Lema Ranch Fall Family Sessions | Redding Photographer

I’ve had the honor of photographing multiple families in back to back sessions here recently! These two sessions took place at Lema Ranch, a beautiful section of the property at McConnell Foundation that has the iconic olive tree lined pathway and a pond on either side. It’s a beautiful location. I just love how olive trees photograph and especially with the sunset glow! It’s a little bit of a walk to get back to this spot but so worth it. Since I had both of these families back to back, I was able to get a really fun photo of the Green family walking in on the trail across the pond! You’ll see it further down in this post.

Meet the Agner Family

I loved getting to meet this family and their adorable puppy dog, Rex, which is a labradoodle! He’s a beautiful blond color that blended in sooo well with their outfits! I loved it. Stacey and her kiddos love to travel, especially to the beach, and laugh together. I loved seeing the laughter between them all throughout the shoot. And it was so sweet getting pictures of Kailen and Rex together! It was an honor getting to do this family session for them!

Grabbed this shot of the Green Family as they were walking to trail to meet me, so fun!!

Meet the Green Family

See what I mean about that fun shot of them walking in to meet me?! So cool! You may recognize a few people in this session from previous blog posts. :) I’ve had the honor of doing several sessions with Justin and Sam (owners of Flooring America here in Redding, California), but this one was super special because we got to include Sam’s side of the family! Her mom, step-dad, brother, sister and their families! I loved getting to meet them all! Then Chase pretty much had me cracking up the whole time, cause you just never know what expression you’ll get out of him! HAHA! We also got to do a cousin group photo with all the kids which was one of my favorites! It was such an honor getting to do this fall family session with them all!

WEEKLY FAMILY CORAM RANCH REUNION IN SHASTA LAKE CA

I had the opportunity to photograph the Weekly Family Reunion at Coram Ranch. The Weekly family was just amazing and getting to serve them meant being a part of their celebration! The family lives spread apart in the US, but once every three years they all get together for an entire week-long celebration. And, the cool part is that they have been doing this for over 40 years now! Some of those who started the tradition have passed on, but their work and love of family continues to this day as they all gathered at the ranch!

Turtle Bay Family Mini Session

I first met the Endecott Family at Skyler and Cale’s wedding day last October. They’re such a sweet family and such a joy to be around! Amy contacted me a few weeks ago when she found out all of her kiddos would be home at one time and wanted to do a mini session! I was so excited to get to photograph them all together. We even got Grandma involved too, which was an honor to see her again!

CAMDEN HOUSE FAMILY SESSION

It is always such a great honor to photograph this family!! They hold a very special place in my heart. You may recognize Ron and Jeri as the owners of Ceramic Designs, but I have always known and called them Pastor and Sister Green. I started attending the church they Pastor (Church on the Rock in Anderson, California) in 1997.
