i really consider myself lucky to be able to capture people everyday, but i am even luckier when i get to capture a new life.  this little life came from my oldest sister, Michele, whom i've always shared a close and special bond with.   i am sure that this little girl was secretly dreamed of and will be loved way too much :)

or at least, that's how we say it :)
Jenni and Regan hosted the best-ever pumpkin carving night at their house, complete with homemade soups (thanks, Ashley for the delicious corn chowder), bread, salad, and lemonade with (1) big frozen hand in it!
The kids and I searched all over town for pumpkins and we soon found out that we were some of the last ones on earth to buy pumpkins this year. We all got doughnuts instead :) and then headed to Hill HIgh Orchard and alas, they had some!!
Jaxon was kind enough to take a few pics of me and Izzy while Olivia complained about her mom-with-a-camera. ha ha.

And of course, there is a LITTLE bit of skateboarding mixed in with all of this.  Always time for some of that!!!
Thanks Jenni and Regan for such a fun night!!!
