Yrigollen Family

This sweet family session at the McConnell Foundation in Redding, California was full of all the cozy fall vibes! 🍁 I had the joy of photographing this beautiful family last year too, and it’s always so fun getting to see them again and watch how much little Dorian has grown.

Taylor really wanted those bold fall colors, and the row of vibrant trees in front of the McConnell Foundation could not have been more perfect. The leaves were glowing in shades of red and gold, making the most gorgeous backdrop for their photos. Dorian had an absolute blast playing with the leaves and gave us the cutest smiles! Sometimes it can be a challenge for little ones to make it through an entire session, but he did amazing and made it so easy to capture these joyful moments.

I also loved their outfit choices—those warm, earthy tones went perfectly with the autumn scenery! It was the perfect way to wrap up another fall session in Redding. 🍂✨ Can’t wait to see them again!
