Family Photos by Carrie House

I don't know what it is about fall

but it is my most absolute favorite time of year

I get visions of pumpkins, apple cider, wagon rides

cornstalks and beautiful colors all dancing in my head

I want to take long walks

and explore nature

or just sit in a hayfield

& ponder the beauty around me

So when a wonderful friend of ours

offered to take some family photos for us

to help build her portfolio

it was like the stars aligned

and I'm pretty sure before Scott even

finished conveying the message to me

I was jumping up and down saying YES YES YES!!
I even had the perfect spot in mind
It's one of my most favoritest spots in the wide world
and if I ever win the lotto or something crazy like that
I'm building my dream house there

Carrie bought her awesome camera in January

and has been practicing on her adorable son ever since

(who is one of the cutest little guys I have ever seen)

I have only seen a fraction of the pictures

she took of us on that beautiful day

but I'm already completely amazed

Carrie has some talent with a capital T

And she was wonderfully patient with our girls

who had to be repeatedly coaxed

to even get a slip of a smile out of them

and wanted to take a snack break after every 5 minutes

The hardest part will be picking out which ones to print

because they are all my favorites!

There is a ridiculous amount of photos in this post...

sorry but I just couldn't help myself :).

All photo's taken by the talented Carrie House

This next one is my all time absolute favorite
