Last weekend was a beautiful long Thanksgiving weekend with warmer temperatures and lots of time spent outdoors. On Saturday, my husband and I took our girls to Kusterman's Farm and spent the day enjoying the many attractions. On Sunday, we celebrated Thanksgiving and my sister had our big family get together at her place. Then on Monday, I decided to grab my camera and go off to Springbank Park for some alone time and I managed to snap some pretty awesome pictures and find a few good shooting locations for my Fall Mini Sessions. Anyways, here's a few shots from the weekend for you to enjoy :)
October has arrived and it's the time of year where families want to get updated family photos done with beautiful fall colours as their backdrop. Sometimes the leaves just don't cooperate with the timing of your sessions and don't start to change colour until late October or early November. You can still give families the beautiful colours they seek by "faking" it in photoshop. There is a great tutorial by Missy Mao Photography that shows you how to achieve just that! I'm still fairly new to photoshop and I must say that when I applied these techniques to some of my images I was awed by how gorgeous they turned out. Be sure to give them a try!!
How to Fake Fall in Photoshop - Tutorial created by Missy Mayo Photography Since my oldest daughter had a PD Day today and I only had one daycare child to watch, I figured why not do something a bit different and fun! I decided to take them for a little nature walk on one of the trails in the area. They were completely mesmerized. We collected some colourful fall leaves, saw some apple trees growing along the path, stepped through lots of fallen acorns, and our last stop was at the floating dock by the pond.

Woke up this morning wanting to go and do something fun with the family. We had never gone apple picking before, so decided to go and scratch it off our bucket list. My girls were more than excited and had a blast. All of the apples in the orchard were not quite ready, but we got to pick from quite a good selection of Royal Gala, McIntosh, Empire, Cortland, Jonamac, and Spartan.
I brought my DSLR along because you just never know what kind of photo opportunities will arise. There were some great spots for shots, so of course I took full advantage. We will definitely go back to that farm again next year. #dwarftreeorchard Autumn is my favourite time of the year. The temperatures get cooler, the air is crisp and the leaves turn beautiful shades of red, yellow, orange, green and brown. I love to pull on a sweater and go for nice long walks with my family while sipping on hot coffee, hot apple cider or tea. It's fun to watch my children piling up the leaves to jump in and throw high into the air while I delight in their smiling faces and cheerful giggles. It's also one of the prettiest times of the year to have family photos done.
