This lovely client wanted me to go to a location that I hadn’t shot at. And I was glad that they had suggested this place. It is built to look like a town in Croatia, with some of the stones even imported from there.
Being with this family for that morning, I remember the kids having the cutest little giggles. They were so happy and had no problems hugging each other (and not letting go!) when asked.
Lets talk props, more specifically balloons. I have a love/hate relationship with them. They look great in photos, but they are a pain to deal with. They pop while inflating, they pop in the car (and scare the living daylights out of me!) or then if they survive it all the way to the location, they pop once there and make the poor kid cry or they let go of the balloon before the photo has even been taken!!
In this case, I had told the Mom that I had a big pink balloon that I wanted to use, filled with confetti. This is what happened:
But who needs balloons when you have a gorgeous family to photograph?!
I have lost count how many photo sessions I have done with this family, and each time it gets better and better. We try and mix up the location every time, beach, urban, local train station etc. This time…their park. Talk about fun and lots of running around, on everyone’s part!
My this family has grown from when I did their first session. Their little girl was barely walking and now look at her, she runs the house. They bought a new home just recently so we decided to do an in home session, and what better way to fill their blank walls with photos from this session.
When you are photographing 3 children, all with different personalities, you don’t know what to expect. There was a lot of laughing, big smiles, and splashing in the water for this family.
That bow tie though, absolutely loved it!
