As I was looking through some of my photos – I noticed a pattern among some of my very favorites!…  Let’s see if you can spot the similarities too!

Even with dogs…

Perhaps it is the depth that this angle has compared to others.  Perhaps it is the nature of the photo – that all by 1 of the above photos were candid, in-the-moment shots.  They were all by chance alone.  Maybe that is what I adore so much about them.  And the best part is that while they are all very similar, they are so very different.  Each angle, each expression, each pair of beautiful eyes…  No two are the same and I just love that!

Well, we are wrapping up the most colorfully beautiful week of the year…  But not without some great photos of families playing out in the fall leaves!  I thought I would share a couple photos to savor the fall colors!  Happy fall to you all!

Wendy & Ailee…

Quinny with as big of a smile as I seem to ever get from her!

McC family…

I love the bright orange leaves!

Who can resist 2 kids frolicking in the leaves.  Love it!

Now we head into the winter season.  It’s time to bundle up, get the furry jackets out and play in the snow!  Keep an eye out for snowy family portraits for the holidays!  Happy Holidays, everyone!

I would like to introduce you to Cassius.  I met him last weekend at the Hyde Park Street Fair.  I was casually sitting in the grass surrounded by friends and family when everyone’s attention quickly drew to something behind me. As I turned around, I was nose-to-snout with an Old English Bulldog named Cassius.  His owner told us he is thirteen years old (which explains his slow and sad hobble from admirer-to-admirer) but obviously not scared of meeting new people.  Unable to do anything but laugh at this floppy tongue and big round eyes, I snapped a photo of his seemingly-smiling mug. 

Although there are four different Cassius pictures, I liked this one the best.  It’s just him.  No toes of people sitting beside his frail, stubby body.  No hands petting his sad little aching back.  Just his smiling face and bright, happy eyes.  (P.S. The picture is not cropped or Photoshopped in any way – he was that close to me!)  I feel like this picture captures more of his spirit than he is able to express in his old age.  A spirit that will long outlive this stubby little creature.

Good boy, Cassius.  Good boy!
