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!
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.
Last week we got one night with no rain (yay) and the kids camped out with Dad. Our 4 year old daughter wrote a sign for camp which read “Kamp Owt”. We thought that a pretty neat effort. Even after working hard to pitch the tent she still had some energy for some high kicks. They ate dinner at dark and did some star gazing. The simple things are always the best! These images were a joint effort between Mike and I and were taken with the available light. Happy Summer to family and friends in England. We are in ENVY of your glorious weather!
Just spending some time today completing a gallery for a recent studio session. I really love this new portrait and thought it special enough to show here.
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.
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.
With a one day break in the weather last weekend we went to Acton Town Fair. Mike and I are spending time this Summer working on some photojournalistic photography. Here’s a selection from the evening. Note the gathering clouds. It wasn’t long before the rain came back! All was not lost though. The French Fries were fantastic!
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.
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.
It’s now officially Summer..WOHOO! I am so ready for some lazy hazy days and I am sure you are too.
Actually I’ve also been thinking back to last summer. I ran children and baby summer mini sessions in 2008 and they were very popular. So they are back again!
