Fall Family Session | Grizzle Family | West 12 Ranch Lodi CA

It is family session time for the Grizzle family!ย  Melissa wanted family photos she could display around the house all year round and also capture some of the fall vibes of the season. West 12 Ranch https://www.west12ranch.com/was an easy recommendation since we could achieve both in this Lodi, CA venue.

A Family Session with Older Kids

Photographing older kids like pre-teens and teenagers is a treat for me!ย  I love it because I get to collaborate with them.ย  They have more of a say in the poses and shots we do.ย  Also, I have found that this age group is fun-loving and goofy ๐Ÿ™‚ย  We started the family session with walking poses to get everyone comfortable as quickly as possible.ย  You can see by their smiles that we got comfy quick!

Show Our Family As We Are

Melissa is a busy restauranteur and owner of local favorite Midtown Creperie and Cafe in Stockton, CA https://midtowncreperie.com/.ย  ย I am glad that she found time to get this family session in her schedule! She wanted their photos to capture who they are as a family.ย  Melissa and her kids embraced my posing directions and laughed through them.ย  I am thankful they trusted me even when the posing direction sounded weird!

The Autumn Vibes with a Fall Themed Truck

We were able to get a good variety of shots and locations during this family session.ย  West 12 Ranch does a great job of dressing up their different spots according to the season.ย  This blue truck with pumpkins and everything fall is a favorite family session spot of mine!ย  I love how their outfits work so well with the fall colors.

Mom and Child Photos

My one hour family sessions give us enough time to break out into smaller groups.ย  It was a pleasure to have Melissa have photos with each child.ย  I love how these mini sessions show the relationship each child has with their mom.ย  It also doesn’t hurt when the resident horse Nugget joins the session!

Time for Individual Photos

If the family session permits, I try to get photos of each family member.ย  It is another opportunity for them to show their personality!

Brother and Sister Photos

I could not resist ending the family session with photos of Melissa’s kids together. You can see how really comfortable we are with each other and got these fun and relaxed photos.

Dina @rodijuha08_doky and her family are avid #HarryPotter fans!  So I was not surprised when they asked if a portion of their #FamilySession be Potter themed!  If the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music stood as Marshall College for Indiana Jones, I then thought the campus would also be a great stand in for #Hogwarts! Check out this #reel to see all the magical fun we had ๐Ÿ˜ƒโ

Thank you for always humoring me when I tell you that you will be in a photo shoot (even when you don't want to ๐Ÿ˜…). You are always ready with a smile when I ask (like here with your Godmother Joy and Ate JD). I thank God for you and how you have enriched your parents' lives. โ

Good luck on race day today at Lodi Lake Park ๐Ÿ˜€โ
