Tis the season for Family Sessions...

... I guess!
This shoot didn't start as planned. We got to our first location and it was closed to the public because of a wedding. We drove around downtown trying to find some fun places and found this cool little church my blogging friend Laura told me about...

I tried to have fun with it's crazy architecture..

this little dude was loving givin' me the sweet somber looks..

but he did have some smiles in there afterall...


Mom plans on doing an old fashioned trains, planes and automobiles theme in the little boys room so we couldn't pass these up...


And then we made it back to the original location and snuck on since the wedding party had simmered down a bit...



Thanks for the adventure guys! I hope you had as much fun as me :)

Amanda, that's so funny. I saw you at the train depot on Saturday night durning this. I drove up and it was closed, I was so bugged. We went to another park and came back later to snap a few on the train tracks. I remember thinking I'd love to try out the lens you were using. These turned out so good by the way. I haven't even started editing the senior session from that night. I'm so behind!

Amanda,
These turned out so awesome. Steph is going to have a hard time choosing between them. You have got to come down to St. George and do some of my family with all the cool fall colors. Anyone up for a road trip? Love all of them, especially black and white of Lindsay and Garrett!!!
