I call this day the last of the good days for 2012. It was last week of October and a beautiful 78 degrees. Summer temps combined with fall surroundings make for one pretty awesome setup. Thanks Hughes family…so fun to play with you again!
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, the temps did drop TWENTY degrees the following day.
Winter is lame.
Let’s take a moment to pay homage to their awesome fashion sense. And the fact that I got him to hold still for 2.15 seconds for this shot :)
All I can say is…where can I get one JUST. LIKE. HIM.
Love this little guy…
I’m not sure if there is anything more beautiful than a Michigan fall combined with sunshine. Add in a few giggles and some blonde hair, and it just might be perfect :)
I ADORE mama and daughter on the left…
Love these cuties.
We giggled…
Giggled some more…
We hulu hooped…
And golfed…
Played by the water…
And sat under the most brilliant tree I have ever seen. And yes, it was that color in real life (zero color enhancement)!
She says it’s like Christmas to get her pictures taken every year. I say it’s like Christmas to see what she comes up with each year. First it was barns and fashionable hats. Next, it was polar bears and giraffes. Then it was merry go rounds and cotton candy. This year, it is plaid and corn fields. I love the fun we have and I love this family so much :)
It’s not the location, it’s not the props…it’s all about the love.
When deciding on our location, I get an email from mom…”I’ve thought about it and I’d like to do our pictures here at home. It’s not sexy, but I want REAL pictures. I don’t often sport heeled boots with clean manicured kids while hiking through a beautiful forest. I’d like “in our element” pics.”
Perfectly said, mom.
Sometimes you don’t need the fancy, you just need the REAL.
This post has been sitting on my computer for a few days now. I have been at a loss of words to fully describe the one friend who has been with me since birth. We were born and raised as next door neighbors and have been best friends ever since. We played Barbies together, rode bikes together, played soccer together. We did everything together. There are many times when our separate lives in separate states are very busy and we don’t talk. But, it doesn’t matter, because when we are together and when we do talk, it’s like we were never apart. I am blessed and extremely grateful for her love, support, and friendship through the years.
And THEN you add Bryan to the mix. Bryan and I were good friends before the two of them decided to fall in love, get married, and give the world four beautiful babies. So, I get a double bonus in this relationship and I love the entire famdamily dearly!!!!
These were taken while we were visiting in Utah this summer. Just an evening on the lake, hanging with my besties, and their pretty red boat :)
