My favorite season is fall.  I love the cool, crispy air, the leaves turning various colors, long walks with the sun shining and a Starbucks in hand.  Fall is undoubtedly my favorite time of year.  I met this family down at Roberts Creek Beach to capture family photographs.

Ever since having my own little boy, I have a special place in my heart for little men.  

And this one is no exception.  He was a little camera shy at first, but slowly warmed up to me. :)

One of my favorites.

Love this one too.

:: Davis Bay Baby ::

This little dude has the best hair and the best facial expressions that I've seen on a baby in a LONG time!

A very cold day in Davis Bay but "Baby L" did amazing - even enduring an outfit change with a smile!  I have to stay, I love when people bring a change of clothes! :)

The rain started pouring down approximately 30 seconds after this photo shoot ended.

:: Noah - Take #2::

This cutie is the first person to make a second appearance on my photography blog.  For his first birthday, his parents dressed him up in a little tuxedo and we headed into Cliff Gilker Park.  Noah wasn't sure what to make of the bright birthday balloons, especially when we tied them to his wrist.  Poor guy got a taste of the things I'll resort to for a good photo opportunity.  Noah was a lot harder to catch than at his 6-month photo shoot, having recently mastered walking... and sometimes running! 

Look at those big blue eyes!

Love his expression.

My favorite photo of the day.  

Noah temporarily forgot the balloons were tied to him.

:: Baby Noah ::

I could tell from the moment I met this family that Baby Noah was completely adored and showered with love on a daily, hourly, minutely basis.  He was so sweet-natured and content throughout the shoot.  He seemed fascinated with my camera, which definitely made it a lot easier.  Sometimes it can be tricky to get little ones to look at the camera, but Baby Noah wouldn't look away.  *Perfect!* 

He was such a little trooper at his 6-month photo shoot, even though it was a chilly autumn day.  

Only a few rocks were consumed during this photo shoot at the beach. :)

What I loved most about Leah & Tyler's ocean side wedding was that it was completely their own.  They celebrated their friendship, their love, their relationship by honoring their individuality and uniqueness.  The little details were amazing and I love how Leah & her maid of honor crafted the centrepieces, the garden decor and the beach front.  It was an amazing day.

My photo shoot with Marina and Corban was packed full of laughter and energy and adventure!  These two are the classic older sister and younger brother and everything that implies.  It reminded me of my childhood with my brothers.

They live on amazing piece of property - a beach front home with a hobby farm right next door.  Does it get any better than that?!

For most of the shoot, I was literally running behind these two, trying to keep up.

It was the perfect, overcast day and we headed down to the beach to explore.

I absolutely love this picture... being the older mischievous sister, Marian had just nibbled (read: bitten) Corban's ear.  This moment is immediately afterwards, as Marian looks at her mom and knows she got busted.  I can totally relate to this little girl.  I don't even want to know the number of times I torture my brothers in a similar fashion. :)
