What a treat it was for me to take pictures of these kids on their grandparents’ farm in Elk Grove on such a beautiful fall day! Although I grew up in LA, I’ve always been a farm-girl at heart, so this was so much fun for all of us.

These four kids are two sets of siblings and cousins to one another. Their grandma had been saying for a while that she really wanted pictures of the kids playing on the farm, so the moms conspired…They waited for her to go out of town so that we could run on over the property and spend the afternoon doing all sorts of fun things that had a special place in this family’s heart.

We got to collect eggs and chase chickens…

Ride the jeep (which big brother is surprisingly good at — I saw multiple three-point-turns happen!)…

Show off some gorgeous smiles….

Play on the grass in the warm autumn sun…

And look super-sweet for grandma.

Ah, what a great day!
