A little break } shooting for me

I'm barely keeping my head above the water.
I LOVE my job, but I'm counting down the days to my last session of November.

Then I'll get caught up on editing, and enjoy a little breather.

I'm shooting a ton of beautiful families, children and seniors.

Editing hundreds upon hundreds of images.

Trying to keep up with sessions, holiday card designs, print orders,
Facebook {peeks} for patiently waiting clients and blogging.

I had a day "off" on Saturday!

No sessions scheduled. I thought maybe we could go hang out in Wichita.

Do a little Christmas shopping and go out to dinner.

Then Justin was invited on a hunting trip for the day.

So, I called up my nieces, and invited them out for a FALL photo shoot with Barrett and I!
Yep, even on my "day off"... I wanted to shoot!

This time though....I was shooting for me. Just for fun. Just because.
I even did a little landscape shooting, which I don't get to do nearly enough.

I did some quick edits on these, since I have other stuff I'm working on.
Here are some of my favorites...

 

I got a little teary-eyed while editing these. Thinking about how much Barrett loves his cousins. We're so lucky to have them just a few blocks away. They get to see each other a lot, and they are all so sweet to each other. Kylie and Emily are great girls, and they are such wonderful examples for my little man. He's years younger than them, but I can just imagine when they're all young adults, that he will be very protective of his girl cousins =)

My older brother just moved back to Kansas! So I look forward to Barrett spending more time with his cousins, Emma, Lauren and Jones too! They moved right after he was born, and we've only seen them a handful of times since then. It is so nice to have them back in the same state, so we can see them much more often!

Happy FALL!

Enjoy the last few days of color, before the cold of winter sets in.
