ashton + avery | brothers

Ashton and Avery... how cute are they? I've known their dad since college, and we've been going back and forth for awhile trying to get some time on the calendar. I'm glad we did and the weather couldn't have been more cooperative. It's really been a bonus having these two extra amazing weeks of weather in late October. Anyway... here are a few shots of our time at the park in Carmel. I dig these two kids.

sam + austin | the winner is...

Last November, the Sgroi family won me (well, my photography services) at the St. Christopher auction. We've been playing schedule tag for most of the fall, but we finally got our act together and I headed out to their great new house for some fall photos. The leaves couldn't have been prettier and they had the perfect spot for photos. Here are a few teasers...

lawson | rock and roll newborn

My dear friend Bree (+Jason) has a lovely new baby named Lawson. I've been dying to get my grubby little hands on this one! He is just precious. He is just lovely, and his demeanor is perfect. I spent a little time at their house getting a few photos.

First of all, Lawson has a rock and roll nursery... pretty cool, no?






So relaxed, this kid.






A little pumpkin...






And a little Santa action a few months early!

baby louise | maternity pics

Meet my friends, Jocelyn and Kevin. I've known them from the moment they met and it's been an interesting road to this maternity shoot. What a wild ride! They were married last fall and were so ready to have a baby. I love that Kevin is having a daughter... and I am in LOVE with the name. It was a pleasure to shoot these two (and a half) and can't wait to meet Miss Lou come December. Here are just a few. xoxox.

i lied + drive shaft + uncle jesse

I might be blogging more than 2x per week this week. In other words, I lied. I'm behind on blogging and I'm heading out of town next week, so I'm going to go ahead and post 'em when they're ready. After that, we'll be back on track. Please and thank you.

Also, my friend Joe Ball sent me a link to these two posters today, featuring the best not-real TV bands of all time. This has helped make my world a better place.

Happy weekending.
