I love it when something happens that is such a real moment and it’s caught on camera… for example…

We were carving our Halloween pumpkins.  The kids although very excited at the start of this venture became very hesitant once their pumpkins had holes in them and their gooey, stringy, smelling funny guts were exposed.  It took several minutes of encouragement to get them to even touch the slimy seeds much less actually put their hands inside!  

So finally after watching mommy and getting used to the strange insides of the pumpkin- Avery was having fun and going to town with her little scraper, stirring around inside her pumpkin… then this happened…

 The slimy pumpkin seeds were okay while they were in her pumpkin… or a little on her hands… but jumping out and hitting her in the head!!! and then sticking!!!  From the look on her face I thought she was about to have a melt down…

But I guess when she saw that mommy and daddy found this very funny she decided against a melt down… and her brother was more than willing to grab the seed off her head

Hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween!

Here is a sneak peek of little Nate’s 8 month session.  I had the pleasure of taking his 4 month pictures and that are up on the old blog, so it is so much fun to see how he’s changed!  He is still so very adorable with his sparkly deep blue eyes and skin that is perfection… he is like a little flawless doll!!  He’s a crawler now, so curious and busy!  I had so much fun spending time with this family and can’t believe that next time I see them will be for his one year photos!  Why do the baby stages have to go by so fast?!?

This was his favorite toy… I’d want to look at myself too if I was that cute

and just because their last name is Lamb…

I loved how you could just see his baby eyelashes as he was peering out the window…

and just a side note to any mommy photographers… that pretty light on Nate’s face in those top photos was all natural!  He had a window on one side with sunlight coming in onto the carpet in front of him and we had an ivory blanket draped over a couch that acted like a reflector opposite the window.  So you too can make a little indoor studio for your baby… get down on the floor, add toys, let them play and snap away- no flash needed!!
