If I've learned anything from COVID, it's that I can't do it all. (And that it's okay!). So while I finish editing the last ten sessions on my plate, here's a look at all the fall goodness I've captured so far. Eventually I'll get around to sharing each session and the story behind it, but for now - here's your daily dose of eye candy.

Whitney took our family pictures on Whidbey Island last year, and they are so beautiful that they cover most of wall space that was left in my home (I may have a “hanging pictures on my wall problem” - or else I need a bigger house!).
