Friday afternoon I bribed Jon to pose for me on the greenway since I wanted to scope it out as a photo location. This is where I've been running every day since we moved.
As I took pictures of Jon, I wondered why I EVER take pictures of children. Look at this cooperation!
But then Jon broke out the jazz hands...
and he pretended to be a lion stalking me through the grass. I guess adults aren't that much easier to photograph than children.
In all seriousness, I'm glad Jon helped me scout out this location. It was good for both of us. It was obviously good for me since I had a cooperative subject. Jon is usually in the background when I'm photographing the kids and he often sees my frustration with the general fiasco-ness of it. It was good for him to see my vision played out and see that I am truly serious about this hobby. Thank you Jon!
(and can you believe how gorgeous this greenway is?!)
We took the boys on the trail a few times over the weekend to hit up the park and collect fall leaves. I saw a craft on another blog about using clear sticky contact paper to preserve leaves and the boys loved that activity. I took them alone on Sunday (without camera, I need to be in the moment sometimes) and they wandered around picking up sticks and attacking the overgrown grass.
Each day, we all fall a little more in love with our new home.
Side note on this picture.... before fall/winter is out, I wanted to get a picture of Alex in his gear. Note that Nate is completely coordinated while Alex is a crazy mish mash of red, green, brown, orange, and blue. I love both of their "styles" for different reasons and encourage them to pick their own clothes. It may look crazy in photos but it's Alex, through and through.

:) You have come SO far with your photography technically and emotionally in such a short time - these are great! Love that Jon plays along - atta boy! Glad you had a nice weekend...
The greenway is gorgeous! Your new house has an awesome "backyard."
I love Nate and Alex's styles. That's one of the cool things about them being twins. You would appreciate each one's style on it's own, but having them together really brings out everything that makes the boys an individual.
Oh, and I have to ask. What did you bribe Jon with? I'm guessing M&M's didn't do the trick.
Very handsome pics of Jon! The top one is my favorite. =)
And LOL at Joanna.
AND... I get to see you on FRIDAY!!!
The stalking lion pic is AWESOME. It totally needs to be framed on your desk.
I also love that the boys have such different tastes. I think Alex's kooky ensemble works perfectly!
Yay! First, I LOVE that location and can't wait to see what you do with it. Gorgeous and I'm jealous!
Second, Rawrrrrr to your handsome hubby. I love him stalking you...and of course Jeff's favorite JAZZ HANDS!
Third, awesome photos!!!
Fourth, you rock!
That is all. =)
Amazing pics! Not just of the background, but also of Jon!
LOLOL! Love the silly Jon photos! heheh!! So fun!
What a cutie pie! I love Jon's jazz hands :)
Photos are GORGEOUS. Almost as sweet as your husband.
LOVE the jazz hands!
He is a special guy for indulging in all your whims :)
LOVE the pics of your little guys too.
You know what? I'm thinking you guys are so warmly dressed and it's (only) fall. That's how we dress in the heart of winter here LOL
Tyce called and would like his cast member back.
Nice to say your studio extends into a Greenway only yards away.
Was that the hat Nate found? Very cute.
I broke down and had a winter hat made for Ian on etsy. Only one :-)
oh my goodness...that greenway is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am dying over the colors & what an awesome spot that is for photoshoots!!! LOVE it. And, Jon is such a good sport :)
That was my thought too. It's way easier to bribe 4-year olds...
