Ok.You gotta read this entire post to understand the story. Baby isn’t ready to sit up quite yet. Baby in slippery bubble bath. Nope, she’s going scuba diving. So I gingerly ask mom if she’d get a bathing suit on and jump in the bath tub with baby and hold on while I snap pictures of her daughter having a grand olde time in the bubbles. It worked. we all had a great time, I got great shots without dropping my camera in the tub, baby stayed above the water, and we all got splashed.
These August mornings in Denver have been so beautiful. The temperature is perfect, the sun is strong and bright, and everyone is ready to enjoy the outdoors. Here’s a recent session from Governors’ Park.
But I will create their portraits.? I went home happy and with pants smeared with slobber from this session.? What fun!
I didn’t know I got this until I got home and started looking through the portraits.
Usually I drive east to meet families.? I live in Arvada, and I’m often driving to Park Hill, Lowry, Stapleton, and parts east.? This evening, though, as I wound my way up Golden Gate Canyon Rd towards Gilpin County,? I knew I was in for a treat of mountain air, evening light, and a some fun in the woods.
As mom and dad got ready,? the kids and I walked up the road to a neighbors house, an immaculately manicured mountain garden.? Here’s a few of my favorites from the session.
It’s been a few years since I captured this Denver family, and I was excited to see how they’d grown.
Portraits with kids is always a new game every morning. This game started out a little, shall we say, askew. I’ll let the portraits tell the story: First, I had a bit of a time getting the eyes to look my way…
But then, after finding we both know that Cyclops was the one eyed mythical creature, he started looking into my cyclops eye and things started to move a bit faster…
But lets not forget that he’s one of three…
I often tell parents that the first half of a session with a young child is just the get-to-know you phase. If you look at the shots from a session from beginning to end, a relationship is becoming evident between myself and the child, and parents can see that in the way the child appears in the portraits.
These next ones were after we’d been working for about 40 minutes. Sam was ready for his pictures.
Looking forward to seeing these kids in a few more years!
