The Littlest "C"

We decided to do a spur of the moment photo shoot of this cute little 6 month old... she was quite serious for most of it, but adorable nonetheless.

And her big brother -- who gave me exactly 22 seconds of his time :)

Girls' Camp Fundraiser

To raise money for Girls' Camp, our YW worked hard on a dinner, show, and dessert auction. We also did quick photo sessions before the dinner. The night was pretty successful with us raising right around $800.
Here are a few of the pics that resulted from the evening.

as promised

Man, this engagement makes me face the harsh reality of my age. :(
But YAY and CONGRATS for them! :)

Mark and Jessica

It was a lot of fun to get to go down to Arches National Park and take engagements photos of my lil bro and his fiance. Even with 80 degree temps, wind and long hikes inbetween picture times, Jessica managed to still look beautiful.
I have more to add to these tonight, but I thought I would get the few I have done on here.

Dust is Home!

It was so much fun to spend some time with this crew, and get to see the whole family together again. The downside was that the day we had available to do pictures, it was raining. So all the great ideas and plans for a photoshoot were turned into a quick shoot on the back patio. At least they are all in there...and I have a feeling I'll get a chance to take pics of them again. :)

Family

Last year when we took pictures, it was below zero...this time it was much nicer outside. :)

A quick peek at some cute little boys...

3 soon to be 4...

This cute family of three was fun to hang out with...even if the little one didn't like to make eye contact with me for long. :) I loved how he showed his concentration with his tongue.

Halloween Goodies

With a new baby only weeks away, I decided not to sign up to do craft shows this year, and I also opted to go easy on the nesting doll painting. However, I couldn't resist signing up to use the Creative Arts Council's booth at the farmers market just once. Like last year, I ended up with the final day of the market -- Oct. 9th.

I tried to convince myself to just use what I had leftover from last year, but the most enjoyable part for me is coming up with new designs... so I went ahead with a few simple ideas.

Hollow Halloween Eggs with a Surprise Inside

And... a whole bunch of Halloween candy wraps. The bats and mummies in the red bowl I saw somewhere else and thought they would be fun to make. The rest are all my own designs and artwork.

Vampire with Cape

Open the cape to see the message

Ghosts mints with stretchy gloves hat

Large candy bar Witches with glove hats

I am pretty sure I went a bit overboard for a one day show... but at least I had fun right?

Besides this one farmers market I am planning on taking a few custom gift orders this year.
