Family Portraits at the Farm

Oh Baby!

One of the best things about doing what I do is that I get to take pictures of friends and their families. 

It is such a personal experience that I love to be a part of.

Autumn Spledor

My favorite time of year is nearing end.

It is sad when Halloween is over and October is but a memory.

I feel I missed some traditions this year but I managed to fit in a few things I have been wanting to do that I usually don't get to.

Visited Netherworld (was awesome).

I finally made it to the Little 5 points Halloween festival and thanks to the Rome Rollergirls I got to ride on a float too!

 I did not get to go to a pumpkin patch or even carve a pumpkin.

We did paint the small pumpkin Brody got from his class field trip to the pumpkin patch.

 I still have not visited AZA as planned.

And sadly only a very short hike was made so far this fall.

I did make pumpkin soup for the first time.

I did get to spend time with close friends.

I did attend my annual Halloween Bash.

I just wish October had 8 weekends in it.

Fall Family Portraits in Full Swing

Poole Family Portraits

I have known Monica and Donnie for 9 1/2 years and recently had the pleasure of taking their family portraits. This is a family truly filled with love.

Falling Leaves

 To Autumn by William Blake

O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stain'd

With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit

Beneath my shady roof; there thou may'st rest,

And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,

And all the daughters of the year shall dance!

Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.

'The narrow bud opens her beauties to

The sun, and love runs in her thrilling veins;

Blossoms hang round the brows of Morning, and

Flourish down the bright cheek of modest Eve,

Till clust'ring Summer breaks forth into singing,

And feather'd clouds strew flowers round her head.

'The spirits of the air live in the smells

Of fruit; and Joy, with pinions light, roves round

The gardens, or sits singing in the trees.'

Thus sang the jolly Autumn as he sat,

Then rose, girded himself, and o'er the bleak

Hills fled from our sight; but left his golden load.

The Annual Cabbagetown Chilli Cook off

We missed out on the Chilli, as you have to get there at 10 am to even think about tasting any. We did however get to see some friends, some great local artists and listen to some local blue grass and indie bands.

Will be back again next year (and get there early enough for some chilli!)
