I just want to thank you so much for all of your kind comments on my last post! Definitely made my day. This month has been BUSY….I can’t believe we’re already half way through the month! I’ve had 2-3 sessions every week and this past weekend I had a wedding as well. Although it is busy, I am definitely thankful. Truthfully, shooting and taking photos is just a small amount of time compared to behind the scenes kind of stuff. A lot of time goes into emailing, editing, putting blog posts together, not to mention updating my website, facebook page and such. So yep, there is much more that goes into a photography business than just “taking pictures.” :) With all this said, I am a little behind on posting on here. I’m hoping over the next month, I will be able to catch up and post more often than just once or twice a week. I’ve also had some really neat opportunities come up so I am working on those. I will share about them when I can!
Yesterday we were over at my parent’s house and took these few pictures….they have a grove of trees and the colors of the trees right now are beautiful! My family also got a new puppy recently and he blended in so well with the fall colors :) Leland loves crunching the leaves (and tries to eat them!) Ohh, and he is turning ONE in just a couple days! I can’t believe it…so bittersweet. We are also celebrating my sister and mom’s birthday this week….yep, three birthdays in one week!
Anywho, just a little update….I hope that you are having a beautiful week and enjoying this gorgeous month! Much love to you all!
My little brother is a cutie.. (I can still say cutie because he is my little brother, even though he may be taller than me now!)

Oh my! That puppy picture at the end is incredibly sweet! Your parents look like they have a beautiful place to live.
I’m having to agree 100% with you on photography not just being about taking pictures. I don’t know how you manage taking 2-3 sessions a week and getting all that editing done on time. That’s a lot of work.

You make photography look easy. Your work is beautiful, it’s as if the world was created for you to capture. Your photography is inspiring, I wish I were in the places you shoot… I just want to run and play with that puppy, maybe even roll around in the leaves a bit. Haha.

How do you get your husband to be so compliant with all the pictures you take of him? My husband hates getting his picture taken and complains everytime I set up a shoot.

Arielle! your photos never cease to amaze me! you have a such a beautiful family, too. adorable puppy!
to answer your question…I loved Courageous! it’s such an excellent movie about fathers leading their families in serving the Lord. the acting and filming in Courageous is better than Fireproof. it’s definitely worth seeing! :)
