The Nickel Family

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day for pictures. There's something about the autumn light that is very different than summer - it has much more depth and interesting qualities. If you can bundle up and brave the cooler temperatures, the results can be amazing. This beautiful family was a joy to photograph. I love their playful attitudes and love for eachother. That comes out in their photos.

Model Mommy

My sister (who is expecting at the end of February) came to visit last week! We were so busy having fun that we forgot to do an "official" photo shoot! We ended up taking a few impromptu photos the day she was leaving. I am planning to give her a full out maternity shoot when we go visit at Christmas. Her belly will be much bigger then. ;)
