Our first Ümlarifically Sweet Halloween took place last Saturday, on October 13th, and it was nothing short of fabulous! I have to admit that I was a little nervous going into the event, since the forecast for that day was calling for rain. Short of a torrential downpour (which would've caused a postponement to a later date), I would've still held the event. I happen to find rain pictures to be lots of fun, and my camera can take some light rain. Fortunately, Mother Nature ended up being on our side, and while we did get a drizzle of rain here and there, it wasn't enough to halt our Halloween fiesta!

Our photoshoot location, Vermont Square Park, was awesome! We set up shop near a tree stump, which provided for some really awesome shots.

We had quite a variety of people sign up. Our youngest client, Baby G, was just shy of two months old. Mommy dressed her up as a bunny. I just about melted when I saw her. Holy "Awww" moment, Batman!

And speaking of "Awwww" moments, I cannot even begin to tell how how much I was melting when shooting this little boy's family. This is 6-month-old Baby J. Seriously freaking cute.

He was one of my two tigers that day. The other was 4-month-old Baby E, who was just taking it all in. Not only was he super-adorable, he was a real trooper when I had him hold a maple leaf. Have I told you know much I love maple leaves? I seriously love them. Hello fall? I love you.

This little guy, 2-year-old O was dressed as a bunny. He was adorably shy. Which of course added to the overall cuteness factor.

We had some big girls too. This is 4-year-old A. She had just woken up from a nap and wasn't much in the mood for photos, but that's the fun of lifestyle photography. You don't have to be in the mood. You just bring yourself! I have to say that the end result totally captured a great moment. You can tell that she was at least partially into it, because she's clutching one of the lollipops that we were giving out.

Moving on, I also photographed 3-year-old Miss K-R. She is awesome. Check out the mischief! I assure you that this wasn't posed. She was just having loads of fun in her totally awesome costume!

And finally, I come to almost-five-year-old S. This girl was MADE for the camera. Seriously. She can totally strike a pose. I've said many a time that I don't do posed shots. But when a kid poses for me? That's some kind of awesome. It totally shows their personality, and this little girl had sweetness, bubbliness, and spunk rolled into one. What a pleasure to photograph!

BTW, in case you're wondering about our tasty treats, check them out below. The Baker of Sweet Street totally delivered. Make sure you call on her, y'alls, because her stuff freaking ROCKS!

And, to put a face to the name, meet the lovely Kim, The Baker of Sweet Street. She totally wasn't looking when I took this pic. Tee hee!

It was an awesomely-fun day overall. I was beside myself with excitement as I pored through the day's photos that evening. There were so many great shots, and it was so hard to narrow them down to 5 apiece.

Next up is the October 21st event at Lytton Park. We only have 3 spots left, so hurry hurry, before they're all gone!
