A new favorite

Here’s a selection from a recent session. I captured some lovely images. The first portrait is one of my favorites so far this Summer. I really like the way the calmness of the boy contrasts with his more expressive sister as she checks out the flower.

The clouds thinned out about five minutes before we started this session and the available light was perfect. Often clients expect that clouds will lead to a shoot being cancelled. As long as the sky isn’t heavily dark with rain clouds then overcast conditions are fine for photographs.

Just in time for Father’s Day

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.

Taking advantage of a break in the weather

On the one sunny evening we had this week I had the pleasure of visiting a lovely area of Concord to shoot this special family portrait session.  Photographing adults is always a very different experience from  children’s portraiture  – having time to group and pose everyone is a real luxury!  I also appreciated the delightful house and garden which made a great setting for the photographs. Three generations were present and I wanted to convey this with the arrangements in some of the portraits. I’ve hurried to get these images blogged so all the family gets to see some photos whilst they are all together.

Family Session, 13 Month Old and Two Photographers

Here’s a snapshot of a recent family session. Mike was a second shooter with me on this one and worked some different angles for some of the family photographs.

This shoot required a little bit of patience as the little girl was not too happy about hanging out with two new people and their cameras. However given time and my best efforts to sing we got the smiles! Sessions are always about capturing a range of expressions and interactions and whilst it’s nice to get those smiles the serene momentary glances make for some of the best images.

The Weekend Session

Here’s a sneak peek from a weekend session.  We had perfect weather for the evening, some colorful late spring blooms and  twins all dressed up for portraits.  Mom and Dad are longstanding clients who now live out of State. They made a big effort to get here for a session with me following their vacation. I think it was worth it as I’ve got some super portraits to work on.

An Important Job

 Here we have a couple of older brothers looking after the youngest guy in the family.  They are doing a very nice job of it too! I really enjoyed spending time with these siblings and Mom – I hope they get the chance to explore the park some more.

A session and a lesson.

I learned many new things during the session with this young man.  He was an expert on bugs and energy (we found a few insects in between photos) and he also showed me his  RipStik after the shoot. Very cool! I hope he has a wonderful time at his summer camp!

Flower Girls ( and little brother too)

 These girls brought along some gerber daisies for their portraits.  They added a nice splash of color and were great for not just holding but waving around too!  Maybe we have a future cheerleeder here in the making! (image 2)  These two sisters have a super lovely little baby brother. I photographed him as a newborn and it’s nice to see him growing up!

Showers and Smiles

 We dodged raindrops and wind and made an unplanned location switch (due to the weather) for these photographs. In the end it all worked out very nicely. I first photographed these two sisters last year and it was great to see them for more portraits this past weekend. I think dressing for the occasion was a big priority for the youngest girl. She was very particular about having her cardigan buttoned up just so!!

Big Hugs!

It was the job of big sister to give the hugs today.  Big sisters are very good at giving big hugs.  From the smallest kiss ( we captured that for the gallery ) to the squeeziest squeeze (see below) it all makes for some special moments.
