We spent the weekend in Tahoe so we decided to head out to the mountains and take some family photos in the early morning light. There's nothing like autumn, morning, mountain light to get a photographer excited! Unfortunately the kids only lasted about a half hour before melting down but it turned out to be plenty of time to capture some cute photos. That's why I'm offering mini sessions this season! 30 minutes is the perfect amount of time for young families.
Love these guys! <3
Due to the rainy weekend we had I was forced to re-schedule a few shoots. I did end up squeezing one in. I was insanely worried the kids would be miserable because of the cold, wind and occasional rain but boy, was I wrong! These kids were all smiles! I didn't even managed to go through all the photos and found these three gems already! I'm in love with them!
Sibling love!
The kids wanted to climb a tree so I said "why not?"
Seriously, JJ looks way too grown up in this picture!
Last weekend I had full day of shoots trying to catch those perfect moments for Holiday cards. Below are a few of my favorite works-in-progress.
My wonderful niece Logan!
All smiles for Mama!
It's always a huge challenge to capture each and every member of a young family smiling and happy all at the same time. While I tend to come close, I don't always get it. So, I like to provide my clients with pictures of their children smiling even if it's not with the whole family around. I will go all over a park attempting to find that one place or activity that will make them smile!
Almost got it!
Happy Baby!
And sometimes you think you nailed it but then you realize your niece has a tree growing out of her head...
Incredible fall color.
Meanwhile... same day, same park, different family, different view and lighting...
All smiles!
Beautiful in black and white.
Goofing around!
Sky loved to clap!
What a tiring but fun day! Lots of lessons learned. More shoots this weekend if only the weather would hold up...
