Train Museum

Decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go out to Old Town Sacramento and go to the train museum, Kyle loves trains and we knew he'd enjoy this. It was nice to see it all decorated for Christmastime.

This was right before we left, Kyle wasn't to happy to hear we were leaving, thus not excited about getting his picture taken with daddy!

Cookie and Ornament Making with friends

Kyle went over to a friends' house for some ornament making and cookie decorating, while he wasn't to crazy about the ornaments he really did enjoy decorating the cookies.

Santa and Sirens Toy Drive

There was a Santa and Sirens Toy drive tonite through our neighborhood, they hit 3 neighborhoods in 3 days and collect toys for needy children. Kyle really enjoyed this and even got a candy cane from Santa's helpers.

My Dad's Swearing in Ceremony

Tonight was my dad's swearing in to the Folsom City Council, it was standing room only, from his family to his supporters!

The City of Folsom Seal

Kyle was a hoot during the ceremony, a typical 3 yr old!

Elk Grove Dickens Faire

Went to the annual Dickens Faire in Elk Grove, it was a beautiful day, Kyle visited Santa but was in a bad mood so who knows maybe he'll get coal in his stocking! LOL!

Kyle's visit with Santa, not too happy! LOL!

But he did give him a hug afterwards...so I think Santa will forgive his moodiness!

New Backdrop!

I got a new 10 X 20 Backdrop the other day from Silverlake Backgrounds, this is my first attempt at doing off camera lighting using a 60'' Softliter with a SB800 speedlight inside of it, I still have alot of learning to do but I think it came out pretty good for my first attempt.

This backdrop is called "Noah"

Here's my cutie Kyle on it!

With some photoshopping done and a vignette

And a Black and White conversion

Preschool Thanksgiving Feast!
