A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting the H family. Mom found me, of all places, on a BabyCenter bulletin board through the recommendation of one of my best clients. She had been looking at my website for quite some time, and early last month she booked her family’s first session with me.
I was so excited for this session because I was going to shoot for the first time at my new favorite location, Berry Springs Park in Georgetown. If you haven’t been out there yet, it is so worth the drive! This place has it all, a wonderful pecan orchard, bridges, wildflower field, water features and even donkeys! Every time I go out there I discover something new, and I was so eager to capture it with a family.
We met out at the park and I was excited to meet the family. Mom and Dad are blessed to have two little girls, this one…
and this one! hee hee!
What can I say? Doxie lovers flock to me! *wink*
The baby was about to turn 1 and Mom and Dad were looking for some family shots. We played all over the park – the orchard was just lovely.
The light was playing so many tricks with me that I had them moving all over the place! Trees are always a great addition to any shot, but you have to put your subjects in just the right place. I was completely delighted though when I managed to capture some natural high key images like this one…
I just love that image!! It will definitely be on my website soon.
I really wanted to get some bridge shots with this family, but unfortunately for us the park had been taken over that morning by not only a high school ROTC program, but what appeared to be several boy scout groups as well (why does this keep happening to me??!? lol!). By the time the bridge was clear the sun was too high and we couldn’t really capture much without major light blow outs. I did get a great family shot though…
Luckily, Mom suggested we take a walk down the path to what looked like a little pavilion – I was so glad she did because the light over there was amazing!
Don’t they look great?!
The last few shots I captured were by far my favorites. I just love all the “love” in this shot.
H family, thank you so much for spending the morning with me and allowing me to hang out with a wonderful family. I had so much fun!
Thanks for looking,
D 🙂
