E&B – Child Photography Session

September 11, 2012 in Client Sessions

One Saturday morning, I traveled very close to the Ohio border to photograph E and B. We wandered around their yard, and their grandma’s farm next door exploring and photographing.

This is my favorite type of session. I was able to capture the kids in their own environment, with their own things, looking like themselves, while their mom got to enjoy the shade from a comfy chair near the house. Her only job for the day was to get them dressed and ready to send out the door with me.

“B” loves his Gator, and he traveled around on it to different locations on the property. Here he stopped to unload some dirt.

“E” spent some time picking flowers from her grandma’s garden. She wandered around it telling me what type of flowers were planted where.

“B” started the session with a ride on his pedal tractor. This was fun for him, and a great opportunity for me to set him at ease in front of the camera.

“E”s grandma had this wonderful chair on her back porch, so we pulled it into the yard to play around putting flowers on it and sitting on it.

A Mini Session with Some of the Miller’s

September 5, 2012 in Client Sessions

At a recent family gathering, I got the chance to photograph my aunt and uncle, and my beautiful cousins. One traveled all the way from Ecuador for the mini photo session. Okay, she came for many other reasons besides that, but it was nice to take a few minutes away from the party to capture them all together, as that happens rarely these days. The main problem I have with these photos is that the two husbands are missing!

The great thing about mini sessions is they are low pressure and quick. I bet we were outside less than 20 minutes, and there was plenty of laughing and goofing around happening. We also took the opportunity to get some head shots of my aunt, who is an amazing artist, and my cousin Aimee, who is about to be famous all over Ecuador for her part in a new tasty cupcake shop.

It helps when your subjects are so lovely and have wonderful personalities and smiles!

Thanks some-of-the-Miller’s for letting me capture you with my camera.
