It's been awhile since I updated all my kids portraits. Some of the images in my living room were up to three years old! It was mainly the boys who's pictures hadn't been updated in awhile. I photograph a lot of little children, in fact I specialize in children's portraiture. But getting good shots of my kids is a different story. They always do things like squint so bad that you cannot see their eyes with the remarks like "The sun's too bright" (seriously? It was a CLOUDY day. Or they stomp and contort and twist their little bodies and faces like this...... Eventually I get these tough nut's to crack though. I did a whole lot of thinking before this session. I wanted beautiful images of my children, but I didn't want something ordinary. I wanted to capture their natures. I also wanted a look that would flow with our home and reflect elements and styles that we love too. Then it hit me. Brick. Our home is kind of a rustic/farmhouse style with an industrial twist, and I've been trying to sway slightly more towards the industrial vibe. I knew the brick would help with that. Sadly, this was the only one of my oldest and it didn't capture him as well as I would have liked. He has very sensitive eyes and the "sun" was too much for him. So we are going to go back and try to get some more soon! But after a couple good shots my middle boy suddenly decided to let his wild colors show! I have this feeling that he's going to be popular with the girls someday.... I tried so hard to get a good group portrait, but it didn't work out here with the brick....I did get this sweet candid though, and it's going to have a very prominent spot on the wall. I love it. God has blessed us immensely with this fun bunch! If you have time leave a comment if you would to tell them what a great job they did on picture day!
