The Sunshine That Lives Down the Street

Meet my little neighbor Elise!  As we arrived at the location for our photo session yesterday, I would have bet my bottom dollar that the skies were going to open up, the rain would come pouring down, and the thunder would begin to roar.  But thankfully we were only dealt the dark gray clouds, and the storms seemed to miraculously miss us.  But even despite the dark gray clouds that filled yesterday’s sky, there was a great big burst of sunshine every time this darling little girl smiled at me from the other side of my camera.  This is the second time I photographed Elise and I must say that this little one who was a bit shy last year has turned into quite the little ham!  I had so much fun taking her picture!

Saturday’s Session with Cole

Please allow me to introduce Cole… in all his cuteness!!!  What an absolutely adorable little man and such a joy to be with during Saturday’s session.  Our session was overcome by cloudy skies last night, so we’re going to finish our picture taking sometime this week.  But I did get some cute shots of Cole while we were together yesterday so I wanted to share them with mom and dad.  And I promise to share some more after we meet again!

Sophie and the Giant (or rather, “Donut”) Peach

Have you ever heard of a donut peach?  I hadn’t until a recent visit to Strite’s Orchard here in Harrisburg.  They are AMAZING!!!  They’re peaches that resemble (yes, you guessed it!)… donuts!  Sweeter than any peach I’ve ever had and the perfect size and shape for little hands and little mouths.  If you’ve never had one, or you’ve never been to Strite’s Orchard, I strongly recommend that you head over there and try them out.  But don’t go today because they’re closed on Sundays.  Here is their website in case you’d like to check it out:  http://www.stritesorchard.com.  It’s a great place to frequent or just visit!

This is the peach truck that just arrived with the daily pickings.  I LOVE this truck!

Saturday’s Session with the Boys

I had a wonderful session this past Saturday and I have been so excited to post the sneak peek for these kiddos and their mom.  We had a fun time in downtown Harrisburg and to top it off, I even managed to get a hug shot out of them (well, sort of).  Your boys are great T, and I enjoyed being entertained by them – they’re a couple of cuties!

Summer Horse Camp

This past week was a very special one here in the Chardo home.  Our little girl went off to her first “summer camp”!  And she loved every minute of it!  The hardest part for me was leaving her, but not for the reason you might think.  I wanted to stay and join the campers!  They enjoyed lots of horse-related activities all day long, from riding and grooming to arts and crafts.  What could be better than learning about horses and playing with a family of pot bellied pigs, a lamb, a goat, and the most lovable dogs you’d ever want to meet?  I am so happy to have found this beautiful farm that is owned by the most wonderful family.  Clechachar Farm (http://www.clechacharfarm.com/) is an exceptionally run riding facility, and the summer riding camp program they offer is outstanding!  Enjoy the pictures of these ecstatic kids and their four-legged friends! 

Horse Tattoos!
