Karen's Chronicles has a new look!

About 10 months ago, I started getting the itch to redesign my blog, but it was the wrong time of year to do what I wanted to do. So, I made a few changes that were satisfactory and waited patiently for the fall colours to arrive. 

Of course, the colours this year have not been quite as brilliant as they usually are due to the unseasonably warm temps, but who complains about that? Not me! Despite that, it was still a gorgeous fall and I jumped at the opportunity to have a family photo shoot with my friend and photographer, Sara McConnell one day in September out at Mer Bleue.

A picture truly is worth a thousand words, so here are a few of the pictures Sara took (not including the ones you’ll see on the blog:

This truck that Sara brought as a prop ended up providing absolute delight for Brandon. He didn’t want to get out of it, even though it’s not particularly well suited for the terrain we were navigating.

But look at that face! He was so happy and enjoying himself.

Eventually he did get out of the truck when he realized Mommy had gone off alone with Sara to do pictures by herself. We can’t have that, can we!? 

No shots alone for mommy and daddy either. This one is better for his being in it, anyway, don’t you think?

The dinosaur just seems to fit right in with the truck. Thank goodness it’s one of Brandon’s toys that I brought with us. He was pretty heartbroken when we had to leave the truck behind. 

If you didn’t already see Sara’s write-up about our shoot, here it is…better late than never! Thanks to her I was finally able to do two things I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. 

So, what do you think? :)
