Spring and summer in my backyard does not usually present the best natural light for portraits. We are encircled by many tall trees. This year we also have numerous wildflowers so I had to get out the camera. OK maybe wildflowers is a bit too fancy a word for it. We are overrun by weeds especially dandelions. I think this is the end result of nine years avoiding weedkiller. Oh well I suppose if it green and grows I should be happy!
Another sister session to show. These two were delightful and big sister was so bubbly. Here are some of their individual portraits.
Here’s a selection from a session this week. Winter mini sessions are happening locally although it doesn’t feel much like winter yet! I thought these two children looked lovely in their chilly weather sweaters. I enjoyed capturing some portraits of them.
This really was a super session. These boys were great for the camera and their pet dog joined them for portraits too. I have to say for a two year old I have to give this dog ten out of ten for being so well behaved!
I thought I’d be sorry to see the end of the glorious fall color. In my backyard it’s been replaced with faded grass and big brown oak leaves. This year we let the grass grow in our vernal pond area and it’s made for a great setting. So it’s official, I LOVE BROWN. I am no longer going to feel sad when the fall color has gone!!
Looking at the first portrait (below), I’ve got a feeling that the youngest little guy in the family is going to think his two oldest brothers are the absolute best. He seemed to hang on their every word. I believe they were either talking or singing to him at the time!
I also picked out an individual portrait which doesn’t show a smile. There are always a variety of expressions in any given session. I’m often drawn toward images that are a bit more moody.
It’s Halloween today and whilst I am thinking about treats I figured this session was one to show. What a treat it was to meet and photograph this family. This baby was full of lovely expressions and she came with her little pumpkin outfit too!
Casual candids were very much the theme for this session. We got some lovely moments during hugs and play with the little guy in this family. His sister was keen to explore the leaves at the start of the session too!
Love this candid portrait! The entry titles says it all….
More previews to follow from this session.
Fabulous kids, fabulous weather and fabulous evening color. Once again it was a treat to photograph these two children. I hope Mom and Dad have space in their wall gallery for some of these portraits!
