Family Pumpkin Day

Fall is such a fun time for family. Our family has made it a tradition every year to visit a farm and pick out some fall pumpkins. Normally we go to Sequim, because it's on the way to Grandma and Grandpas, and they have an awesome pumpkin farm there with pumpkin slinging, baby pig chasing and an awesome corn maze, but David wasn't feeling so great this year, and didn't want to risk getting the Grandparents sick. So we opted to try someplace a little closer. 

We found online a farm in Kingston that looked like a lot of fun. It was called Sunrise Hill Farm and so we took the drive over. I was so happy we did. The weather was terrific, and the fall colors were mesmerizing. Everyplace was just glowing yellow, orange, red and gold.

The little farm was just delightful. They had a giant corn maze, which we decided not to go in. The entire maze was over 1.2 miles long, and we just didn't think the little ones would last that long in the corn. We did get to pet goats, ponies, llamas, sheep and see chickens. We flung some mini pumpkins into a field with a giant rubber band and topped it off with a hot cup or apple cider and cocoa for the boys. It was another awesome family day that will be part of the Wessel Family Memories Photo Album......

Miss Devon

Meet Devon. She's got ton's of personality. She's an artist and a lover of art. She doesn't particularly like her freckles, but I think they are super cute...

Devon has just been accepted into the Tacoma School of Arts for next year and she is going to do awesome there. She is a great artist. It's a rare occasion that you don't see her with her sketch pad working on her artist skills. She loves to paint and loves the octopus along with almost any reptile or amphibian. She currently has several lizard, snake, frog and newt pets. She also loves to rescue and rehabilitate pets that have been neglected.

As you can see she is a character with many different hats. Physically and metaphorically....

My Muse

I've always wanted to have lots of cool areas around my property that could work for my portraits, these are 2 that I've been working on. Let me know what you think.

Of course Levi is the perfect little model to try them out. I thought about washing his face, but why. It's so him, and it totally fit with the setting...

Time to start shooting again

My life has become so busy. As many of you may or may not know, I have become a foster mother. My once, what seemed like chaotic life, has increased in it's chaos times 2. I have really been enjoying getting to take care of the 2 extra darling babies in my home, but I sometimes miss my love of photography...

I know how important is is for me to have something that is just for me. My goal is to be out more, doing what I love. So get ready to see lots of new work on this sadly neglected blog.

As a step in the right direction, I got together with some other local photographers to just photograph each others children for fun and to inspire each other.

Here are some of the results of this fun afternoon of shooting.
