Summer Family Photography
I love summer sessions, especially when the sky cooperates. We made it 5 minutes into this session with Liz, Rebecca and Sophie before stepping in a mud puddle and being rained on. They were brave (and had umbrellas) – so the rain gave up and went away. . . . leaving us with this glorious light!
We were entertained with Rebecca’s running commentary and Sophie’s improv dance. Fun, free-spirited sessions like this are my favourites!
Liz is that wonderful mom who gives individual attention and respect to her daughters (and I see it returned to her).
Sophie, I loved your swing idea!!
I love how these 3 are around each other – free to be themselves. . . . funny, quirky and connected.
Summer sessions really are different from fall portraits. They suit some people better. This summer, I’m offering a special on all children’s photography sessions. You can see the details here –> Children’s summer portraits
Jay, you are the Frank Lloyd Wright of portrait photographers. Your work is in harmony with nature and captures the best in people. Thank-you so much !!!
Thank you Liz! The genuine enjoyment you 3 have together is the best part of these!
Sometimes patience is the true mark of a good photographer, as you waited for this ideal break in the sky, providing such ideal, natural studio-like lighting. I’m sure you used a fill flash as well, making for such beautiful images! Well done Jay!
Hey thanks Rob! Good to hear from you. I usually avoid flash for this kind of session . . . I don’t want to distract them from their natural interaction. Did use a reflector on the headshots though!
