Well, this post has been a long time coming, as will be a couple more this week! My dear friends, the Murrays, have been more than gracious in their patience, and I’m stoked to finally post photos from our session. The Murrays have good times together, and it was fun roaming about George Fox’s campus with their kids, a soccer ball, and a lot of smiles. Thanks friends for a fun afternoon!

Loved this shot (above), and it didn’t hurt that the creek was chock-full of fatty crawdads!

I have to say, Henry is quite the stud (above). With blue eyes it’s hard to go wrong.

Again, soccer is a huge part of the family. Nathan is top-notch, and his kids are following suit (even Henry!).

I have to say this was a really fun time, and I’m grateful to get to photograph so many awesome families! Shout out to the Murrays in the comments!

Alex & Beth engaged!

Last week I was given the chance to photograph Alex & Beth as an engaged couple (congrats!). We got some amazing light, and the last of the autumn leaves in the area. Although it was cold we had a lot of fun, and I really love how the images turned out! Thanks for letting me journey with you two as your photographer!

And yet a few more images from around campus…

It’s still fall in Princeton…

And yet a few more images from our current state of surroundings…

Local parks with friends…

We were introduced to a great new park by our friends, Vicki and Mia. We met, played, walked, and reveled in the general autumn hue. It was great to hang out with you two again!

Deleware Water Gap: hiking on the Appalachian Trail…

Today we went hiking on the AT with our good friends, the Kellys. It was a beautiful day to hike, and possible leaning toward some of the last great fall weather/scenery before the winter swings in. Here is our experience…

Snow was still around from the random snow storm last week, and EP learned to throw snowballs…

Beginning with the above image is the progression of EP’s first major ascent…a fire lookout! He eventually climbed it (with mama right beside him) almost all the way to the top!

Here he is getting pumped up for the climb…

Thus it begins…

…and continues…

…and they top out after a very successful climb!

The view from up top…

PS – as no images were submitted for the most recent contest for the free 5×7, we will assume that either a) folks are too busy at the moment to undertake this task, or b) this was not a good idea. Either way, I am brainstorming an easy (or is it?) answer question for the next free 5×7, to be posted later this week…

New Jersey fall mornings…

I noticed these Ginkgo trees the other morning…the sun does great with textured lighting when the day first spins into view.
