We were able to drive out to Lake Forest this morning for our photo shoot with Leigh. This was by far the MOST difficult shoot we’ve had to date…Charlie was just such a pill! She was super-clingy and didn’t want us to set her down, period. Our main goal for this shoot was to get a great family shot and one of me prego that I can stand (as I am my own WORST critic), so I’m sure out of over 300 pictures we will have at least a few we will love. (This is NO reflection on the photographer, by the way!!) Two is just a difficult age to corral under these circumstances.

There is an amazing farmer’s market in an alley around the corner from downtown Lake Forest, and it really is so beautiful and such a wonderful place to take pictures. I love that something so colorful and lush exists in the middle of the urban “jungle”…
