Fall Photo Shoot

Today started out breezy and cold, but later this afternoon the weather turned perfect for a fall photo shoot. Surprisingly I didn't really go all out on Cora's Halloween costume this year. The whole idea came together because Anna talked me into buying a cute orange and black shirt in size 9 month for Cora. I wasn't sure that it would fit in time for Halloween, but it looks like the shirt will work. The tutu idea came after I saw something similar at Art in the Park for $30 (I think mine cost less than $5 to make). The hat I scored at Target for $1 and I made her some cute booties with little pumpkin bells on them to complete the ensemble. Across the street from our house there is a giant tree that dumps a ton of beautiful leaves each fall. Since the house if vacant, I thought I would venture over and set up a little photo shoot for Cora. Here are the results.

Perfect

Next it was to our backyard for a change of venue. We have a little maple tree that has great purple/maroon leaves each fall. Cora was SO excited to get to sit in these leaves. She was waving her arms up and down, patting the leaves, and making cute little excited noises.

Mmmm Yummy Leaves

She did pretty well looking at the camera, even if it was only for a second.

She looked at them so thoughtfully in this shot.

It was a fun way to spend part of an afternoon. Now the little girl is sleeping peacfully. Hopefully she will take a good nap and sleep through the night for me. A mom can wish, can't she?
