Loved this session. It was such fun. The boys donated their snacks to the birds before we even got going. A very generous gesture indeed! I thought they might get hungry but it didn’t seem like they needed to refuel with any food. They were all energy all the time in the best possible way!
So here in MA it seems like we’ve not had a good stretch of regular summer days. It’s been hot and humid, wet and humid or just plain wet since June. It was great to be able to get this session done prior to some rainy weather. The evening was cloudy but clouds ( provided they are not the dark and stormy variety) can really make the color pop in photos. It was a really relaxing session and this little girl really made me smile. This family have just relocated back to their home country of Finland and I hope everything is going well for them. These portraits ( due to be delivered to me from the lab today ) should make a nice memory of their time here in the Boston area!
Well here I am in my office today preparing a proof gallery from a recent outside session. I feel like I’ve been looking at a lot of grass in portraits recently so for a change of scene, here’s a few from one of my newborn family sessions held at the studio. This was a return visit for this family as I had photographed the little girl when she was just a couple of weeks old. My how time moves on! It was a fun session!
It was touch and go whether this session would take place. The ground was still wet from earlier rain and the heavy clouds still hung around. However it all worked out. We saved sitting in the grass until as late as possible and the clouds actually helped the Fall colors pop. Fun shoot with a fun family!
I have just spent this evening preparing a collage and storyboard from this session. We had a lot of special images from this shoot and they go so well together in a collage format. It’s like telling a story with photographs. I was very happy to spend time with this family, such easy going parents and fun kids prefect for a portrait session! OK enough reminiscing, got to get back to the rest of the order preparation!
My Fall season blog postings would not be complete without a portrait of these children. This is my fifth Fall session with these kids but this time around two is now three with the arrival of the youngest sister. At just over 4 months posing can be quite a challenge. A big thanks to the eldest two siblings for being very patient and happy to try a few different positions for this portrait. This portrait is a bit of a change from my usual style but it happens to be a real favorite of mine.
