From the cutest giraffe EVER!

That's how I felt after the first session I had with this family! The wind was blowing so hard that day, and I left feeling horrible not only about the bad weather, but also about the photos that I got. Thankfully, we were able to squeeze in some time this week for a re-shoot, and I'm so glad we did. It was definitely worth it!
Yesterday I quickly stopped into Target to grab a couple of things, and as I walked past the seasonal area I saw a couple aisles of discounted costumes and Halloween candy mixed in with giant light-up snowmen and Santas! I thought, "Good greif, Halloween hasn't even come yet, and there's already Christmas." It does come sooner and sooner every year; doesn't it? I really look forward to the holidays, but seeing that stuff in the stores already kind of made me roll my eyes. And then I remembered this, and I just had to go searching for it…
I'm so excited for all of the upcoming holidays. We've been doing all kinds of fun stuff around our house to prepare for Halloween! Rory is having so much fun with all of it, and it makes me even more excited to see her at Christmas time.
Yesterday, we spent the morning making popcorn balls, which was always a Halloween tradition in my house growing up.
And then of course we ate some popcorn balls!
She's completely goofy 90% of the time. The other 10% is full of independent toddler attitude!
And then that evening we all carved pumpkins together. I'll have to catch a couple photos of the finished ones. Sorry about the yucky color cast on these next ones. It was dark, and it's late tonight so I don't feel like fixing them.
Digging out the guts on her pumpkin. She got it at the pumpkin patch and she is so proud of that thing!
Because I didn't think it was a good idea to give a 2 year old a knife…she painted hers!
And she loved it! With as much paint as she had on there, I was really surprised that it was actually dry this morning.
I'm popping on to give this family a little sneak peek just before I'm out the door for two more sessions. Enjoy!
