Who doesn’t love the Apple Hill area for family photography in November, just overflowing with fall color? We found three lovely groves of trees and just had a grand ol’ time, running around and playing.

It’s like having flowers in the sky…

This obliging set of fir trees also looked quite pretty in the afternoon light.

Piggy back rides are always a winner with five-year-olds!

This family was one of my very first clients here in Sacramento, over five years ago. I first met them when their little boy was 9 days old and now he is five! My, how time flies… I’m so glad we captured all of the years in between!
