November Rock the Shot Challenge: Family...red bluff, ca. family photographer

OMG! I have been so unbelievably busy lately that I am way behind on blogging the sessions I have done recently. I am also in the process of adding a few things to this blog like personal posts and maybe even some how to's. I am ready to branch out a bit and make this vision I have for myself a reality.

Anyway, in the mean time I am going to offer up my submission for the Rock The Shot monthly photo challenge. So here it is. This was a more candid shot I took of this family in between posing when I was just watching them be themselves. Wouldn't you know it, I caught them laughing together while her husband leaned in to kiss her and all while their first newborn child was smiling. Not a technically perfect shot but who cares...these are the shots I live for!!!!

Love Birds: Anna & Jose...red bluff, ca. couple's photographer

Are they not GORGEOUS love birds? I was so happy when Anna asked me to do this session for her and Jose. My specialty is children and babies so it felt really good to get out of my comfort zone and shoot some adults.

I love to use downtown Red Bluff as my back drop, and I have been waiting to do a couples session here! Everyday I drive through and find new places to use around that area, and we definitely made use of them most of those spots here! From the tower to the courthouse, this three or four blocks worth of buildings and businesses make for some awesome photo opportunities.

Here are some of the photos we were able to capture:

 

As always, Thank you for looking!

XOXO,

Attn All Cheerleaders and Football Players: Here Comes Natalie and Tristen...red bluff, Ca., anderson, Ca. child photographer

We had so much fun during this session. I was joking the whole time that these two needed to be my assistants because they had such great ideas to add when it came to posing! It was an awesome morning! Thank you guys for being such great subjects!

Here are some of the photos I was able to capture of Natalie & Tristen:

Falling In Love With Fall...red bluff, ca. photographer

One of the reason's I love fall is because of this ^^^^! I have lived in the desert almost my whole entire life. If you have ever lived there you realize there are basically two seasons...summer and winter! Occasionally, you get a week or two of spring and fall but it is nothing like the experience you get when you live somewhere that has all four seasons. 

I used to think my favorite time of year was spring, until I moved North. We moved here just at the tail end of summer and my first encounter with fall was enchanting. The color's are brilliant. The weather is cool. It RAINS!!! Something that is rare in the desert! I LOVE THE RAIN! And the fact that it rains so much here just made fall even more appealing to me. And almost everyday the sunsets are amazing. This picture I took was just at the end of the day and the end of the street I live. Isn't it amazing. 

Happy fall from Jeny Crews Photography!
