This is my favorite time of year for shooting outdoor photos… it’s nice and cool so your subjects won’t be hot and sweaty, and the fall colors add so much warmth and atmosphere to your pics. Also, with the earlier sunset times, we found that the golden hour, the hour before sunset, is a little easier to manage with younger subjects.

Anyway, I decided to thin my son’s stable a little and take one or two to work. Yes, I look silly with Monster Trucks on my desk. So I decided to change the scenario and make a handsome backdrop display to improve their appearance in my workplace. And now you can too! Click below to get the PDF and see more pics.

I just opened and played with a bunch of figures from the Batman Total Armor line. Based on the Cartoon Network show, Batman the Brave & the Bold these snap & attack figures feature armor and accessories that can be attached in multiple places on all of the figures, so your 4+ year old child can customize their own battles and constantly change them up.
