Family Session

It’s a big wide world out there if you’re just 8 months old. There’s plenty to look at, touch, pick and try to eat. (If Dad’s not looking.)  I mean who wants to look at a silly lady with a camera anyway! I had to be quick with this little girl to capture a few glances cast my way. She is rather lovely though and we had perfect light for this family session. It’s nice to get back to meeting new families and taking their portraits. I’ve got some delightful images to work on from this session.

Due to the light, evenings are the best time for outdoor sessions. However it can be a difficult part of the day for some babies which makes parents reluctant to schedule a photo session.  Obviously early evening isn’t suitable for all but if after supper your youngster has some mellow time then it’s worth giving it a try even if it’s just for a mini session.

Vermont Ending

“All good things must come to an end.”

Ok, well I don’t always believe this saying but in the case of my summer vacation it certainly rings true. Here’s an image of my daughter playing ballerina on the shores of Lake Champlain, Vermont. I hurried to the State Park at sundown right where near where were staying. Unfortunately I only got 5 minutes to take my photographs before the gates were locked. The view of the pink sunset across the Adirondacks was stunning but neither my daughter or I would have been too thrilled to spend a dark night on the beach if we got shut in. “Too buggy”, as my daughter said! (A reference to the large insect population in the area.)

In my second image my son was searching for fossils just after a rainshower had passed by. The varied weather and the fact that my kids were often at shore until dark ( we rent a lovely house right on the lake) was the perfect opportunity for capturing portraits with interesting light situations. If time permits, Mike will post some of his captures from the week. 

Turning attention to more immediate matters. To all current clients,  outstanding galleries and orders are now being worked on. New inquiries will be answered this week.
