SIPRESS SCOOP

Everyone has regrets in life. I should of... I could of.. I would of... But there is no going backwards to fix things or do them differently.  One of my regrets is that we had a nice four generation picture taken with my Grandma & Issac but that we never had a professional pictures with my Grandma & my daughter. So when we learned that Tyler's Grandparents were coming to town for Thanksgiving I brought the subject up with Tyler.  Then on Facebook one day, Lisa J Bruce Photography had a tree farm mini session deal that happened to fall right while Tyler's Grandparents were visiting.  I then texted Tyler's Mom, Laura & she booked a session.  Then came the wardrobe decisions. Laura & I went on Pinterest & had a few conversations over a few days before she decided on Navy, Grey, black & Mustard.

But I will say Josie’s field trip was perfect. The weather was wonderful and the company always delightful.   Issac’s field trip was a soaking wet mess!   The rain was typical Seattle October rain drops & dark skies.   The kids in my group tried to stay positive even t
