It was a beautiful fall day in the canyon. Taken October 15, 2011.

Personally, I prefer “autumn,” but we all know that word wouldn’t naturally come out of my mouth (come on – one syllable vs. two? My laziness takes over, here).

I haven’t officially decided on a favorite season, but at the moment I might say it is indeed fall. I mean, who wouldn’t be enthralled by the beautiful colors that nature reveals once a year? I certainly would (and am), which is why I’ve been insisting on doing a photo shoot in the canyon for the past month. Yesterday, I finally had the pleasure of doing just that – a portrait session with none other than my wonderful parents. And to your surprise, this is the first formal shoot I’ve done with them in the 7+ years I’ve been doing photography. (Yep. I kinda dropped the ball on that one.) This was also the first time I used my “innovative” DIY reflectors in an on-location setting.

Below is a photo of their dangling feet as they sat on a fallen tree that lay over the path. This scene was my favorite of the entire session.

I won’t be posting any other photos from this shoot per their request, but do know that it was a great success. However, I won’t deny that we would all still benefit from the efficiency of a non-dinosaur speedlite. :)
