Happy Halloween from Carrie Saindon Photography

I love this time of year - the weather, football, all of the fun holidays coming up...  And it's especially fun for us this year because my kids are 3 and really starting to "get" it all.  We took the kids for a neighborhood trick or treat party this past weekend and we had such a great time.  I loved watching them walking up to the doors and saying "Trick or Treat".  And I love listening to my little girl sing "Trick or treat, trick or treat, give me my food."  ;-)  She has it a little confused but that makes me love it even more.  :-)

I got the chance to do a couple of fun Halloween shoots this year too.  One was of some of my friend's twins.  And of course one was of my own kids.  Here are some of my favorites of our princesses, dragon, and Spiderman.  :-)

Lens Baby Project 52 for October

Between sick kiddos, play dates, a camping trip, a quick trip to Austin, and photo shoots, this has been a very busy month for us it seems.  We've had so much fun (minus the sickness of course).  And it has been such a blessing to be asked to photograph so many beautiful families.  All that to say, I have taken pictures weekly but have not gotten to my challenge pictures as well this month.  So I'll be sharing some weekly favorites instead.  :-)

{Week 39: "Solitary"}
This week we were supposed to take a picture without kids.  I was a little at a loss for what to take a picture of so breakfast it was.  :-)

{Week 40:  "Fall Colors"}
The colors around here this year are really starting to look like Fall (which we definitely don't see a lot of in Texas).  I just caught a hint of Fall in this picture.  But I'm loving the changing of the colors this year.  And it was nice to get a picture of such a beautiful mommy as well.  You can see some more of her pictures with her little boy here.

{Week 41:  "Weekly Favorite"}
Here is a favorite from the week for this week.  I met this little boy when I did a maternity shoot with his family.  He was such a cute little guy and I absolutely loved those eyes.  Here are some more of their family pictures as well.

{Week 42: "Another Weekly Favorite"}
I met up with this beautiful family last week.  I knew these twins from a mom's group that their mommy and I were in together.  I loved seeing how much they have grown.  Talk about cuteness!!  You can see more of their pictures here.

{Week 43:  "Halloween Pictures"}
Here are a couple of the cuties I have captured for Halloween so far.  But there will definitely be more to come in the next couple of days.  Keep watching the blog for more.  :-)

Celebrating Fall in Texas {McKinney Area Family Photographer}

Last week I got to chance to take some really fun Fall pictures.  I met up with this sweet family I had met through my twin moms group.  Their kids are close to our kids in age so it's a lot of fun for me to see them as they grow.  And I must say their kids are absolutely adorable.  They played in the leaves, read a silly story in the park with mom and dad, and then changed into outfits of one of their Daddy's favorite hobbies - the New York Yankees.  :-)  It was really a great morning!  Here are some of my favorites.

 

 

Thank you guys so much for letting me be a part of your family pictures this year!!

Maternity at the Park {Frisco Area Family and Maternity Photographer}



I met the sweetest family at the park last week to take a family maternity shoot.  It was so nice to be a small part of such an exciting time for them.  They are expecting baby #3 - another little boy.   I can't help but wonder if he will have his big brother's beautiful eyes.  :-) 

 

Aren't they too cute together?!!  I love how she has that beautiful pregnancy glow.  :-)

 

The new little guy is going to have such a great big brother and sister!

 

Those eyes!!  :-)

Friendship {An I Heart Faces Challenge}

This month's "I Heart Faces" Challenge is Friendship.  I immediately thought of these two when I saw the theme.  This is my niece and nephew and so of course I think they are just too stinking cute together!!  :-)  I have a picture of the two of them smiling and being goofy together...but this is the one that really makes me smile.

Mommy & Me Maternity - {McKinney, TX Maternity Photographer}

My friend Sara and I have been in the same mom's group since our kids have been really little.  So I was excited to hear she was pregnant with her second baby.  She will be having a beautiful little girl in November.  Yay!!

Last week we met up at the park and I had the chance to capture some Mommy & Me pictures with her.  And despite an overcast day, we had a lot of fun.  I loved seeing all the love in her little boy's face when he looks at his mommy.  So sweet!! 

And after our shoot, all three of our kids had a great morning playing at the park.  It was definitely a fun day.  Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.  Isn't she a beautiful pregnant mommy?

The "H" Kids - {McKinney and Frisco Area Family Photography}

Our nieces and nephew came to visit a couple of weekends ago to help celebrate our kids third birthday party.  And we had such a great weekend with them!   I love that when all of our kids get together they play non-stop.  I have always wanted our kids to have great memories with their cousins so it makes my heart happy to see them have so much fun together. 

This visit was extra special for us this time not only because we were celebrating the twins birthday but also because we were finally able to meet our beautiful baby niece.  She was so sweet!  With the busyness of getting prepared for the kids party, I only wished I had more time to snuggle with her.  :-) 

We also managed to fit in a quick Christmas card photo shoot for the kids.   Here are some of my favorite pictures from our shoot.

Isn't she adorable??
