Pumpkin Patch Time!!

Pumpkin Patch Time!!

by Jill October 20, 2015
written by Jill

It’s that time of year! We load up the kids and drive an hour to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch, always arriving just as golden hour sets in, leaving me only enough time for beautifully lit shots if everyone could just HUSTLE AND SMILE AND COME ON JUST LOOK AT ME for 15 minutes.

IMG_5103

#LeynasSmirk comes everywhere with her now.

IMG_5108

You know what I appreciate about Lowell? He gets my vision. As for the rest of them…

IMG_5139

FYI, it’s really hard to adjust white balance and tweak skin tones when you’re surrounded by an orange house of orange pumpkins. Black and white to the rescue!

IMG_5142

Okay, that? Up there? New favorite of her. It’s like a smiley smirk. Like the smile and the smirk are fighting and the smile is winning.

IMG_5157

Honestly, I was going to list my Canon 85 1.8 lens for sale. I so rarely use it. But I took it with me instead of my trusty Sigma 35 1.4 this time, and DANG, I will now keep it forever. I fully understand it’s dreamy capabilities after this.

IMG_5195

Um guys, my 7 year old is enormous and this is not okay. Also he now only wears sports clothes. NO he will not wear a pumpkin shirt to the pumpkin patch. AS IF.IMG_5208

And then there are these two who have literally never taken a bad picture, together or apart, ever in their lives. Jerks.

IMG_5213

Yo, check out those light-up Transformers shoes Lowell is rocking. We are SOOOO far past caring about dressing our toddlers like tiny grown men in pricey brown loafers.

IMG_5226

That pile of hay look familiar? I shot this there a couple years ago, back when Kendall let me dress him in seasonally festive clothing… or at least in pants with zippers and buttons.

IMG_5238

Remember when she had almost no hair for like 2 years?

IMG_5260

Remember when this guy didn’t look 12??

(Sidenote: Those Under Armour shirts are 100% worth the money. They can not be destroyed. Plus? Kendall is STILL wearing the some of the first ones we got him back when he was a chubby toddler. Now they stretch vertically instead of horizontally.)

My Halloween Treat? A New Camera

by Jill October 31, 2012
written by Jill

I have crafts to make, pumpkins to carve and candy-rabid children to keep at bay today, so not much time for a post with words and stuffs. Instead, I give you pumpkin patch pictures, taken with my new (to me) Canon 5D MK II! I don’t think I’ve officially announced my new baby on here yet. I upgraded cameras a few weeks ago after selling my Canon T2i to Stephanie and getting a crazy-good deal on my MK II from Adorama. 

I don’t have it mastered just yet. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but I’m slowly figuring things out and am so excited about the potential it has, especially in low-light settings.

Also, I’m obsessed with all things from Birdesign, including their blog boards and photo collages, like the one above. I even purchased some of the iPhone5 case templates so I can officially become that mom who uses things with pictures of her kids on it outside the home. I’m so deeply entrenched in this suburban mom cliché, it’s not even funny.

Hope you all have a wonderful, safe Halloween!

Oh, and make sure you check in tomorrow! If you loved my Monster Wreath tutorial and are sad to take yours down, fear not. I have something equally cute that you can make this weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving. If you’re in the DFW area, you can watch me on Texas Living at 11 a.m. tomorrow. I’ll be revealing the fun project then!

Good friends. Good life.

by Jill October 24, 2009
written by Jill

Many of you know that we are close friends with Amy and Srinu Regeti. They own Regeti’s Photography out of Warrenton, VA and photograph people all over the Greater Washington D.C. area. We were so thrilled to hang out with them this week since we haven’t been able to chat much since we moved away from the area 16 months ago. They made us laugh, they gave us sound parenting advice (with 4 of their own, I am amazed they are able to get out of the house every day, not to mention run a successful business), Amy rescued Kendall from me one afternoon when I was on the verge of a breakdown from being stuck in a hotel with a tantruming toddler, and they took some beautiful shots for us of Kendall at the pumpkin patch (Cox Farms for those of you in the area).  Here are a couple of my favorites:

Check out a few more on their blog, Blog.Regeti.com.

Srinu and Amy have captured so many moments in our life together so far, including our engagement pictures and my maternity pictures. They also snapped some gorgeous pictures of Kendall in the hospital when he was only 12 hours old. We are so lucky to have such wonderful and wonderfully talented friends! Looking forward to the next time we get to catch up, and I’m hoping it will be in Texas. We’ve got to get Amy and Srinu in some cowboy hats.

Kendall is nearly 18 months old
