Notre Dame

I LOVE having Notre Dame so close to home. The campus is so beautiful once the leaves start turning. We make it a point to go there and take pictures every fall. Jacob is so easy to tell him what I want and he even requests some pictures of his own. Little Miss this year was not so compliant. She didn't want to ride in her stroller or walk, you couldn't pick her up and she wouldn't sit still.  She's going to give me grey hairs before my time...

She loves her 'uh oh' baby.

Taking a second to 'smell the mums'?

This was the best pose I ended up with them on the steps of the Admin Building together. She did NOT want to sit still.

This is one picture I try to grab every year. I took one of Jacob when he was around 3 or so and it has been one of my most favorite pictures. 

Jacob wanted a picture at this light post and of course Little Miss had to get up there too

And she had to have a photo by the fence too.

This is one of my favorites from the shoot. I know the children are not in it, but it is so pretty to me. (There is NO retouching on this)

This one ranks right up there with the picture from above. Jacob was doing the touchdown sign and after a few laughs and giggles, Little Miss did too. Such a sweet picture of these two!

Another one of those "I have to be in it too" pictures. 

I must get this one blown up!

"Flowers momma!"

To me, this is so peaceful. 

Audrey Hepburn made an appearance again. She cracks me up!

So photogenic!

"Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame, 
Wake up the echoes cheering her name, 
Send a volley cheer on high, 
Shake down the thunder from the sky! 
What though the odds be great or small, 
Old Notre Dame will win over all, 
While her loyal sons are marching 
Onward to victory!"
