***UPDATE** Take a look at Mitzi site, she was some great photos up!
The first I heard of Rileys Farm was on the t.v. show Wife Swap. It showed a place that reenacted the Civil War.. to be honest I thought it was back East somewhere.. well I was wrong again. Riley’s Farm is in Oak Glen about a 20 minute drive from Hemet.
For the last two years, Mitzi and I have exchanged family sessions. She shoots my family portraits and I shoot hers. Yup, that’s her. She’s the one who took the studio shots of London and the family on the top header of the blog.
Last month we decided to shoot our sessions at Riley’s park, where Mitzi and her friend Julie have been going every fall for the last couple of years. Last minute we decided that it’ll be a great “Mom’s day with the kids”. Which was perfect, because our husbands weren’t able to make it.
I just want to thank Mitzi’s and her kids, expecially Nathan and Megan for helping so much with Jacquelyn. They are going to great babysitters! Nathan and Jacquelyn immediately hit it off… Nathan was able to help Jacquelyn fill her basket with apples. Mitzi was able to get some great shots of him climbing the apple tress and giving the apples to Jacquelyn. Megan was awesome after lunch helping Jacquelyn in and out of the car, holding her hand up the path to the pumpkins and playing with her in the sprinklers! You too kids are the best!!!
Here are a few photos that I was able to take..

Jacquelyn kept asking, “where are my friends?” and I said “who” and she said “her and him”, referring to Megan and Nathan. We will have to do this again soon, Jacquelyn is already asking when we can go back! She feel asleep within 5 minutes from leaving the farm!
