glendale fire house run.

Posted on October 30, 2008

Last Sunday morning we skipped church so C could sleep in a bit and I could play a bit with my camera and photograph the Glendale Fire House Run.  I use my camera so much in the fall to work with my clients that I forget how much fun it is to go to something like this, play with my setting+angles and capture a story.  Here are a few pics I got…

While I was out shooting I ran into the Kriedlers who were actually going to RUN the five miles! Since they are clients and since their son flicked off my camera at the Halloween mini shoot and since they have the sweetest daughter in the world I told them I would take "before" and "after" shots for them!

Ok seriously? Don't they look just as good at the end as they did at the start?

I have lots more but you get the gist. I had a great time just shooting for the sake of shooting. And moving targets are great practice for all those 2 year olds out there!

Oh! And are you dying to see the bird photo?  Here you go!

Do you think he was excited to be able to ROAR or was sick of me and my camera? The jury's still out.

doesn't everyone love fall? if you don't love this season with the beautiful colors, the spicy smells, the warm days and cool evenings then there must be something wrong with you! this afternoon grayson was really fussy (he finished his antibiotics but is still sick the poor guy) so I popped him in the sling, grabbed my camera and went for a walk. the weather was so incredible and i'd been cooped up working for a while so it was really nice to get out for a few minutes…

i was trying desperately to take a photo and both Grayson and I but with my 50mm lens it was impossible, so I got a ton of photos like this one. Oh well, I'm chalking this up to my October self portrait!

Is this not the cutest? I got the idea from HERE and my friend Angie and I made these for the girl's classmates. The sweetest little pumpkins! Bailey will deliver hers tomorrow at her Halloween parade and I will take Parker to Doodlebuggs just to drop hers off. Her little school has been counting candy corn all week so this will be a treat for them! It was super easy too… we took about an 8in square of orange organza, filled it with candy corn and wrapped a clear baby hairband around it. Angie did that part. Then I took them, cut out felt leaves, attached them with a pipe cleaner and WALLA! A pumpkin! Thanks for the idea Christian!

Tomorrow we have lots of Halloween things to do like deliver our treat bags, bake cupcakes, do an art project, etc. Very little work will get done on my end but I am guaranteed to have an amazing day with my kids!

Happy Halloween everyone!
