I’m going to let the pictures do the talking for this one… <3
One thing I remember about photographing this family is that there was a retirement community, I guess, near the park where we met. And people kept stopping to talk to the kids and to comment about how cute they were. They sure were. 🙂
These pictures make me happy because they could so easily be of my family, or of any other family with young kids. It’s an ordinary afternoon at the playground, like we have all the time. And sometimes we forget how special an ordinary afternoon in the park really is. I get lots of reminders to be present and enjoy these times, and these pictures are another reminder of that. 🙂
I also want to share what I wrote on Facebook about this shoot, because so many of us get it, and so many of us have a hard time realizing that whatever our kids – or we – are wearing, it’s good enough.
When I asked this mom if she knew what her boys would be wearing, she said, “I consider it a win when they put clothes on.” So I love this family photo because I think it’s representative of life with two little ones. Who out there can totally relate? Little bit hectic and a lot wonderful.
If you’re interested in a family photo shoot, click here or a special offer (good through July 7, 2015).
This little girl loves to look at the camera and smile, and I love that her mom knows my style well enough to ask if that would make things harder for me. 🙂 It didn’t. She was perfect. They all were. I’m so glad this family chose me to capture their personalities and their love for each other.
The early evening light is beautiful in the summer, and I’ve been having so much fun meeting families at the park to capture half an hour in their lives. There’s not always time or money or the desire for a full family documentary shoot (although you absolutely should do those sometimes too!!!) and this is a great opportunity to capture some of these special times…the way things are right now.
Through the fall I am offering mini sessions on a regular (although limited) basis.
