at Lapacek’s Orchard! 

We love to have photographer’s use our orchard for photo shoots!  One of those fabulous photographers that comes often is Karmen Linder of Karmen Linder Photography.  She stopped by on Wednesdays to see how the orchard was looking and then she grabbed my girls for a quick 5 minute shoot…

My jaw dropped when I saw these posted…amazing!

I don’t know about you all, but I’m SO READY for school to start!  Don’t get me wrong – we had an amazing summer with tons of new memories made, but the girls need to be SEPERATED!  I think they’ve just had enough of each other and I know I’ve had enough of their bickering.  To add to it all, apple season has started so they’re stuck hanging out with us all the time which also means with each other!  So, when Karmen asked if they’d do the shoot of course I said sure.  We ran in, threw on some adorable Matilda Jane outfits, had about three meltdowns deciding what to wear, combed our hair, over sprayed leave in conditioner in our hair, sprayed our sister in the eye ‘accidently’ with conditioner, had a few more meltdowns, and finally made it out to the orchard 15 minutes before Karmen had to leave for a clients shoot.  I sent them out in the orchard, took a deep breathe, and let Karmen work her magic.  All I can say is ‘Wow’!

So…anyway…if you want to snag a mini session with Karmen check out her google doc schedule HERE https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u0YG5zLdvuxB487JAlwntI6VhrtRJ5kAdQXuruIEuAY/edit?pli=1 and see what she can do with your lovely children!  I personally love getting my kids shot at this time of year because I can easily get pictures for Christmas Cards and it’s not too far away from Christmas that they’d change too much before the card went out. 

It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE Matilda Jane (Trunk Keeper #450) fan.  I often get asked if I make the adorable clothes that either my children or I am wearing.  Nope!  I honestly could not make the clothing with the same quality of fabric and embellishments for what it costs to buy it – and it doesn’t help that I don’t know how to make clothes…just quilts).  Makes it an easy decision for me!

Here’s an incredible photo taken by the fabulous Karmen Linder Photography during apple blossom days of my girls and cousins in their Matilda Jane (Trunk Keeper #450).
