Back 2 School – Apple Orchard 2015

I can’t  believe its that time again…. seriously, wasn’t it JUST last week when we were dragging home those over stuffed back packs and scavenging  for sports day colours? I’m right there with you. I swore last year when I drove to 15 different stores to find 72 page 1/2 interlined – 1/2 ruled exercise books and the right sized pencil case that I would have my school supply shopping done by the end of July…..and yet here I am at camp Pioneer Trails is Washington, sipping my sangria, and its hit me that I have nothing prepped. NOTHING. No clothes, no supplies, no extra activities enrolled, I have been focused on summer and playing, and I am about to PAY for that soon.

If your in the same boat with me, I feel for ya. I can’t save you from the 12 different store scavenger hunt were about to embark on, but I can help you get those back to school photos under control. Lets get those taken care of, save you the worries of sending your kids to school with a pretty ponytail, a prayer and a promise that they will stay clean and smile that perfect “CHEEEEEEEESE” smile you practiced all week for. Instead of shelling out all that cash on the same old boring school photos, why not come meet me in the apple orchard this year and get the photos you love.

I see September as the “new year”. It really is a milestone for our kids, where we as parents have a mixture of sad (they are growing so damn fast) and proud (nothing makes your heart swell then a fresh hair cut, crisp clean back to school clothes and a toddler packing his to-big-for-him backpack full of all those labelled little supplies) ….SO FREAKING CUTE!

School photos are a traditional thing, one I stopped doing even before I became this “momtographer” my now 19 year old came home year after year when he was in elementary school with these photos that I didn’t even recognize him in.  They were just awful.  Not his personality, so fake looking and these weird digital back grounds they have not, they did not reflect that beautiful boy on that day AT ALL. I felt a little guilty that i would not have the typical yearly boring photos across my house, but I just could not spend $50 on a pack of bad photos. I can honestly say not one of them are hanging lol. But I got over it. And then I DID something about it!

This is our 4th year now offering these and I hope to do them another 20. I have many little ones I have seen since the beginning and I hope to see all of your kids out this year!

When: August 30th –  10am-1pm, September 12th and 13th
