September. Back to School. Preparing for Carter’s birthday. Busy season in photography. New activities start up! It has been a jam packed month of all sorts of firsts. I got a new camera (and used my favorite family member test subjects). I took photos at Stage Door Preschool of the Arts and AGAIN I used my guinea pigs, er, my kids as test subjects.

I’m LOVING being the mom of an elementary schooler. So, I love all of my children for all of their gifts, and all of their challenges. And I love capturing their personalities in the “now”.

Laney helped me test it indoors (these are NOT portraits, but I dare you not to smile at her with her “I just pulled out my pigtails” hair).
Next up is my kids helping me test my set up for the preschool photos I took! They turned out great (both with my kids and the students of Stage Door Preschool
Now, don’t stop here! Keep drinking that cup of coffee and head on over to my dear friend Kimberly of Fanciful Photography! (and then click through to the rest of the lovely ladies work!)
