apple orchard smiles

Hereโ€™s a little peek in my afternoon with Holly, Nate and Evan at the orchard last week. Look at this sweet little punkin! I love this photo. Itโ€™s like snips and snails meets a fairy tale. (Did that make any sense? You know, with his little cap on backwards and the sweet curiosity of a…

    Betsy this family is adorable! I love love love his hat- and especially the one of him being pulled in the wagon!

  • HollySeptember 27, 2009 - 3:44 am

    Woooooo hooo Betsy! You got these up sooo quick. Thank you! The curiosity was killing the cat over here. I can’t stop looking at them–especially Evan in his wagon. How adorable! I can’t wait to see more! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • samanthaSeptember 27, 2009 - 1:06 pm

    Aw these are great! I love the one of Evan being pulling in the wagon. So cute!

    Betsy, you did SUCH a wonderful job! Knowing Nate from high school, it’s so great to see that bazillion watt smile hasn’t changed in the slightest ๐Ÿ™‚

    And that’s the HIMYM episode where the glass shatters, right? I LOVE that episode! Anytime Marshall sings is a good one — I think I might have to rewatch it now thanks to you! Have you gotten to the Intervention episode yet? That’s another classic! Oooh – and have you gotten to the one where Barney runs the marathon?

  • michele bowmanSeptember 29, 2009 - 1:41 pm

    i am partial to the photo of the little cutie being pulled in the wagon! awesome ๐Ÿ™‚

  • LisaSeptember 29, 2009 - 6:58 pm

    If this family wasn’t related to me, I’d want them to be!! They are just so adorable and fun. Ok, so I’m partial. I’m Holly’s mom! But you captured the true essence of this beautiful family. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos! ๐Ÿ™‚

You may have heard me talk about one of my favorite coffee shops, the Mocha Lounge. I have taken photos there for fun at times and since itโ€™s just down the road from me, itโ€™s my pit stop on mannnny occasions, including days I just can barely get myself to the grocery store. The owners…

    That’s really awesome that they are working through their grief in such a cool way. What a tribute to Amanda.

    On an unrelated note… I shot my first senior session today. I just have to say the biggest thank you to YOU. Of all the photogs I’ve found in the senior genre YOU are #1 on my list. Before my session this AM I was feeling a wee bit of nerves so I hopped over here to your blog for a little Betsy-inspiration and it was just what I needed! ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for sharing your sessions on the blog and for having such an amazing eye. It’s always inspiring to come here.
