halloween....in september!

that's right, folks. we here at the ray house looooovvvvveee us some halloween and, quite frankly, its a HUGE chore to drag all those decorations out for only a few weeks! so, in honor of the appearance of our halloween boxes being dug out of the garage {thanks, babe!} here are a few peaks from our trip to Mickey's Halloween Treat in 2009....

with holiday sessions officially in full swing, school starting, and that new little baby always pestering me to be fed :) i'll attempt to post halloween decoration pics in the next week or so!

mine {any} day :: katie the fashionista

with the addition of baby brother, i'm amazed everyday how grown up my little girl suddenly seems. she's suddenly very into choosing her own clothes...AND accessories. seriously. we CAN NOT leave the house without at least one bracelet and a purse. and if she has her way...a tira. everyday. :)

as a mama, i'm lovin' her independence. well...most days. :)
and as a photog mama, i'm lovin' her sense of style. i couldn't have put this outfit together if i tried....

for those of you trying to figure out what to wear for your upcoming session, don't shy away from your toddlers dress up clothes! be brave and let them choose an outfit on their own as a second outfit choice....you won't be sorry -- i promise! :) even if its that batman costume he's been wearing since last halloween with the worn out areas and snags....that's who is is RIGHT now....which is priceless.
