Fall Fest 2024 {Event Photography}

| Allison

Our friends host a huge fall party every year with fun family games, yummy treats, and plenty of opportunities for memory-making. I always take pictures, though this year I didn’t cover it quite as thoroughly since I was also taking care of my baby. 🙂 Sophia did well with the noise and being passed around to lots people, although her naps were rather lacking.

I took TONS of pictures of course, but I’m leaving out most of the portraits of people I don’t know just in case they don’t want to be on my blog. 😉 Enjoy these shots of chickens and sunsets + cute little kids!

Falling Leaves & Autumn Things

| Allison

It finally feels like fall here! We’ve been taking family walks in the evening with Sully wearing Sophia in a baby carrier. It’s so fun and so cute, and a beautiful time of year to do it.

Although the weather is crisp and lovely, the leaves still are barely turning for the most part. I couldn’t wait any longer to do some fall photography, so I went out into my yard to see what snippets of autumn I could conjure up. I hope you enjoy the results!

Introducing Sophia Joy {She’s Here!}

| Allison

Well guys, the last two weeks have been a wild ride. Sophia Joy was born on Monday, August 26th, weighing 8 lbs. 12 oz and looking adorable right from the start. I’ve had a pretty rough recovery, but I’m finally feeling good enough to make a post!

Enjoy this darling photoshoot of our sweet girl while I tell you a bit of her birth story, for those of you who enjoy that sort of thing. 😉

Apple Picking {Self-Portrait Photoshoot}

| Allison

This year the small apple tree in our backyard was loaded with knobby, spotty apples. I thought they’d still make good applesauce though, so one foggy morning I decided to go out and pick all I could. I used to do self-portrait photoshoots before I was pregnant, so I decided to dress up and take some pictures just for fun. Enjoy scrolling through the results!

Alexander Family Vacation {2024}

| Allison

Every year Sully’s family goes on vacation together, and this year was bigger than ever: 25+ people in one house for a week, including 12 kids under 12. :O

I was SO excited but also a bit daunted, especially with being 34 weeks pregnant and remembering the traumatic ending of the last vacation. But it turned out to be a blast. Since I’m not posting as often these days, I decided to cram all the best photos into one post. Read on for plenty of cute kids and fun adventures!

Dewy Garden in Macro

| Allison

My garden is soldiering on despite constant attacks from deer, groundhogs, rabbits, and slugs. I’m doing my best to help it along and surprisingly, the plants are still growing! I went out to do some weeding one morning, found each leaf dripping with perfect dewdrops, and immediately went back inside for my camera.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I love photographing tiny waterdrops. I used my macro lens (aff. link) this time for extra refreshing sparkly goodness. Enjoy!

Bursting into Bloom {Golden Hour Photoshoot}

| Allison

It was the kind of evening where all you have to do is point your camera and click the shutter to create a masterpiece.

My family hosted a church potluck in perfect May weather, and knowing we’d be right next to my mom’s flower garden, I wisely brought my camera along. I am so glad I did, because this ended up being one of my favorite nature photoshoots in a while!

If you need a strong dose of color and sunlight, read on. ❤
