beautiful fall colors

I just love the beautiful fall colors in Utah. The canyons just burn with amazing colors-yellow, red, orange and even fushia. Matt's side of the family had a picnic in Provo canyon and I thought it would be a great location for family pictures. We found several great locations, including a charming little river. It was so much fun seeing everyone again and seeing Kai play with his cousins (although it did take him a while before he warmed up to everyone).

I've been trying to work on these pictures between photo shoots and editing. So here are a few of the many I took. I know some of these candid ones aren't the best as far as composition, sharpness, etc do, but when it comes to family pictures, the main thing that matters to me is sentimental value.
