My Family Visit to Wickerd Farm Pumpkin Patch - Menifee Photographer

Fall is one of my most favorite seasons, the weather starts to cool down, the leaves start changing and begin to fall off the trees, morning coffee never felt so warm, and preparing for the days ahead of intimate family traditions waiting to unfold. One thing I have not been doing on my blog is writing more about me personally and the other side of Clifton Photography. A wife and mother of four...yes,  I said FOUR precious children. They are not only my support, but my biggest fans!

This past weekend we did what most families do right before Halloween, we went searching for our carving pumpkin. My sister-n-law Bonnie told me of a quaint little farm off of Scott Rd. Dad was away on business and I asked my Mom if she would like to tag along in our hunt! Off we went and had a great time. Let me formally introduce you to my children from oldest to youngest is Austin, Savannah, Brandon, and little missy Sierra. Here are just a few pictures I was able to shoot of our little adventure.

Elyse Reuben Custom Couture Runway Show + La Cereza Winery

This last weekend www.allwedsites.com hosted a bridal show at the ever beautiful La Cereza Winery located in Temecula California. My friend Alicia was invited by Jaime owner of  Elyse Reuben Custom Couture to come photograph the runway show that they were highlighting some of their custom couture collection for the bridal show.  Alicia asked if I would like to join her and I was more than ecstatic. With  some wind, fun beautiful models, hair dressers, make-up artist, gorgeous venue and an array of one of kind breathtaking gowns we had a hit of a shoot. Here are just a few portaits that I took before the models walked the runway. Ladies if you are looking for a fabulous designer to generate your visionary dress into reality Jaime is your girl. It was a pleasure working with you Jaime and Jen, I look forward to working with you again soon.

Vintage Veronica

Meet my friend Vintage Veronica, an awesome woman who loves that era where pins are used to make curls in your hair, make-up was glamourous as Marilynn Monroe, and the girl who posed with her boys hot rod was all the rage! The good ol' days. Veronica is a cousin of one of my photog friends Alicia Salcedo. She knew how much her cousin enjoyed sometimes dressing up on the weekends and going to car shows and thought why not have a photo shoot. Alicia and I always have fun hanging out together, and she thought it would be cool to shoot together. So we went out to a friends house right around the corner from her house who had an old Dodge pick-up. We shot in her friends driveway and found our way driving into old town Temecula. We had a blast and Veronica was such a doll. Veronica we will have to do this again, maybe Alicia and I can do this in San Francisco!
