A Fine Fall Day. . .

The day after M's 5th Birthday, just a few days before K's Big Haircut, we were lucky enough to have some fall family photos taken by the incredibly talented Leif Brandt. It was a typical So Cal fall day -  in the mid-90s (phew!) - thankfully our shoot was scheduled for the afternoon and it had started to cool down. Leif & Erica found this awesome large trunk and he brought it along for the shoot. Leif found a location in Bonsall with some nice trees and open fields, great for pictures. We had a lot of fun, even if we did have to bribe the kids with candy :-p And thanks to the always-stylish Erica Brandt for letting me shop in her closet for the top, sweater and necklace - I now have inspiration for what to look for when I'm shopping for myself. I love our family :)
