The B Family: Lifestyle Session

Here is another session I did while at Ellie Be's workshop in September. It was my first lifestyle session and I loved every second! It pushed me in ways I hadn't expected and I'm so glad I got a chance to try out the style. 

This family was beautiful. The kids were so cute and the love their parents share was gentle and so evident. Suffice to say, they were wonderful to photograph.

We Cut Down Our Christmas Tree

There isn't a year I can remember that we haven't cut down our own Christmas tree. It's a tradition that I treasure and look forward to every year. We always get bagels before we head up to the mountains, and we always get a pictures with both Santa and Smokey the Bear before we leave. Sometimes there's snow and we're bundled up in coats and boots and gloves, other years we have jackets and hiking boots. This year it was warmer than I think I remember it ever being, but it was still wonderful and we got one of the most beautiful trees we've had.
