A + H = CUTE!!!

It's true.

These two are adorable and I'm lucky enough to call them my friends.  

So we had scheduled to go get pics done.  However...ominous clouds started appearing and we were so worried we would have to cancel.

We started driving to where I had planned to do the pictures...and it started hailing.

Hmmm...I quickly decided we needed a plan B.

Problem is, I get a vision of shoots in my head and I just KNEW what I had planned for this shoot!  And it wasn't urban...it was fall leaves.

Especially since her cardigan was mustard yellow.

There was no way I was leaving the beautiful fall colors. 

So we drove and as soon as we were out of the rain/hail...I started looking for a place just off the side of the road in the canyon.

We found one.

And I will be forever grateful for beautiful fall colors.

My vision was fulfilled...and I think you can see why I refused to budge from my beautiful fall shoot...

I LOVE Birth Stories...

Seriously...LOVE.

Here is my brother and sister-in-law and my one and only nephew.

There is something about watching your little brother become a dad...I can't describe it really.

It was almost maternal when I saw him holding his sweet baby.

He wasn't able to watch baby be born, or get his first bath, or be weighed because of an emergency C-section but as soon as I saw him look at that sweet little boy...there was not a doubt in my mind that he's going to be a great dad.

Births are so wonderful and so miraculous and even though sometimes things can get completely unpredictable and even scary for a minute...they're still my favorite.

I think these pictures show all the emotion we all felt.
