Loving Lately

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: Fall

Here are some of the things I have been loving lately. It is just the beginning of my favorite season and I am so excited. I can’t wait for more leaves to change colors and capture some amazing photos.

Cotton Candy Cookies

Loving Lately

These were made from a Betty Crocker package. They are sooo delicious and made my house smell amazing!! Dustyn approved.

If anyone wants to buy me this bracelet I will be your best friend! I just love the simplicity. It is gorgeous!

 

The rest of these photos are (gasp!) from my DSLR. I have not really been picking it up much to do personal photos. I have just been so busy this year with my photography business that I have mainly picked it up for that. It was nice to go on a little nature walk and take photos.

Having Fun with Bokeh and Leaves

For this photo I put a leaf in from of my lens and it created this beautiful yellow haze and make the bokeh in the shape of the top of the leaf. It was fun to experiment.

 What are you loving this fall? Are you joining me with my Fall Bucket List?

    GORGEOUS photos! And that cookie ... YUM! If only I were eating sugar. :) I love something about every season so I don't know that I actually have a favorite. I do love fall for the colors, pulling out the sweaters, the soup-eating weather, and the ability to bake without overheating the house. :)

    Great, all I want is a cookie now! lol

    I am loving that little branch; it reminds me of home in Minnesota. I wish we had Fall here. But sadly I only get to be excited that the lows are going to finally be below 80 next week!

    You are amazing with a camera! Holy smokes. Can you please come visit and teach me? Please? ;) I've been playing around with manual a lot lately, but am nowhere near close to taking pictures like that. And, I can agree with fall.. my favorite too. It's just beautiful, the crisp cool air, the pumpkins!

    Okay... so are you planning to do a post on those cookies soon? No fair teasing us with how good they are without explainin' how to do them! ;0)

    Gorgeous shots! I'm loving our morning glories...and have the photos to prove it. ;) We have a variety of colors of morning glories blooming in our backyard each morning. Especially glad to see them this year because I couldn't seem to grown anything else this summer. My WW post: http://cheekycocoabean.blogspot.com/2013/09/wordless-wednesday-morning-glories.html

July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny and I celebrated being married 18 years in the mountains, and the kids had a lot of Summer fun. Unfortunately we did lose Kenny’s step dad, the kids Grampy, Billy. I’m so glad I decided to do project 365 again this year. I really do love looking back on all the photos, even if most are taken with my phone. Just want to take more photos of the kids with family members.

Hoping we are on the tail end of it and will be back to feeling 100% soon. She painted the wooden unicorn all by herself and did a pretty good job. Swipe to see my newest monstera leaf open. Carsyn went swimming and Prestyn and Annie had fun lining up dominoes.

Eighteen year anniversary. Kind of crazy to think about. Married at 19 (me) + 21 (him). Four kids later. Life is wild at times but we try to live in the moment each day.
