Good morning! This morning, I am gearing up to do some blogging, but I am also sending out e-mails, invoices, contracts, and of course keeping a strict eye on the weather as this upcoming weekend is filled with many family and child photography sessions. However, enough business: let's get down to why you're really here - to see a beautiful family who happens to be some of my favorite people!
I'm thrilled to have photographed the H family; they're some of our very close family friends and our little ones have had many fun adventures together. You know that friend you call when you're lonely but don't want to go grocery shopping alone? Yup - we call one another! Or maybe if the kiddos are at school and you want someone to sit and fold laundry with you, chat about a good book, or just visit the park on a sunny days. We even spend holidays together and birthdays. When I have Amelia, this is who I'll be calling to stay with my babies and one of the first people I told about our pregnancy. Whether we're bbqing, shopping, having coffee, or even just meeting up for lunch it's always a great time. So this in mind, I'm sure you can guess I worked super hard on this session because I wanted it to be absolutely perfect from the light, to location, to outfits, to posing, ect - nothing less than beautiful would suffice.
For their natural light and outdoor session, I had the H family meet me in beautiful Cypress, a suburb of Houston, at Telge Park for a sunrise session complete with stunning morning light, connected posing, and a gorgeous color scheme (Mom and I agonized over the colors and spend a lot of time putting them together). Here are my favorite images - and I must say narrowing down our favorites for wall art took some time. We ended up doing framed images on archival deep matte print to show off the creamy background; 16x20 was our favorite size but several 11x14 are on the walls, too. We also designed an adorable holiday card so that was a fun project, too! This seriously one of my favorite 2015 fall sessions.
On a gear related note I often receive e-mails in which others ask the lenses I use. This session was photographed using a Canon 6d, 135 mm f/2L lens and a 200 mm f/2.8L lens. This is where all the gorgeous background compression comes from - the lenses which are worth every cent!
And then, of course, we had to give Elizabeth her own time to shine! Isn't she precious? We told her to simply dance and enjoy herself. She is so sassy and fierce!
I'd love to document your own family or child session!
