TC & his girls - Redding Family Photographer

This is my nephew TC, his wife Shannon & their girls Alillah & Alannah. It's been so long since I've seen them. Alannah has grown so much & is almost 1, wow, time has flown by. Her big sister Alillah is 1 of my favorite smilers of all time. Her smile is so contagious & she loves hamming it up for the camera, although Alannah has her own way of hamming it up, as you will see. I got some precious time with the girls while we waited for TC to come home & these next photos wound up being two of my favorites of the evening.

The girls got to put on their Halloween costumes for some photos, how fantastic is that!

Alillah was buzzing around in the back yard like a busy little worker bee...

...While Alannah took on the queen bee role.

These next photos are so funny, Alannah has started making faces & they totally cracked me up so I had to capture them, these are only a few.

She's so funny, she cracks herself up. What a doll! I LOVE my great nieces & can't wait for the next session with them. Thank you TC & Shannon, Have a great Halloween!

PERSONAL NOTE: Sorry for the long pause since I blogged last...due to having dial up (as you know if you're a follower of my blog) makes it time consuming to load the photos & I'm also currently taking pictures that can't be displayed on my blog. I go to 2 schools during the year & take photos for 2 teachers for display during Open House (used to be same school last year but 1 teacher changed schools). You can understand why I don't display those photos but I have been busy. We are going on a classroom field trip to the pumpkin patch on my birthday which is this Friday...I think it's a fantastic way to spend my morning, doing what I love, photographing more kids.

$50.00 Holiday Session Special

• Includes 1 hour session
• 1 location (within Shasta County, CA area)
• Up to 4 family members (additional price for larger families)
• 10-20 images delivered on a cd
• Limited appts available

In a recent post (& above), I showed photos of my sister Vicki & her kids during their family session. Not that I ever have to talk her kids into taking photos but she...is a different story & I happen to share that feeling. Howeverrrrr, it is sooooo important to our families that we get out from the LCD side of the camera & take some photos with them. More for our families & their memories of us, than for ourselves & if my sister can do it, trust me, you can do it.

So, in lieu of getting families together, I'm offering a 2010 special session price during my twin sister Bevs & my birthday month of October & Vicki & Glorias birthday month of November. Yes, there are 2 sets of twin girls in my family. All sessions must be scheduled prior to November 30, 2010. These images can be used on social networking sites such as facebook, myspace, etc (with restrictions), used as xmas cards, or printed for family gifts (images on cd are in 4x6 size but can be set to higher resolution, ask for more details). Due to the limited appts available, I'm asking you to contact me by email (kimsartistictouch@yahoo.com) or by leaving a comment to this post. Due to privacy purposes, I will NOT be displaying those comments, of course. Please make sure you include your email address &/or phone number for contacting you.

Hope to see you all very soon!
