huron natural area - class trip

emery's class went on a field trip yesterday. 

it was fun, really well run and a tad chilly!

this is the part of the hike when emery noticed the canopy of trees

and declared it the perfect spot for a photo.

(proud mommy moment)

i told her she didn't need to pose so much,

she said she wanted to!

alright - click!

my sweet girlie girl...  love her.

family of three

i spent a morning at waterloo park 

with such a lovely family:

tasha, mark and logan.

tasha and mark are calm and kind,

and they love their little boy like crazy.

(it's so clear in these photos)

logan is a shy little guy who stole my heart!

i almost fell over laughing when i heard his 

surprisingly loud choo-choo sounds!

and he even blew me a kiss when we were saying goodbye.

 

though the weather was a little cold and dreary,

it was a bright and cheerful morning for me because i got to  

spend it with such a beautiful family...  

the beach (in october)

we spent an hour or so at the beach yesterday.

yes, it's october and people were swimming,

and yes, we're in ontario...

it was amazing!

 jude and i were able to head back to the beach after dinner for the sunset...

live and learn

i did a photo shoot yesterday with baby evan.  

the place was incredible and i was so excited to get started.  

i made a mistake though.  i didn't adjust my settings before snapping away.  

the result - some really fun photos, but not the quality i was hoping for.  

good thing i was working with family!

i'll post a few anyway, because we had so much fun.

thanks for being so understanding beth.  

looking forward to getting back there with you soon.
