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.
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.
Our Family is Growing
Lowell, MA - We had the pleasure of photographing the Andrea and Keith’s wedding back in 2007. As with a lot of our wedding clients, we usually seem to cross paths again once a new addition enters their family. In this case, one month old Madelynn was was star of this session.
We’d like to congratulate Andrea and Keith on bringing a beautiful baby girl into the world!
Kids Being Kids
As families grow so do its individual members. It’s important to us to capture each child at their particular stage in their life, so we would never photograph a 2 year old the same way we would a 6 year old. Having them bring in objects (toys, books, games and dress-ups) that they love sometimes helps bring out their individuality. It’s also important that the kids have fun during the session because that’s when we can capture their true personalities.
Sessions with siblings are usually very high energy and it can be challenging to keep their interest for the entire session. However, when we love photographing brothers and sisters together because when they interact with each other it is completely genuine. Even if the photography experience is new to them, they have their support network right there and that adds to the atmosphere both in the studio and on location.
Our job is pretty fun, don’t you think?
