“Autumn Dreams”

 

 

“I know the year is dying, soon the summer will be dead.

I can trace it in the flying of the black crows overhead;

I can hear it in the rustle of the dead leaves as I pass,

And the south wind’s plaintive sighing; through the dry and withered grass.

Ah, ‘tis then I love to wander,

Wander idly and alone.

Listening to the solemn music of sweet nature’s undertone

Wrapped in thoughts I cannot utter,

Dreams my tongue cannot express.

Dreams that match the Autumn’s sadness in their longing tenderness.”

-Mortimer Crane Brown

Introducing Baby Ruby Jane

 

Introducing my newest niece….here is little Ruby Jane.

I spent last Saturday snapping a few shots of this cute little one with her proud mamma and papa.

I think her daddy might be just a little bit smitten.

I do think she might be a daddy’s girl…being slung over his shoulder seemed to be her very favorite place to snuggle.

Such a cute family (missed Franklin the beagle).  So admire the ease and patience in which Kris and Duncan have taken on this parenthood thing.  It’s nice to see the smiles that Ruby brings to their faces. 

Okay, she is a total mommy’s girl too.  Kris is so good with her and already Ruby knows when mommy walks in the room or is close by.

Watch out boys this one is going to be a heartbreaker.

And here is the rest of the family…I hear they are pretty protective of their new addition. 

So glad little Ruby is here and part our family.  Congratulations Kris & Duncan…love you guys.

Mair Family

 

Last Saturday I spent the afternoon with some of my favorite people…and here are their cute mug shots.  While editing these photos I couldn’t help but think about how grown up and beautiful Addie was getting, how creative Ben is, Paige so sweet and pleasant, Stu is the charmer of the bunch,and little Ike could tell a whole story with those eyebrows of his.  What a happy, amazing family, so glad I was able to capture some of that.

Baby Saul

Was so excited to get a call from my neighbor Alex wanting to know if I could snap a few shots of her new little one.  Baby Saul was so patient and sure charmed me and the camera with his big brown eyes.

Thanks for spending the morning with me little guy.
