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.

Destination Massachusetts

Lowell, MA - Rachael+Ariel are planning their June wedding in Lenox, MA at the beautiful Seven Hills Inn. It’s actually a destination wedding for them and the majority of their guests because they are currently living in Florida. In fact they drove up only days before our engagement session. That’s a tough commute to get some wedding planning done, but we were delighted to hear that we’d have a chance to meet and have an engagement session before the wedding.

It’s pretty important for the couple and their photographers to get to know each other before the wedding. Engagement sessions are an opportunity to break the ice, have fun and make some pictures.

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.

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!
