Carlyle and Elijah




We had a second day of fall family shooting, this time in Cunningham Falls State Park manor area. I love this park! It has beautiful foliage, a picturesque stream running through it with plenty of big rocks for posing on and the best yet, a tire park! The entire playground area is made with recycled tires. I've taken my son there many times and we have a blast! So, when the formal posing is over, it's fun to run around the park and photograph kids being kids.


This was my first year to photography Carlyle and Elijah and their mom, Diane. These boys lit up the world when they smiled, trouble is, they rarely smiled at the same time! Last year, Diane tried having a friend photograph the family for their Chrismas card with little success. So, it was time to call in a professional! I had lots of help from their family friends who coached from the sidelines and held my secret weapon, the singing chicken! It gets a smile from most kids.


With a little sweat and a lot of running around, we had success!
