Ok so I come clean, my ’09 photo Christmas card of the children didn’t get printed. So here’s their winter portraits instead. Now I’ve just got to get friends and family to check this blog. I have a very dark upstairs living room but in winter the blanket of snow outside acts like one perfect giant reflector.
It was a pleasure doing this newborn shoot for a good client of mine. This beautiful baby boy is the latest addition to the family. These portraits show him taking a snooze but for much of the time he was wide awake! I bet in another year he’s going to be very busy with his trucks and trains.
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.
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.
Thinking about gifts for the holidays?
Short outdoor children’s mini sessions are now booking for the season. They are held weekday afternoons weather permitting. It’s a great chance to have some special portraits taken to make into gifts or cards for the family. These sessions are best for 1-3 children and can either focus on group or individual portraits. Details are on the website under “Specials”. Hurry, limited slots available!
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!
