This was our third time photographing the H family, and each shoot is easier and more fun than the last. Because Jonny and Steven play so well together, it was easy to get lots of great images at two different locations. The wonderful light didn’t hurt, either.
Our last shoot of the year was fantastic all-around – great model, wonderful family, to-die-for lighting. It was a little cold, but one year old Austin was full of smiles and fantastic eye-contact, and he did great with all of our location changes. The scenery was so gorgeous, I couldn’t help but take a minute to gaze at the light coming through the clouds and watch the sun set.
The afternoon before Kieran started kindergarten, we got him and two of his buddies together at the park for an impromptu photo shoot to commemorate the occasion. All three boys were really excited to show off their backpacks, eat apples, and run around in the park. Ainsley even got into the spirit by proudly holding up the chalkboard.
This was a fun shoot. The light was great, the sky was slightly overcast, and we didn’t really have too much of a set plan — we just let the kids play together and ran after them with the camera, which usually results in the most natural photos.
