October

Started off with some humor in The Costco Trap, I decorated for fall and my oldest had a birthday!

Did a newborn shoot, which I think will always be one I remember and love

See more pictures from this shoot here 

We were busy with school (Alex got student of the month), soccer, and even an 80's murder mystery party. .... oh and I might have had a birthday too.

Our 80's outfits

And of course the month ended with Halloween....

including a stylized pirate shoot I did.

Pictures from the month

November

I looked for tender mercies, my son lost his pants, and I shared our family pictures and told why every photographer should be shot.

I told you 5 things you may not know about me and did a lot of photo shoots this month....

My in-home "studio" for newborn shoots

One of my favorite photo shoots, wasn't necessarily for the actual pictures but because why I was taking it; I was taking pictures for my daughter's baptism invitations with the beautiful dress my MIL made.

Alex's soccer team ended the season undefeated, I went on some field trips with Ryder and got to have a lunch date with my bestie CA Girl when I was scouting out photo shoot locations in her city. 

I told you about The Talking Challenge. 

There was Thanksgiving, followed right by Alex's birthday (which I didn't blog about until December).

December

Eric's parents came into town and went with Ryder's preschool class to see the Nutcracker.

Alex got baptized!

Parties- Eric's work party and a church Christmas party

And it snowed in California.. well at my kids' school at least

There was lots of events and parties at school too and I photographed my church's Live Nativity they do every year.  

Ryder's preschool class

I shared a video I made- The Christmas Gift

And there was Christmas of course (which I will be blogging about later this week.

So join in and recap the year with us!  You have until Friday night to join the fun.
