Holy cow, look who made it out for some live music this weekend! It was loud and raucous and fun and exhausting. I don't know if this photo conveys that or not, but overall, I am so happy that we were able to get out and see some rock'n'roll. Even if we did have to stop at Starbucks on our way to the club for some espresso since we head to bed around 10 pm these days and are boring old sods. Except for the nights we head out to see a fantastic band and act like we never had children. Oh, those are the nights.This is Beach Slang. And if you'd like to see more images, you can see them here.And today is Halloween! I'm hosting a photo booth in my studio this afternoon, which I'm balancing with a crazy toddler staying home all day. Ezra had a massive fever Saturday night and Sunday (no other symptoms though...) and our daycare has rules about keeping the kid home 24 hours after the fever breaks. So today ought to be interesting. I also would like to point out that Ezra has been sick this year on Christmas weekend, Valentine's weekend, his birthday weekend and now Halloween weekend. This kid is a constant party, I tell you.If you're coming to the shoot, do not fear. I have someone watching Ezra, and he won't contaminate your children, I promise.Anyway, here's hoping you guys all have a wonderful hallow's eve!
Yesterday morning I got to have tea with this little munchkin! Isn't he cute? He's chomping on his maraca from Mexico, and those eyes are just amazing. I can't wait to see this one grow up!His mother and I try to get together once or twice a month for walks, coffee and family updates. This morning we walked up to Rose Street Patisserie for provisions, and then shopped a bit at Wild Rumpus, where I found 
This is Mabel, and she is the most gentle, most timid sweetheart in the world. I photographed 
In case I haven't mentioned it, I've been slammed with family photo shoots these last few weeks. And I'm gonna be honest, it has been super fun! Because the fall color is out of this world right now!So, if you are reading this and you are a client of mine, might I suggest that you book your session for 2017 between Oct. 10 and Oct. 25? I feel like this is the peak of color, and I'll also tell you that several clients have already done this, so you wouldn't be alone in nabbing up the prime dates for your holiday cards.

I had a shoot around sunrise yesterday morning down at the river, and I got there 15 minutes before my clients. So I poked around and took some photos of how pretty it was down there at that hour. What a city I live in.And while I've shot in this location many times at sunset, it was way better at sunrise.

This weekend was lovely in that the weather was fantastic enough to where we spent the days outside wrapped up in layers, playing in the sunshine, and the evenings sitting by fires, sipping tea and reading. We also went to the zoo, had our own family photo session, went out for breakfast, raked leaves and watched 
Thursday morning I had a session with a 20-month old, and after playing in the leaves, we wandered into the woods and just look who was waiting for us! Hello, cutie!
