It was a Friday night, it was a family session and it was fun. I am preparing family group portraits for the gallery but here’s a couple of my favorites from the evening. Love how Mom and Dad were really relaxed in the black and white image. Like the set up for this group shot too. Again Mom and Dad were great at doing their own thing in the background ( family dog too) adding a nice anecdotal element to the portrait.
A warm sunny evening and three lovely children…always the perfect combination!
Back in studio for a session this week and it was lovely photographing these two sisters once again. We even did a few family portraits too. I love working on black an black portraits but the girls also brought along some gorgeous saris with beautiful rich colors for some of their photos. The two choices of clothing were a very nice contrast.
I love doing sessions in September with the lovely late late summer evening light.
Here’s two from a mini session this week. The second group portrait was the very last shot taken. The final ones often make for fun images. This one is the “ARE WE DONE YET?” type of photo.
I will be offering mini sessions on a space available basis during the fall session. Details will be posted soon.
Never think of ages or birthdays as the only reason to have a photo sessions. There are many events both big and small in your children’s lives that can be the perfect reason for a portrait. Both the brother and sister from this session are about to begin some extended travel. I wish them all the best on their adventures. For Mom and Dad I hope these picture create a special memory for them.
It was really enjoyable photgraphing these siblings (and Mom and dad too)!
This little guy was 10 days old when I met him last week. Here are some portraits of him sound asleep although he decided to delay his naptime until we were well into the session!
Families are often keen to see a session preview here on the blog, I usually have this done about three days following the session. Sometimes though I am very excited about the images and post them early. Here’s an early post…
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.
What rhymes with sun? Well with this shoot I’m picking FUN and RUN.
We got some smiles and even some laughter on a very sunny evening this week. Then it was all about RUNNING AROUND. I got my daily exercise during this shoot and think these girls did too!
I got back from my session yesterday and thought, wouldn’t it be nice to get a sneak peek up on the blog for Father’s Day as it’s the first one for this family. So here they are! I hope Mom, Dad and daughter have a very special day together today.
