It all came together…

Great weather, kids in a good mood, and beautiful evening sun.  It also didn’t hurt that the kids looked like something out of a Ralph Lauren ad:).  I love this family and always enjoy shooting them.  The kids really orchestrated what they felt comfortable with and how they wanted to have fun.  It’s always fun to see what “unfolds” and roll with it.  I LOVED so many of these poses!  Really amazing!

Frogs and snails and puppy dog tails…

Three adorable boys…loads of thick hair, sweet plaid overalls, seersucker shorts, and lots of “rough and tumble” fun!   There were also some very tender moments in the mix… 

 

Serenity on the beach…

Early morning is always a great time to shoot on the beach.  The light is nice and diffused and creates a softness that I love.  Enter stage left, a beautiful family ready to play on the beach – and great photos are made!   Had we shot at high noon or on a very bright, sunny day,  the feel of the pictures would have been quite different.  I’m glad it all came together the way it did.  Everything about this family was sweet, gentle, and unrushed.  Perfect harmony!

Ann Speaker - Your work is amazing.

The “cute” factor…

I shot 3 little brothers on the beach on Sunday.  I had genuine fun during the shoot just laughing at all the cute things they were doing.  Mom was great at bringing out their personalities and gave me ample opportunity to capture great candid moments.  It’s times like this I really LOVE my job!:) 

Fun in the Sun…

I love shooting at the beach in the summer.  It feels so effortless when the children are in their “element” and just playing and splashing and having fun.  However, I was an old “meanie” when I had to coax everyone to leave the water and go where the light was best by some trees and beach grass, which seemed much less fun, I’m sure:).
