breed.  So, we took a walk in the park, had some fun, and I think accomplished our goal.

Double the fun!

Fun, fall and another set of fabulous twins!!!  These cuties were very accommodating pending they had a few little small colorful enticements...aka smarties!!  Their mom thought of everything!!  From a cute little pumpkin prop to a gorgeous sweater set made by their nan.   The weather held up for us, the wind stayed low and I, of course, was lower than a snake's belly capturing these awesome little dudes!  One little fellow had a particular fascination with one red camera bag, so I captured that too!!  Check out the these adorable boys!!



It seems this little guy was attracted to my bright red Camera bag!!!  Tee hee!!



The Cadigan Family

These Little Hands

"These little hands can wave hello

Or put smudges on the wall.

They can fold in prayer, throw a kiss,

Or reach up and say "So tall!"

They will clasp your hand for an autumn stroll,

Or shape a dinosaur from clay,

But most of all, they will stay with you

When grown and far away."

I am always amazed at little children! They are tiny little humans and it just really amazes me!!  They are ever wondrous, ever exploring, curious about all we take for granted.  They learn so much by touch and feel and sadly, tasting too...lol. They melt your heart with a smile and sometimes just need to hold your hand.  The simplest things are what makes them feel safe-food, a hug, a bedtime story and sometimes to just know you are in the room.  I am so fortunate to meet so many cute and curious little people on my journey of photography.  I love to capture them exploring, having fun and interacting with things all around them.  On Sunday past, as the fog receded for a few hours, I managed to meet up with the Cadigans and do their family photos.  Check out the cute little person I met this time.

The Lake family

Fall is a beautiful time of year with its rich and vibrant colors.  Even though winter is just around the corner, fall's beauty surrounds us every day as leaves change colors before our eyes and become forest jewels.  Saturday was no exception and I couldn't have asked for a more glorious day.  It was warm and sunny and I met up with a family at the ever beautiful, Manuel's river. 

Hurricane Igor, unfortunately, did a fair share of damage to the lower trail but the upper trail was in pretty good condition.  We came across some fallen trees but it was not damaged too badly.

I met up with Chris, his wife and children to take some photos.  My husband and Chris work together and although I hadn't met him, I heard lots about him!   This great family were so sweet, I immediately found myself at ease with the whole gang!!  We had a lot of fun and had a great nature walk as well.  I had never been to the end of the trail and it was a treat!!  If you ever get a chance you should definitely check it out.

When I look through some of these photos it reminds me of the story Hansel and Gretel as the children make they way through the forest to find the cottage made of sugary treats.

So, the day was a great success and I made some new friends, which is always a bonus!!
