Alaina | 2 years old | Family Portraits

In Studio Family Portraits

Lowell, MA – At 2 years old, Alaina was wonderful to photograph. Most sessions with children this age are super high paced. This was no different, but with those blue eyes and dimples, she made it incredibly easy to make these images. Here are some of our favorites from the session and I believe it’s also the introduction of the blue suitcase… kids love the blue suitcase!

Family Photography and High Energy Children

“You won’t really know if you got it, so keep shooting”

Lowell, MA - This was one of the most high energy family sessions of last year. But what do you do when these sweet and adorable kids are so full of energy and can hardly stay still? In this case we got a lot of support from Mom and Dad (crucial to any family session), and we also took a ton of pictures. It was like shooting sports, where you follow the action and trust your auto focus. And of course we photographed the whole family together at the beginning of the session, when the kids were still warming up to the studio environment. After that we kind of just let them be themselves (which is our natural style anyway), as opposed to trying to pose them. The best part about a high energy session is that when you are looking back at your images your realize that you’ve captured their personalities perfectly.

Personality!

Letting them be themselves…

Lowell, MA – While working with young children it’s always our goal to create images that show off their personality. The best way to do this is to plan some time during the session that is devoted to just having fun and playing. This session with Lilee (around 18 mo. in these images) shows a child just having fun which allows for the wonderfully expressive moments. At 18 months there is very little posing going on anyway, as you can imagine, so it’s natural to  allow the child’s mood and energy level to dictate the pace of the session.
