2012 - K/W/P fall photos

One Saturday in November, I had a full day of photo activities.

A family session and then an engagement session.

A train depot set the stage for the family to meet.

(I have wanted my family to take photos there, but it hasn't worked out yet.

So, I recommended it for this shoot.)

I loved it!

The whole crowd -

 grandchildren and great-grandchildren 

for surprise Christmas presents for their grandmother.

Then to just the cousins -

Loving the scrabble pieces -

and that the cousins are ALL girls! =)

The next generation adds an even mix for now - 3 boys and 3 girls.

The "K and W" crew in the next set -

On to the first "P" set of girls:

And the second "P" set of girls:

( Their gangsta "Al Capone" pose - had to include because I love

the candid, crazy moments in addition to the formal, poised photos.)

The photo above is one of my favorites for the day -

 the lighting, the focus, a direct look into the camera, the color,

and a pretty girl smiling. :)

And that wraps up another photo session recap...

Loved this graphic from a blog I browsed through...

I have quite a few reminders of my Clemson days around all the time - 

even down to the email address I use everyday.

 I'm a "CU" girl. =)

what I'm working on

too many things to name for what I'm working on right now -

but a major project is finishing the edits from a wedding shoot on 12/29/2012.

ten years

A whole decade.

Levi is ten years old today.

I am feeling much older. ;)
Seriously, the years have zipped by.
My second nephew - born during my senior year of high school.
So yes, that means I am just a few months from the 10 year post graduation mark.
In one sense, that is just a little depressing.
BUT - this chance to live is amazing.
I am so thankful!
And I felt like strolling down memory lane again this year...

From 2003 to 2010 in collage format -

2010 - 7 years old (actual birthday photo)

2011 - 8 years old

2012 - 9 years old

Since these photos were taken about a month ago - it's pretty close to the 10 year old mark.

Happy Birthday Levi -
I love you much!
