apple picking and the broccoli prom

Two weekends ago I went apple picking with a bunch of friends, organized (and all linked together) by Annie. I mentioned going to my mom and she offered to bake me an apple pie. I called her from the farm and told her I didn't plan on bringing home any apples unless she wanted some. She said "don't worry about it, just take pictures and have fun." Funny, I hadn't mentioned that I had brought my camera with me ;) Guess my mom knows me too well!

Lucky for me, it was a cloudy day - which makes midday, outdoor photos a lot easier! It was pretty much just me snapping some pictures while we all goofed around. On the way, Kevin and I had been joking about how romantic broccoli picking would be... Only to discover everyone else had made the same joke on the way there. Then Etienne and Annie posed for some "broccoli prom" pictures. It was a great day at the farm!

James at 4 months

I really wanted to get some traditional baby portraits of James while Erin and Jeff were here, but the best I could do was snap a few pictures while we had lunch at Town Center on their second to last day in town. The noon sun proved difficult for both me and James. But I think I got a couple of good pictures. Too bad I didn't think to ask for a picture of the three of them together!

I also realized that I should make some business cards. While we were there a couple asked how old James was and said that they were expecting. That would have been the prime time to whip out my business card and offer my services as a baby portrait photographer! Lessons learned.
