I arrived at this family's house at 5:45pm on Wednesday - yikes, you might say - why so late? Well Dad takes a class on Wednesday nights, and it was our one chance to get Father's Day photos of the kids all together without him knowing about it. So my mom did Annie's daycare pickup and I got to have fun shooting in late afternoon light - a rarity for me.
So I'll admit I was nervous... a 5:45pm start time? The witching hour? How was it going to go? But I was so pleasantly surprised! These guys were awesome, the sweetest big sister (14 yrs) and wonderful big brother (12 yrs) - and little brother (3 yrs) did so well with the late hour.
What a handsome guy. I love S's smile in this one - so genuine! Can you tell he's about to leap up into a tree here? Even in his nice shirt :)
And here's a giggly C, being amused by his brother and sister.
And gorgeous K - hanging out in one of the amazing trees near their house. We got to run around within the coolest huge trees during the shoot... the light was so beautiful - and it was fun to boot.
They just had such fun together.
So the expression you see on C's face here is a reaction to perhaps the most stubborn dandelion ever... after blowing, blowing and blowing on it, those little seedlings just wouldn't let go. Made for a great shot, though.
So his sister stepped in to help... eventually they did get the seedlings to come loose from the dandelion, but it took a lot of work!
And I couldn't finish up blogging this session without a quick memory from December of '05 - little C with his dad. And as I always mention when it's a surprise for dad photoshoot - shhhh - if you know these guys, don't mention it to Dad, OK?
Great to see you guys again. Your photos will all be ready by the end of the weekend.
