The Auch Family

After we shot a newborn session with the Auchs, we went back to their house a couple weeks later to get some family photos. It sorta turned into the Ashtyn session, if only because she is just too cute and Kory and I couldn't stop taking photos of her. :)

See, isn't she cute?

I like this photo of Justin laughing at Ashtyn ::

Pumpkin carving

Another birthday celebration activity :: pumpkin carving. I really like carving pumpkins ... there's something messy and creative about it that I just love. :)

Here is the result of our hard-work. Mine (and Matt's) is the emoticon and Mark's is the skeleton face ::

Claire and Grammie checking out the pumpkin guts ::

Ha! Megan was so scared of the pumpkin guts at first ::

But after she touched it, she was all smiles ::

Megan mostly painted a pumpkin ... but kept an eye on all the pumpkin goo ::

Claire was being Claire ::

Eating that birthday cupcake (Strawberry cupcakes with chocolate frosting!) ::

Happy Birthday Megan!

Megan, my favorite little girl, turned four today!

I've been taking photos of Megan for over four years ... even when she was in her mom's belly :) It's amazing to watch her grow up. She's such a smart, sassy, fun little girl :)

Here she is, blowing out the candles on her birthday cupcakes ::

And here she is, at about four months old ::

Today I also had a fun session with Mallari and Steven. Here's a quick sneak peek from their engagement shoot ::

Fall

I had my first weekend off since July and spent a bit of time at the lake. The fall colors are beautiful right now!

We went down to the dock the night we arrived and saw some beautiful Northern Lights ::

What's a lake experience without a little fire?

The real attraction was the leaves ::

And a bridge ::

My favorite leaf shot ::

Sorta-related side note ::
At the lake we took some Schill family photos, and my oh my is Claire cute. Claire is wearing "big girl" underwear now and to get her to smile I asked her what she was wearing. She stood up, turned around, showed me her butt and said, "underwear." Cutest. Thing. Ever.
