Fall is here, Redding kids photography

Taken 11-8-09. I took my nieces & nephew on a trip to the park as the sun started to fall so we had a limited amount of time before the sun went away. I have forgotten what it's like to have a 3 year old & Kenzie reminded me of how they can't stand still for more than a second. Sam enjoyed a new hat of mine (stating AHHHHH, when I asked for it back) & Trevor had fun coming up with photo opportunities everywhere we went. This session was all about letting them have fun & that's definitely what we all did.

Fall is not complete without throwing colorful leaves up in the air & letting them fall all around you. So, we did. Kenzie could only get a little handful so I had Sam & Trevor throw more up for her.

These two pics were my fav of Kenzie, the one above where she's constantly on the move & the one below where she was calm enough to let me take one just before we left.

At the end of the photo session, they played on the playground, then we walked single file to the car (yeah, right). I couldn't get Kenzie to stand still for nothing but I expect that of a 3 year old. I try not to do too much posing with her cause she is off in literally seconds to another part of the park before I can shoot the picture. But I waited patiently and she rewarded me with that great pose above. You guys did great & thanks for the fun day.

"We Are Family..."

Taken 11-6-09. These are my nieces & nephew. We had some fun with this little photo session so they could have updated pictures. I had so many fav pics, I couldn't choose so I included a bunch.

This is their puppy M.J. She was such a good girl during all of this but she was nervous too. I love pets & no real family photo is complete without the pets although I didn't add their two cats, OOOPS

Sam is in High School. She is growing up very fast.

I love the aged photo effect I created in the next pic.

This sunflare was generated in Photoshop but turned out really cool.

Trevor had his "girlfriend" over so he was looking as cool as he could for these photos, he already wears his hair the way his girlfriend likes and that cracked me up.

They even put on their Halloween costumes. As you will see...Trevor was my fav for posing with his swords.

Little Red Riding Hood made an appearance at the backyard playset but I have never seen anyone cuter than Kenzie. Did I mention she's also my Nike hat model. GIRL POWER

Can't hardly see M.J. in this picture but I had fun with the high ISO. We will be going to the park soon for more fun pics so I'll get to have more fun in natural light. They are all so cute so just like the pictures, I could never choose a favorite.
