Heather, Aronn, & Alexis {Plus 1}

My sister and her family are expecting a little one around Christmas.  I'm very excited to be an aunt again.  I spent a beautiful fall afternoon with them capturing this special time in their lives.  Many baby pictures to come as soon as he or she arrives. =)  

Michelle, Ric, Spencer, Luke, Bekken, and Gabe

It's been a lot of years since this family had their pictures taken together, but thanks to a gift certificate from a friend we were able to change that a few weeks ago.  We met on one of many beautiful falls days that we've had at Memorial Union.  It was fun for me to get to know this family better.  It's clear they enjoy their time together.  

 

 

Happy Halloween!

I got to meet this cute little pumpkin a little while ago.  I'm looking forward to sharing more of her story with you in a couple of weeks, but for today simply enjoy her beautiful smile.  Happy Halloween!

Kirs, Scott, Noah, Will, and Weston {Family Fun}

Noah, Will, and Weston are adorable little boys with tons of energy.  They keep Kris and Scott on their toes.  The boys were super excited to show me around the property for their new house.  It's an amazing place to raise a family!

 

The Labrador Connection {Fall Frolic}

I recently got to work with The Labrador Connection rescue group for their Fall Frolic fundraiser. TLC is an all volunteer network dedicated to the re-homing of unwanted and  abandoned Labrador retrievers into loving, forever permanent homes.  I had a great day getting to know a few of their foster dogs, alumni, and friends.

Here are a few of their dogs who are currently looking for their forever homes.

Liv {3 years old}

I love photo shoots on beautiful fall days!  I was lucky enough to spend a gorgeous morning with this great family.  Liv was absolutely adorable at Olbrich Botanical Garden.  She had fun exploring the wonderful gardens and playing in the fountains and ponds.

Apple-Azing Race {Amazing}

 Meet a few of the Apple-Azing Race teams.  

Some of the others were so fast I couldn't catch them on camera, 

including the winning team.

 At Sassy Cow Creamery, teams ate a scoop of 

delicious vanilla ice cream, without using their hands.

 Teams dashed through the corn maze at Creek Bed Country Farmacy 

to find the hidden clue box.  Then they dug through the corn sensory table

and slide down a 40 foot slide.

 On your marks, get set, go! Teams decorated 6 yummy apple cider donuts according 

to the samples and then had to eat all 6 as fast as possible.

 For this task teams had to build a scarecrow.  These cute guys are for sale. 

Contact Kim if you're interested.

 Because the race was a fundraiser for the Poynette Public Library, 

it was only fitting that teams had to demonstrate their alphabetizing skills by 

putting 30 books in the correct order.

This task was awesome!  Teams had to climb through the tractor tire jungle gym, 
run across the balance beam, tiptoe through the tires, climb across the bars,
 go up and down the ladders, and lastly balance an egg on a spoon while 
they raced their way across the finish line.

 Yummy!  Teams used a 150 year old apple press to make fresh cider.  

It was amazingly delicious, but a lot of work!

Lastly, teams had to assemble a wine press 

so they could pop a few water balloons in the bottom.

This task was courtesy of Rock N' Wool Winery (opening summer 2013).
