Suter family sneak peek

Small sneak peek for this charming family of 4....

and for you Katheryn, the sun will come out tomorrow... ;)

...Enjoy...

Nate's But Farm.... I mean Bate's Nut Farm.

This was our first time as a family to Bate's

It was actually my first time ever to Bate's even being a native San Diegan.

From the second we got there (could have been the long car ride there)

the kids went bonkers.

So much to do...

Feeding and petting the farm animals

Going on the pony ride... although he chose to pet the pony instead of ride it (said he didn't like the poo on the ground)

Picking out our $70 pumpkins (ok I'm exaggerating, but it was more than I thought it would be.... but I support local family owned businesses so I'm not complaining)

Picking out (and eating) yummy bags of candy... And can you believe it? The candy store was not their favorite part...

This was...

The look on his face was priceless.

 Oh! Here it comes!

Tractor ride!

 Feet firmly planted on the hay

 Holding on to dear life (because for a 20 month old this feels like a real ride)

 Looking at all the amazing things the pumpkin patch had to offer.

Truly a child's dream come true.

And when it was over, I watched him gaze over every now and again looking at the kids that were riding the tractor wishing he could do it again...

That is until

His best friend showed up.

Screw the tractor, Grayson's here!

Oh what fun did they have.

See you next year Bate's.

Thanks for giving this beach family a taste of the country life.

Harneski Sneak Peek

Mia was my old roommate. We lived together for several years and

I had the privilege of photographing her lovely family last year, and again this year.

So much can happen in one year....

Starting with the most important addition...

....a new brother for Jack.

Someone to laugh with,

someone to share small but powerful moments with,

someone to love,

 someone to call...

his "little brother."

The bond between these two boys is unbreakable.

Forever they will have each other.

And forever they will have this family.

 Mia, I couldn't be happier for you.

I am truly proud of the woman you have become.

And the life you have made for your family and yourself.

 Including Satchel.

I hope these images will bring joy to so many people during the holiday season, 

I know they already have for me.
