Naturally Beautiful

     Yesterday, I busted out my camera to practice some indoor natural light photos.  My favorite little model helped me out with this.  I had her stand on one of her chairs (I as right next to her, just in case) so she could see out the window and I could get some light on her.  I've been reading a lot, and mean A LOT of blogs and Pinterest posts on how to accomplish such beautiful natural lit photos.  So I decided to put some of my reading into practice.  These turned out pretty cute.  I also wanted to keep experimenting with the presets on my Adobe Lightroom editing program, they make such a difference in how the picture turns out.  So here they are....

Fabulous Fall Fashionista

     Fall is definitely in the air and we are loving the cooler weather down here in New Mexico and all the cute fall fashion too!  On one of my trips to Old Nay I found these adorable skinny jeans that actually fit Kinley!  I found the Faux-Fur Vest and the cute Faux-Leather Bow-Tie Boots on Old Navy's online store, and the pink & purple plaid shirt is from Walmart.  With such a cute outfit I just had to do a mini photo shoot of my little fashionista!  

What a cutie!

Back to the Pumpkin Patch We Go...

     I headed out to Mesilla Valley Maze & Family Fun Farm again, this time with both kiddos.  It was a HOT HOT HOT day out there!  But that didn't stop us from having a good time.  My Spouse's Club arranged a pot luck lunch for all of us.  I brought some yummy Pecan Pumpkin Bars to share, they were a big hit.        After some lunch, we headed out to let the kiddos have some fun!

Liam loved going down the slides!

Time to pick some more pumpkins! 

It was another fun filled day at the pumpkin patch! 

To the Pumpkin Patch We Go.....

     I love this time of year...it's pumpkin picking time!  Although, picking pumpkins in New Mexico is very different then picking them in, say any northern state.  Here it is still hot or at least warm for the fall season.  But that didn't stop me from dressing my little fashionista in some cute clothes just in case I got some good pictures of her.  Gotta be photo ready right?  

     Well, we haven't gone to the pumpkin patch all season until now.  My MOPs group set up a playdate with all the mommies to bring our kiddos.  Kinley had a great time exploring, climbing, jumping, picking, and playing with her friends.

A little snack before getting on hay ride to the pumpkin patch....

Picking out the perfect pumpkin

She found it!

She wanted to carry her pumpkin everywhere!

It was a lot of fun! Can't wait to go back on with Liam!
