A Fungus Among Us..

Our wet fall weather creates perfect growing conditions for wild mushrooms. I always see tons of them on my walks with the dogs. This patch had just sprouted up a couple days before...

A Smashing Good Time...

It looks like a baby and a birthday cake gone wrong. But really, that's the whole point! Today was my first cake smash shoot and it was sooooo much fun. Probably more so for the adults since baby Matty apparently does not like cake. BUT he still managed to get frosting everywhere and make a big ole mess. So stay tuned, cake smash pics coming once I'm caught up with editing...

Things that go Bump...

This weekend I did a bump shoot with a sweet couple from the Renton area. It was a lot of fun! Once I get caught up with editing I'll be posting pics of mommy, daddy and belly...

Something Sunny...

We've been getting a lot of rain lately so I wanted to post something sunny. This is the English Lavender plant from our front walkway. I love Lavender! It smells sooooo good. And it's purple! And low maintenance. You plant it then forget it. And never have to do anything to keep it alive. It just keeps coming back year after year. Definitely my kind of plant...

You know it's Friday the 13th...

When you can't sleep past 4:15am... almost lock yourself out of the house... burn your homemade breakfast... AND get stuck in a torrential downpour walking the dogs (even though you had an umbrella but you left it on the porch because it wasn't raining at all when you left!!) Luck has not been on my side this morning...

I Heart Fall...

There's so many things I love about this time of year. Like the smell of cinnamon harvest candles wafting through the house. And windy days. And making comfort food. But mostly I love how beautiful everything gets outside. When all the leaves change from green to beautiful reds, yellows and golds. Sometimes when I'm walking Yogi and Parker I have to stop to admire their crisp, vibrant colors.

Pumpkins...

I love fat, happy, orange pumpkins. There's just something cheery about them. And I love that they're everywhere this time of year. We don't carve them anymore but I always buy two for the front porch anyway...

Dog Bugs...

I love Halloween because you get to dress up in funny costumes. And make your dogs wear silly outfits too. I realize they're not thrilled to be wearing these. They hated them last year too. But I laugh so much whenever they wear clothes... I wish they loved dressing up much as I do...

What I've been up to lately...

So I realize there's been a lack of blogging on my part lately especially these last few months. But that doesn't mean life has been boring. There's actually been a lot going on! I just haven't taken time to blog about it and honestly I may never catch up. So just in case, here's a real quick summary of what Netters been up to lately...

Did a few photo shoots, including this nice couple, their cute boys and their cool muscle car...
